Executive Summary
A new wave in IT:
If your objective is to use IT to extend the competitiveness of the enterprise, there is a new weapon to be reckoned with. If you’re responsible for IT budgets or successful system performance, a new tool is redefining efficiency. Overall system development and deployment expense is reduced by more than 30% with typical project payback below 10 months.
The world of IT has begun its third major storage transition. The first moved us from punched paper to magnetic tape. The second moved from tape to disk. The next transition will move us from disk to memory.
Sixty-four bit addresses make it practical to deal with large datasets in the memory address space. Disk drive latency no longer needs to be the constraint in database speed. But to take full advantage of this revolution the chain of disk-induced compromises in current relational technology must be abandoned. Enter Ancelus.
Ancelus is the first major breakthrough in database management in 30 years. In typical real-world tests Ancelus demonstrates several orders of magnitude performance improvement over disk and memory based relational systems. The Ancelus performance advantage grows with increased size, complexity or data rates.
But speed is just the beginning of the Ancelus story. The unique data storage structure of Ancelus revolutionizes how applications are developed and how deployed systems are managed. Development time is compressed, hardware shrinks, the primary project failure modes are eliminated, and administrative downtime is history.
Ancelus eliminates the complex process of forcing many-dimensioned data networks into two dimensional tables. The relational table structure is replaced with the first direct implementation of threaded networks. In the process Ancelus reduces the life cycle costs of system development, deployment and support to unprecedented lows.
Of equal importance is the opportunity to take advantage of streaming analytics. In data warehousing and data mining it is now possible to insert the analytics engine directly into the data stream. A whole new class of real-time systems can now emerge, taking data analysis and actionable information from the shadows of historical review into the bright light of "now."
What it means:
What would you do with a database 10,000 faster?
You could cut hardware costs, support more users, deploy larger applications, or eliminate system response complaints. But you no longer need to live with a database that races slugs.
Ancelus has been exhaustively tested. In demanding production environments it has been proven to deliver faster and more reliable systems in less time on smaller hardware. User response delays are reduced from tens of seconds to milliseconds. Ancelus offers the first capability to operate 24x7xforever with no maintenance downtime required.
- - Hardware costs reduced by 50 to 80%
- - Development time reduced by 30 to 70%
- - Primary modes of deployment failure eliminated
- o Normalization failure eliminated
- o Scalability constraints reduced dramatically
- o Foreign key selection errors eliminated
- - Dataspace is typically reduced by 60 to 90%.
- - Administrative downtime eliminated
- - Extreme reliability
To understand the true significance of the Ancelus breakthrough, you need to see a benchmark test for yourself. Because of the advances of this system, it's inexpensive to set up and run a benchmark test using your system specification. Our patent-pending combination of speed, structure and scalability makes the discussion of "database response time" a quaint artifact of an earlier time.
After 30 years of dominance the sun is setting on relational database technology. Now is the time to see how easy it is to migrate to - and profit from - a system designed for the data needs of the 21st Century.
