High-speed databases

Computerworld has an article about high-speed, in-memory databases. They talk about requiring < 500 ms access times and handling > 1000 messages/minue as reasons compaines switched over from RDBMes.

In addition to better performance, the in-memory solutions allowed users to use Excel to run analysises themselves. This empowerment opens up previously impossible scenarios, and reduces dependencies on other departments (ie replace custom datawarehousing with a memory db).

They also have a good summary of what's available in the marketplace. Among the list, compaines I didn't recognize were:

  1. Ants Software's Ants Data Server
  2. Applix's TM1
  3. Db4objects' db40
  4. Kx Systems' kdb+
  5. Progress Software's ObjectStore ODBMS
  6. Skyler Technology's Prime Processing
  7. Solid Information Technology's EmbeddedEngine and BoostEngine
  8. StreamBase Systems' StreamBase
  9. Vhayu Technologies' Velocity
