FASTESTLOWEST COSTUNIVERSALLY COMPATIBLE DATABASE

The switch to Linux is saving millions. Now replicate these savings at the database level
Highlights
Cut operating expenses in half by substantially reducing database support (OPEX) Halve database capital equipment expenses (CAPEX) using the ANTs Data Server Higher system utilization mitigates the need to purchase incremental servers and thereby reduces CAPEX Experience higher system utilization and greater application throughput by doubling database application performance Migrate to a better, faster, and cheaper database without incurring high conversion costs Make the shift to the ANTs Data Server without costly and time consuming staff retraining The ANTs Data Server delivers truly impressive database performance at a substantially lower price than is available from any of the better known database vendors. Similar to the Linux revolution, ANTs represents a quantum leap for database price/performance and increases application throughput by reducing the price over 60%* and enhancing performance more than 200%* in enterprise IT run data centers. By using a phased building block approach your IT organization can implement ANTs comfortably without extraordinary effort.

Switching to ANTs will slash costs and double performance

No other database combines universal compatibility with six databases with such a low total cost of ownership to provide real database consolidation and significant improvements in the bottom line. ANTs offers out of the box support for stored procedures, triggers, functions, data types when you migrate from Oracle, SQL Server, Sybase, Informix, MySQL, and TimesTen databases. With the ANTs Data Server, conversion costs are significantly lower than open source databases and conversion time is reduced from months to weeks and even days. ANTs TCO that includes license, maintenance and conversion costs start at less than half the maintenance cost for Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, Informix, MySQL, or TimesTen. Plus these fees are reduced over time when conversion is finalized. Users running ANTs on their existing hardware report application throughput increases of at least 200%. Many report gains of 5 to 15 times over their previous solutions.

ANTs DATA SERVER FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS

Deployment Options
ANTs Data Server is the only high-performance database that allows concurrent application use in three operational modes and with no database application re-engineering needed Client-Server mode provides superior multi-user access, scalability, and fault tolerance Local (IPC) mode for faster application access to co-located data on the same server Embedded (in-memory) mode links directly with Java or C++ applications for the tightest thread control and lowest latency

Performance
Lock-free database engine Faster than in-memory databases Advanced multi-core and SMP support for Intel and SPARC processors Micro-threaded engine, non-preemptive tasks Compiled SQL Main-memory optimization with disk overflow Concurrent commutative operations Advanced connection management

Optimized Main Memory and Disk Storage

ANTs is memory optimized and maximizes processing of data in memory, but tables are not limited to memory size, allowing disk overflow when needed Transactions are durably (ACID) recorded to disk logs and available for reliable backup, failover, and recovery

Always-on Availability
Integrated hot-standby support with auto-failover eliminates disk arrays as a single point of failure Synchronous, optimized log-shipping to backup server delivers replication with no performance hit Automatic server failover with transparent recognition eliminates application downtime client

Connectivity
Directly links with your Java or C++ code for embedded operation Shared-memory IPC option for same server configurations Natively works with TCP/IP

Automatic recovery and re-synchronization eliminates time-consuming and error-prone operator intervention Hot replicas support disaster recovery and full use of the data across all machines in the SpeedCluster

Standards and Development Support

SQL-92 with significant extensions and ODBC 3.51 plus JDBC 2.x make easy application ports No need to artificially partition tables, freeing developers from having to write complex workarounds

Security
Standard support for SQL GRANT/REVOKE user privileges for fine-grained access control Access is limited to SQL with no back doors, closing a window of vulnerability that occurs with conventional in-memory engines Optional support for SSL between client and server increases network security

Database Management
ANTs is designed for always-on operation, with almost nothing to tune SNMP support simplifies integration with the enterprise system management framework Online backups and automated configurable checkpoints provides a high-performance point-in-time recovery mechanism High-performance architecture reduces complexity by avoiding artificial table partitioning, minimizing developer and DBA tasks Web-based management console provides health and performance dashboard system

Supported Platforms
Use up to 64GB RAM with 32-bit Intel and AMD processors; 1TB RAM on SPARC Windows 2000/2003/XP Server on Intels Pentium processor RedHat 2.4/3.0, Suse 2.4, and Fedora 2.6 Linux on Intels Pentium Processor Solaris 8/9/10 on Suns 64-bit SPARC v9
