Oracle has teamed up with Advanced Micro Devices and Sun Microsystems to launch a new initiative aimed at increasing developer support for their products.

The three companies today announced they will invest US$30 million in a partnership drive targeted at independent software vendors (ISVs) in the ASEAN region.

These investments, which include sponsorship of products and services, will reduce the time and costs for ISVs to certify their applications on Oracle's range of software and Sun's Opteron-based hardware, the firms claimed.

Specifically, Oracle, Sun and AMD will conduct a series of seminars and technical workshops across the five participating countries--Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand--in a bid get more ISVs into their fold.

During these sessions, the trio will provide complimentary software, servers and workstations, as well as technical assistance for ISVs to test their application’s compatibility with Oracle products that run on Red Hat's Linux server operating system.

Successful ISVs will also enjoy marketing perks, such as participation in joint exhibitions around the region and publicity in product catalogues, the three firms said.
