<p>DUBLIN, Calif. - May 14, 2002 - Sybase, Inc. (NYSE: SY), a leading<br />
enterprise infrastructure and integration company, today announced that<br />
Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise, the company's enterprise-class<br />
relational database management system (RDBMS), will be available for<br />
shipment to Mac OS X customers within the third quarter of this year. With<br />
ASE, system implementers will be able to deploy high-performance, scalable<br />
RDBMS' on the Mac. Sybase also announces ASE will provide support for<br />
Apple's WebObjects, allowing application developers using Apple's<br />
WebObjects full support from ASE's rich feature set.</p>
<p>"Apple's new Xserve, along with Mac OS X and Apple's traditional strengths<br />
in the education and creative professional markets, reinforces our decision<br />
to bring Adaptive Server Enterprise, Sybase's high-performance, scalable,<br />
enterprise-class RDBMS, to the Mac," said Dr. Raj Nathan, senior vice<br />
president and general manager, Sybase Enterprise Solutions Division. "We're<br />
looking forward to the potential for new business from these new markets<br />
and to the opportunity to build on our business in areas where our<br />
customers overlap."</p>
<p>"We're excited by how the UNIX-based capabilities of Mac OS X, combined<br />
with the power of our new Xserve, are enabling enterprise software<br />
companies like Sybase to bring industrial strength applications to the<br />
Mac," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer<br />
Relations. "Sybase's enterprise-class database, ASE, on the Mac will create<br />
new opportunities for Sybase in Apple's traditionally strong markets, while<br />
bringing a robust new application to Apple's customers and developers."</p>
<p>"North Plains Systems is proud to be one of the first enterprise-class<br />
asset management systems to support Sybase," says Steve Sauder, CTO, North<br />
Plains Systems, the leading enterprise-class digital asset management<br />
company. "With Adaptive Server Enterprise, it only took days to port from a<br />
TeleScope Enterprise Microsoft SQL Server running on NT to ASE running on<br />
Mac OS X. Not only are we ecstatic about Sybase bringing enterprise<br />
database technology to the Mac, but our customers are too."</p>
<p>Sybase's enterprise-class RDBMS, ASE 12.5, supports the heavy data<br />
processing needs of traditional OLTP and the complex data manipulation<br />
needs of decision support systems, while providing the flexibility,<br />
scalability, performance and security needed to support new, e-Business<br />
applications. ASE 12.5's commitment to openness and performance gives<br />
customers a robust choice for managing their transaction-intensive<br />
applications and mission-critical data. Sybase ASE provides system<br />
implementers with leading-edge support for Java and XML technologies while<br />
maintaining an attractive total cost of ownership.</p>
<p>"In a recent study of enterprise customers, purchasers of Mac OS X are<br />
significantly more likely to be considering database systems than customers<br />
not running Mac OS X with 23 percent considering purchasing a database<br />
management system," said Michael Kelly, chairman and chief architect of<br />
Techtel Corporation, a technology market research firm based in Emeryville,<br />
Calif. "I would expect Sybase's introduction to only accelerate this<br />
interest."</p>
