Pervasive PSQL v11 - We're Certified!

                       

This just in: Pervasive PSQL v11 is now part of two very important programs. PSQL v11 is now Certified for Windows 2008 R2 and is VMware Ready. Both of these programs require software to go through rigorous testing to make sure that the application (or in our case, database) works well in these environments.

If you are using WIndows Server 2008 R2 or VMware (or both together), you can be comfortable in the knowledge that Pervasive PSQL will run just fine in both environments. After  years  of Pervasive PSQL compatibility with all of the key technology platforms, you would not expect anything less.

Get Ready for Pervasive PSQL Vx Beta

If you use Pervasive PSQL on a virtual machine, get ready for the beta version of PSQL Vx. Downloads of the beta version will be made available in the next several weeks. This brand new product will answer many of the questions customers have been asking about PSQL in a virtual environment. Expect another newsletter soon and keep checking the website. Meanwhile, you can listen to the latest podcast about Pervasive PSQL Vx in The Latest Word.
