StreamBase announced that customers of Aleri-Coral8 or Sybase-RAP can now register to trade-in their products and migrate to StreamBases Complex Event Processing (CEP) software under the StreamBase Amnesty Program for Sybase-Aleri-Coral8 Customers. This follows the announcement today that Sybase has acquired Aleri.Although we applaud Sybases recognition of the CEP market and their efforts to enter it, todays announcement of the acquisition of Aleri raises new questions about the future of this platform for customers and partners, says Mark Palmer, CEO of StreamBase. Given the uncertainty resulting from this merger, we are offering Sybase, Aleri or Coral8 customers a one-time credit to migrate to StreamBase.Its unlikely that Sybase will maintain 4 separate products, says Richard Tibbetts, CTO at StreamBase. Aleri had 3 separate CEP product initiatives; Coral8, Aleri, plus OHIO, their ongoing project to merge Aleri and Coral8. Sybases CEP product RAP is yet a fourth code base. As a result, weve been approached by customers of all these products and asked to provide migration strategies to StreamBase. StreamBase has obvious attraction for these customers as it is a platform based on industry standard SQL and a company with a single, unified focus on offering the best CEP platform in the industry.Under the StreamBase Amnesty Program for Sybase-Aleri-Coral8 Customers, customers will have until February 28th, 2010 to register their interest in trading-in their existing Sybase, Aleri or Coral8 CEP platform for StreamBase. Previous investment in these technologies will be credited to the adoption of StreamBase. Register at www.streambase.com/amnesty to learn more.
StreamBase also offers a comprehensive program to assist with the migration process. First, StreamBase has designed a Best Practices Workshop for those investigating the migration process. Second, StreamBase is providing free porting services for any Sybase-Aleri-Coral8 clients that purchase StreamBase during 2010.
Migration Best Practices: Moving from Aleri SPLASH or Coral8 CCL to StreamBase StreamSQL is a workshop designed by Richard Tibbetts, StreamBases Chief Technology Officer, and led by StreamBases senior field architects. The program is intended to assist Sybase-Aleri-Coral8 customers with the migration to StreamBase.
