Quest Software has expanded its Toad product portfolio with the addition of free and commercial versions of Toad for Sybase.
The new suite adds Sybase ASE, Sybase IQ and SQL Anywhere to Toad’s list of supported relational and non-relational database platforms, said the company.
Toad for Sybase enables users to be proactive in automating maintenance, ensuring optimal performance, and mitigating the risk of change to the database, the company said.
It added, Toad automates routine tasks and greatly reduces the risks associated with database vulnerability, performance bottlenecks, upgrades and patches.
Quest Software says its Toad product portfolio is used by over one million users worldwide.
The company said the Toad portfolio’s deep domain functionality paired with its support for diverse, heterogeneous environments make it a comprehensive multi-platform database offering.
Organisations running Sybase alongside other database platforms now have the ability to standardise on the toolset while reducing the learning curve and training costs associated with adopting new, disparate tools, said the company.
Quest Software director of product management for Toad solutions Claudia Fernandez said the more than 15,000 downloads of the Toad for Sybase beta show that there is strong demand for development and administration tools for Sybase.
"We have a strong partnership with Sybase, and look forward to supporting their users with both free and commercial tools," added Fernandez.
