IBM lanserer solidDB, en relasjonsdatabase som leverer ytelseskritiske data hele ti ganger raskere enn konvensjonelle databaser.
Vanligvis lagrer databaseteknologier data på maskinens harddisk. IBM solidDB har alltid dataene tilgjengelig i minnet. Det muliggjør den høye hastigheten. Databaseløsningen kan implementeres som cache i IBM DB2 data server eller Informix Dynamic Server (IDS). Den kan også fungere som en frittstående database som muliggjør rask tilgang fra diverse programmer basert på SQL.
solidDB-arkitekturen støtter titusenvis av transaksjoner per sekund med forutsigbare responstider som kan måles helt ned i millisekunder.
Introduksjonen av solidDB er en del av IBMs ”Information on Demand”-strategi. Programvaren
gir raske og pålitelige data til en lav kostnad. Virksomhetene kan håndtere informasjon i sanntid og ta raskere og bedre beslutninger.
Virksomheter innen billettformidling og reservasjonstjenester, webbutikker, telekommunikasjon og finansforetak vil ha stor nytte av solidDBs høye hastighet for å respondere raskt på henvendelser fra sine kunder.

IBM Adds Extreme Speed to Data Management Software Portfolio
THE HAGUE, Netherlands, 3 June, 2008: IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced availability of IBM solidDB, in-memory relational database software to deliver performance-critical data at extreme speeds -- up to 10 times faster than conventional database software.
Whereas conventional database technology stores data on computer hard disks, IBM solidDB keeps data in main memory at all times, making it an order of magnitude faster. solidDB can be deployed as a cache to IBM DB2 data server or Informix Dynamic Server (IDS), or as a standalone in-memory database to allow applications to quickly access performance-critical data using the familiar SQL programming language. The solidDB architecture can support tens of thousands of transactions per second with predictable response times measured in microseconds.
The introduction of IBM solidDB supports IBM’s global Information on Demand business strategy, which is allowing clients to rapidly use information to accelerate business growth by responding to changing demands in real-time, and enabling the rapid delivery of new business services at lower cost. IBM’s approach enables businesses to use technologies like solidDB to access, manage and deliver information more efficiently, as well as to capture and integrate information in real-time across their enterprises.
“Real-time information availability is becoming increasingly critical to our clients and solidDB answers the challenge with real-time performance and uninterrupted data access at a low cost,” Inhi Cho, vice president, IBM Data Management Marketing. “The addition of solidDB also allows IBM’s DB2 and IDS clients to deliver new services to their customers and gain real-time insight by maximizing their existing information management technology investments.”
solidDB’s extreme speed is a vital resource for clients in many industries, such as ticketing and reservation service providers, web retailers, telecommunications companies and capital market firms which require instant and reliable handling of dynamic business information. Data from DB2 or IDS can be cached in solidDB to support peak workloads experienced by such applications as web collaboration, on-line mobile phone charging and stock trading. This fast access to information can also provide web retailers with the ability to personalize their sites for targeted audiences and maximize up-selling and cross-selling opportunities.
IBM solidDB represents the first in-memory software technology to be integrated in the Information on Demand portfolio as part of the acquisition of Solid Information Technology.
IBM solidDB, solidDB Cache for IDS and solidDB Cache for DB2 will be available starting June 24.
