SQL Server 2012 Delivers Highly Scalable Database for Global PLM Deployments
Andover, MA, May 10, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Aras®, the leading enterprise open source Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software solution provider, today announced the availability of the Aras Innovator® platform and solution suite on Microsoft Corp.’s SQL Server 2012. Aras enabled on SQL Server 2012 offers a new level of scalability with high availability, including on-demand scaling, next-generation performance capabilities and the ability to extend data from on-premise implementations to cloud deployments.
“As PLM is extended across the global supply chain, the requirements for high performance at massive scale continue to increase,” said Peter Bilello, President at CIMdata. “The proven scalability of SQL Server 2012 combined with Aras’ partitionable Web architecture are well suited to perform in these types of distributed global deployments.”
“SQL Server 2012 was developed to give our customers capabilities that extend beyond the database, providing a cloud-ready information platform that delivers mission-critical confidence and breakthrough insight,” said Eugene Saburi, General Manager, SQL Server Product Marketing, at Microsoft. “Aras’s enterprise PLM solution on SQL Server 2012 aims to give enterprises global scalability and demonstrate the company’s commitment to delivering the best new technologies to customers.”
“While the globalization of product development offers many advantages, it also presents businesses with new challenges, such as performance, always-on accessibility and the ability to accurately and efficiently manage ever-increasing amounts of data. SQL Server 2012 offers companies that run Aras the robust, reliable platform they need for a successful enterprise-wide PLM deployment that can manage big data and grow and evolve with their business,” said Peter Schroer, President of Aras.

- On-Demand Scaling - Scale beyond the constraints of any one deployment environment by taking advantage hybrid IT opportunities with a common architecture that spans traditional servers, appliances and the cloud.
