Red Hat Partnership

Red Hat and Sybase announced a partnership yesterday to deliver the first enterprise data management appliance for RHEL 5.
I find this very exciting. It has been great to see the partnership flourish over the past few years. Sybase has been in the Linux business for a long time – Wim Ten Have, a Sybase engineer in the Netherlands, ported SQL Server 11.0.3 to Linux around 1998 – and ever since we have done a great deal of investment in the Linux platform in terms of product porting, enhancements, and support. Now you will be able to deploy ASE and Red Hat as a single integrated package with cooperative support.
I had the pleasure of traveling to Red Hat’s engineering center in Massachusetts a few months ago. The Sybase contingent I was with spent the day meeting with partner managers, product managers, and the actual engineers. We did all the good things: shared roadmaps, talked general issues, specific customer pain points, and how our companies can better work together.
Here’s a contrast that couldn’t be starker: we’ve embraced our relationship with Red Hat and worked hard to bring it to this level; brand O has decided to go into direct competition with Red Hat by attempted to undercut them on Red Hat’s own hard work and intellectual property.
Go to www.sybase.com to see the press releases. I’ll also include links here:

If the press release is to be believed, then massive strides have been made in making DBMS hosting in a virtual machine viable. None of the links above give much detail as to what is actually being done with ASE to achieve this feat.
The links imply that the DBMS will be more of a low/midrange data warehouse type of system. I wonder how this will work with ASE in a cluster type scenario.... I mean, will the cluster relationship be similar to ASIQ?
Just trying to figure this out with what little information we have.
Dave, can you elaborate on this new product?

Does the Redhat partnership include a version of ASE Express Edition for 64 bit AMD processors that does not core dump?
