IN-MEMORY RELATIONAL DATABASE

10 times faster than conventional on-disk databases

Traditional Relational Database: ANSI SQL-92 compliant; No shortcuts for speed; No learning curve for DBAs; Simple application integration; Easy to find experts;
Faster than Cache: Entire database resides in memory; Engine designed and optimized for memory; High throughput; Low latency; Efficient indexing.

hdb_1

SUERIOR DEPLOYMENT FLEXIBILITY

Combines the benefits of in-memory speed and on-disk storage in a single relational database

Support for Varied Workloads: Real time access to time critical hot data; Access to historical data for audit or analytics; Complex transactions through integrated data; Easy bidirectional data movement between memory and disk tables; Joins between memory and disk tables
Flexible Deployment Mode: In-memory only; On-disk only; Hybrid (memory and disk tables)

SUPERIOR DEPLOYMENT FLEXIBILITY

PERSISTENT IN-MEMORY DATABASE

Full ACID support: Commits/Rollbacks for transactions; Multiversion Concurrency Control provides high throughput with consistency and isolation
Durability via transaction logs and checkpoint images
Multiple durability levels to balance between performance and persistence: Process level durability (Fastest option); OS level durability (Default option); Enduring HW power failure (Safest option)
