Oracle Intros In-Memory Cache for 11g
REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., April 8 -- Oracle today announced the availability of Oracle In-Memory Database Cache, a new option for Oracle Database Enterprise Edition.
Based on the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database, the new option delivers a real-time, dynamic, updatable cache for frequently accessed data in the Oracle Database. By caching performance-critical subsets of an Oracle Database in main memory in the application tier, the software dramatically reduces application response times and increases throughput by relying on memory-optimized algorithms and avoiding communication delays between computers and processes.
For performance-critical applications in industries such as communications, financial services and defense, the Oracle In-Memory Database Cache option delivers application response times in the microseconds by bringing the frequently accessed data closer to the application, and by executing SQL requests in the TimesTen In-Memory Database.
The new Oracle In-Memory Database Cache option is compatible and integrated with Oracle Database Enterprise Edition, including Oracle Real Application Clusters, and also supports Oracle Enterprise Manager, Oracle SQL Developer, and components of Oracle Fusion Middleware such as Oracle Application Server, Oracle JDeveloper and Oracle TopLink.
"Oracle Database customers can expect to benefit from the increased performance and throughput of real-time applications with the use of the Oracle In-Memory Database Cache," said William Hardie, vice president of database product marketing at Oracle. "This new option is well integrated with the Oracle Database and will help Oracle Database customers meet their extreme application performance needs as well as reduce development time."
Oracle Database is the only database designed for grid computing. With more than 400 new features, 36,000 person-months of development, and 15 million test hours, Oracle Database 11g is making the management of enterprise information easier than ever, enabling customers to know more about their business and innovate more quickly. Oracle Database 11g delivers superior performance, scalability, availability, security and ease of management on a low-cost grid of industry standard storage and servers.
