Sybase iAnywhere Offers Support for Panasonic Toughbook U1

By Niladri Sekhar Nath, TMCnet Contributing Editor

Sybase iAnywhere (News - Alert) has introduced the support of its Information Anywhere Suite's Afaria management and security solution for the Panasonic Toughbook U1. The U1 happens to be the first rugged ultra mobile PC (UMPC) to integrate the new low power Intel (News - Alert) Atom processor.



 
The U1 has redefined handheld computing by integrating robust features previously only available on a full size Toughbook PC in a rugged UMPC form factor that can be used anywhere.
 
"The combination of Sybase iAnywhere's Afaria management and security solution and the U1 enables companies to turn walking workers into knowledge workers equipped with an ultra-mobile computing solution within a rugged package for maximum durability for the environment in which they work," said Kyp Walls, director of product management, Panasonic (News - Alert) Computer Solutions Company.
 
Afaria, a core component of the Information Anywhere suite, provides comprehensive management and security capabilities to ensure that mobile data and devices are up-to-date, reliable and secure. With Afaria, IT has the level of control and visibility required to proactively manage and secure multiple device types, applications, data and communications critical to frontline success, regardless of the bandwidth available.
 
Additionally, with the introduction of the Toughbook U1, Sybase iAnywhere will extend its longstanding support of Panasonic's Toughbook line with its mobile and embedded database, SQL Anywhere. This will provide mobile workers with extensive data management and exchange technologies that enable applications for frontline environments without onsite IT support.
 
"We are very pleased to continue our strong partnership with Panasonic and ongoing support of its successful line of Toughbook PCs," said Bernie Prusaczyk, senior director, channel sales, Sybase iAnywhere. "Both companies have made it a priority to fulfill specialized customer needs in various vertical market segments and together we share the common goal of increasing mobile field worker productivity through highly functional, reliable and secure solutions."
 
In contrast to most handhelds, the Toughbook CF-U1 operates on the full-function Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems, giving users unprecedented remote access to software applications in the field. The CF-U1 features a thumb-friendly and always-accessible backlit QWERTY keyboard as well.
