Schooner Information Technology Inc., a provider of data access appliances for Web 2.0 and cloud computing data centers, said Monday it is collaborating with IBM Corp. (NYSE: IBM) on fully integrated data access appliances.
Menlo Park, Calif-based Schooner said the first two products in a family of data access appliances with Armonk, N.Y.-based IBM (NYSE:IBM) are for MySQL enterprise and for Memcached and are built on IBM System x server technology.
“It was natural that we aligned with IBM,” said Michael Pray, vice president of sales and marketing for Schooner. “Each party brings significant benefits to the relationship. By leveraging IBM’s proven server platform, global reach and world-class sales and support resources, Schooner can bring its breakthrough technology to customers worldwide who are trying to solve scale-out data center challenges.”
Under the guidance of the IBM Venture Capital Group, Schooner partnered with the IBM System x group for server technology, co-branded sales and after-market support.
Financial terms of the collaboration were not disclosed.
IBM has about 11,000 employees in Research Triangle Park.
