Specific characteristics

Speed, reliability and consistency are the reasons businesses choose FairComâ€™s c-treeACE multimodel-database management solution for mission-critical tasks. These attributes are at the core of the c-treeACE foundation that powers fast indexing technology for high-performance NoSQL and industry-standard SQL within the same application, over the same single-instance of data. This is why more than 40 members of the Fortune 100 trust c-treeACE technology for their database management.

Since a database is a long-term investment, c-treeACE is designed and built to evolve with applications as business needs and technologies change. Developers can easily configure their database to meet the routine and difficult challenges that are unique to their organizations. c-treeACE is highly configurable, with more than 500 parameters that allow tight calibration, enabling system administrators to maintain strict security and a delicate balance of performance vs. reliability unique to each business.

c-treeACE empowers developers to take full advantage of an immediately consistent ACID-compliant transaction engine, across any combination of more than 20 NoSQL and SQL APIs/drivers, all over a single instance of your data. This multimodel database ability provides simultaneous access to a single instance of data with the high degree of control and performance of a NoSQL database -- combined with ease of enterprise integration, web and mobile platforms through standards based on SQL APIs and drivers -- is one of many reasons leading global companies trust c-treeACE with their database needs.

Mission-critical systems require integration with multiple and diverse applications, programming languages, and operating systems. c-treeACE is available for more than 20 platforms, including real-time operating systems, and offers more than 20 APIs in a variety of development environments, both SQL and NoSQL. After deployment, c-treeACE requires low database administration to maintain a high level of performance with minimum resources, dramatically reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) while running these mission-critical systems at maximum capacity at all times.

The most current version, c-treeACE V11.5, has new features that significantly reduce downtime when changes are required. One such feature is Hot Alter Table, which enables application schema changes with little or no interruption to database operations, eliminating multi-hour file conversions.

High availability and disaster recovery (HA/DR) are easily accomplished through the c-treeACE Replication Management solution that provides near real-time replication through several topologies, including hub-spoke, chain replication, single and two-way replication. c-treeACE Replication operates from the transaction logs, and therefore requires minimum bandwidth, reducing latency to milliseconds.â€‹

One such install routinely has 500-plus concurrent connections, with more than 25,000 open files, and obtains transactions rate of more than 375,000 transactions per second, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year.

These valuable benefits are also reasons c-treeACE is used in a plethora of industries and government sectors: financial, healthcare, telecommunications, manufacturing automation, accounting, legal, dental, education, construction, aerospace, trucking, gaming, space exploration, oil and gas, energy, major league baseball, fraud detection, public safety and infrastructure management.
