Mimer SQL has a long and proven track record as an enterprise database server for mission critical systems all over the world. Mimer SQL is in use in many turnkey software solutions from independent software vendors where the product’s zero maintenance and “install & forget” concept attracts both software developers and end users.
“We have been closely following Apple’s success with both Tiger and Tiger Server and we are convinced of their long-term potential in the enterprise environment,” said Magnus Hedencrona, CEO, Mimer Information Technology. “We see significant upside for Mimer SQL on Mac OS X Tiger and are excited about partnering with end-user server customers and independent software vendors who require a proven embedded database for their volume products.”
“Full support for open standards, legendary ease of use and robust Unix-like stability are behind the strong momentum of Tiger and Tiger Server in enterprise markets,” said Ron Okamoto, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. “We’re delighted that Mimer SQL continues to take full advantage of Apple innovation to develop new versions of its powerful database product.”
Mimer SQL is one of the most open database management system on the market with full support for established database standards like ISO SQL: 1999, ISO PSM for stored procedures and functions, JDBC and ODBC. The extensive multi lingual capabilities include support for Unicode 4.0 and predefined sort and search rules (collations) for more than 125 different languages including Japanese and Chinese.
Mimer SQL is a cross platform product available also on Linux, Unix and Windows. Mimer has also extended its database server technology to smart phones and other mobile devices. This has created a unique cross platform support, where the same Mimer SQL product that handles thousands of simultaneous users on enterprise servers also is available on mobile phones and PDAs from vendors like HP, Nokia and Sony Ericsson.
In conjunction with the release of Mimer SQL for Tiger and Tiger Server, Mimer is announcing an introductory offer, where a 10-user run-time license for Mac OS X Tiger or Tiger Server costs USD 995, and a run-time license for an unlimited number of users costs USD 1,790.
