Ingres Partners with Red Hat to Offer Open Source Software Stacks

In yet another move signalling the move toward cross-vendor combinations of commercial open source software, database player Ingres and Red Hat have formed a partnership, announced today. It's designed to provide combined open source software stacks for businesses. Three enterprise customers--Biveroni Batschelet Partners AG (BBP), Allied Express, and Connected Weddings--have migrated to stacks based on Ingres Database, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and JBoss Enterprise Middleware. According to an Ingres statement: The combined stack gives enterprises and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) a low-cost alternative to proprietary application development. With IT spending down in this economy, and, at the same time, increased spending on open source software, these stack offerings have a lot of promise.
