Altibase System Properties

Altibase is an enterprise grade open source DBMS. It allows for high performance and high scalability. It is compatible and interoperable with such legacy relational DBMSs as Oracle, MS and IBM.

Features:

• Provides peace of mind and accountability through 20 years’ experience

• Provides extremely high performance through its world-leading in-memory capabilities

• Provides hybrid DB architecture which combines an in-memory database and a disk-resident database in a single unified engine

• Allows you to scale out effectively and cost-efficiently through its cutting-edge sharding technology

• Provides an easy-to-use and straightforward tool for migration between relational DBMSs

Since 1999, Altibase has pioneered the in-memory database industry. Altibase has over 600 global enterprise clients including 8 Fortune Global 500 companies. In 2005, Altibase was the world’s first database vendor to develop and commercialize a hybrid database. 

Altibase is one of the very few relational database vendors who provide sharding technologies. Its cutting-edge sharding is designed to super-minimize the use of coordinators so that it allows for linear performance enhancement with almost no coordinator-related bottlenecks no matter how many servers are added.

Since its inception, Altibase has been renowned for its in-memory capabilities. Altibase has competed neck to neck with Oracle TimesTen in the in-memory database space. Altibase has been deployed for over 6000 use cases that demand hundreds of thousands of transactions per second with response rates measured in microseconds. 

Altibase is a hybrid database. Through its hybrid architecture, Altibase enables its customers to eliminates the need to purchase an in-memory database and a disk-resident database separately. 

Need more speed? Store the data in memory and enjoy an order of magnitude performance benefits. Have huge amounts of rarely accessed historical data? Store the data on disk and enjoy the low cost and economical storage scalability of traditional hard disks. 

Altibase is one of the only very few relational open source databases that provide sharding. Having served many mega telcos with hundreds of millions of subscribers, Altibase has naturally been requested to develop a scale-out technology as a means to cut down the costs associated with an ever-increasing data size in this age of big data. A key advantage of Altibase’s sharding is that it does not require any changes to existing applications in order to implement Altibase if your systems are built on relational databases. Consequently, existing DBAs will find it easy to learn, adopt and administer Altibase when they opt to scale out their systems with Altibase.

Altibase is a relational DBMS and matches Oracle function for function except that Altibase is open source. Altibase is one of a very small subset of database vendors that can provide time- and battle-tested enterprise grade DBMS software at a significantly lower than legacy DBMS vendors such as Oracle, Microsoft and IBM.

Altibase has been deployed for over 6000 mission-critical use cases that demand hundreds of thousands of transactions per second with response rates measured in microseconds. Moreover, Altibase’s hybrid DB architecture allows for not only high performance data processing in main memory but vast storage capabilities of physical disk, thus significantly lowering TCO.

No License Cost

• Altibase is an open source DBMS which includes its sharding

Subscription Fees

• Subscription fees are lower than all mainstream DBMS providers

• Subscription fees can cater to your IT budget according to your specific DB needs and requirements so that you can minimize or eliminate unnecessary expenditures

Hardware Costs

• Altibase with its in-memory capabilities outperforms disk-resident databases on identical hardware, potentially mitigating the need to add or upgrade server infrastructure.

• Altibase has less CPU utilization than most legacy databases, freeing up additional resources for other “useful” works.

Implementation Costs

• Altibase is relational and SQL-compliant, greatly simplifying migrations.

• In some cases, migration is as simple as swapping out a JDBC connection string.

Altibase provides Migration Center, a free utility that can automatically migrate data, schemas and stored procedures from legacy databases to Altibase.
