COGNOS ANNOUNCES POWERHOUSE 4GL AND POWERHOUSE WEB FOR LINUX

Cognos continues its ongoing commitment to its PowerHouse customers with the upcoming release of PowerHouse 4GL and PowerHouse Web for Linux. This is a direct port of the industry-leading application development tool that is so successful on other UNIX platforms as well as MPE/iX, OpenVMS, and Windows.

The version is 8.43E and is consistent with the 8.43E version for UNIX released in 2007. The new release is also compatible with Axiant 3.4E for thin-client applications.

The Linux version is built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 and also tested on SUSE Linux Enterprise 10. It supports Oracle 10g, DB2, Sybase, Eloquence, and DataDirect ODBC to Microsoft SQL Server. Indexed file support is provided by DISAM.

PowerHouse 4GL for Linux gives migrating customers yet another option. They can now move forward using an open-source computing platform while retaining the productivity and reliability of PowerHouse.
