Abstract: In an era of cloud-native databases and Kubernetes clusters, why would anyone willingly install a database software released in 2012? This paper explores the “why” and the “how” of installing Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) 15.7—a legendary workhorse still running on Wall Street, in healthcare systems, and on airline reservation platforms.
