Altibase

Altibase provides superior performance in comparison to Oracle TimesTen and other in-memory DBMSs. Representative examples include 99.999% HA, horizontal and vertical scalability, hybrid DB technology and more. When compared against Oracle TimesTen, Altibase excels in overall performance and especially in complex queries, and its data durability in system failure situations is more stable. Altibase provides various communication channels (TCP/IP, SSL/TLS, Unix Domain Socket, IPC and IPC-DA) to optimize performance. Altibase's IPC-DA and Oracle TimesTen's DA are similar in that both allow applications to directly read and write data to shared memory, which minimizes memory access and maximizes access performance. However, Altibase's IPC-DA compares favorably to Oracle TimesTen's DA because the former is safer than the latter. With Altibase's IPC-DA, a client program accesses only a communication buffer, not data itself, so that it is not possible for the data to be exposed to corruption whereas Oracle TimesTen's DA accesses a database directly so that data in the database is always potentially exposed to corruption. Altibase has competed neck and neck particularly with Oracle TimesTen. The following case studies include related stories.
