Utilize 64-bit addressing, high-performance and reliability for database applications

Greenbelt, MD. - Empress announces Empress RDBMS's ability to support both 32-bit and 64-bit applications on Hewlett-Packard's HP-UX 11. The Empress RDBMS running under HP-UX 11 offers both 64-bit and 32-bit application developers a development environment which delivers high-performance, reliability, and optimized features for Internet computing.

Among Empress RDBMS's chief assets in the HP-UX 11 environment are high-performance and reliability.

The reliability of Empress has been continuously proven in data-intensive, robust applications in fields ranging from telecommunications to healthcare systems.

"The choice of whether to use a 32-bit or 64-bit Hewlett-Packard platform for development should be the user's," states Njai Wong, Director of Product Development at Empress Software. "We have a responsibility to provide a solid, reliable and robust database management system. In addition, it is a primary objective of ours to optimize our database for performance within both 32-bit and 64-bit environments. With the support of the HP Partnership Software Provider Program, we met this objective in the release of Empress RDBMS for HP-UX 11."
