in News, 2018 /How does Altibase compare to Oracle’s database buffer cache?Aug 23, 2018Occasionally, we are asked why Altibase outperforms Oracle since Oracle uses a buffer cache to improve performance. Some say that the buffer cache resides in memory, and so it should perform equivalent to an in-memory database.This is categorically false. While it is true that the buffer cache resides in memory and dramatically improves performance, it is absolutely not identical to an in-memory database. The buffer cache typically can only store a very small subset of data. Anytime a client requests data that does not currently exist in the buffer cache, it must fetch the data from the physical disk and load it into the buffer cache before it is read.This corresponding disk read dramatically reduces performance. In addition, this data caching is really only useful for reads. There is no real performance improvement when it comes to inserts, updates or deletes. In contrast, an in-memory database dramatically improves the total performance of the database regardless of the type of the SQL query made.Altibase is faster than Oracle buffer cache because Altibase accesses a record directly by an operating system providing native memory pointer, whereas Oracle accesses a record indirectly through a logical Row ID (RID). With an RID Oracle has to go through a buffer manager, a buffer page and a position of the record in the buffer page. The net result is much slower performance. Altibase vs. Oracle’s Database Buffer CacheItemAltibaseOracle Database Buffer Cache Architecture INSERTSpeedFasterSlowerUPDATESpeedFasterSlowerDELETESpeedFasterSlowerSELECTSpeedFasterSlowerData Access MethodDirect access by native memory pointerIndirect access by logical Row ID

The telco’s use case epitomizes Altibase’s compatibility with Oracle: Altibase can replace Oracle or can interoperate with Oracle when replacement of all Oracle databases is not feasible.Aug. 13. 2018The telco is the largest mobile service provider in Korea with 26 million subscribers.Before the telco chose to deploy Altibase, it had been adopting Oracle on a legacy mainframe-based IT infrastructure for its real time rating system. However, it identified the following limitations of its legacy DBMS:Altibase: High Performance Relational DBMSIts billing service suffered from major delays as the number of subscribers grew substantially.With growing demands on the legacy system, database-related TCO became progressively onerous.The company was unable to detect and shut off service when prepaid balances were depleted.The inability to accurately detect customer balances resulted in negative balances and uncollectible funds.The company tested various databases and eventually chose Altibase. Altibase was used as a front-end to Oracle, which was used for hosting historical data with a view to enhancing the performance and lowering database-related TCO. The results are:It has been able to precisely check and act on customer balances.It was enabled to process customer usage on a per-second basis.Revenue losses resulting from undetectable free usage and uncollected negative balances were eliminated.It has the ability to efficiently integrate billing services for subscribers using multiple services.Customers can have access to their balances in real time and without error.It replaced an aging and expensive mainframe-based legacy system with an open UNIX platform, which resulted in lower TCO.Most importantly, it was able to reduce its reliance on Oracle and to achieve higher performance with lower TCO.Altibase is a hybrid database which can be utilized in a hybrid, in-memory only or on-disk only mode.

Altibase Was Chosen Over Oracle TimesTen and SolidDBJul 23, 2018, 8:30am EDTNEW YORK, July 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — The telco is the third largest telecommunications provider in China with 250 million subscribers.Historically, the company suffered from payment defaults and operational deficiencies for its online charging system. Those problems manifested themselves in three core areas.1. Inability to effectively terminate service. The company was unable to identify and cut customer usage when prepaid balances were exhausted. Essentially, customers who chose to game the system would continue to talk for free until its systems “caught up.” The company’s legacy DBMS could not efficiently detect negative balances. Worse yet, losses shadowed increasing latency. The result was a vast amount of uncollectible receivables.2. Inability to reinstate timely service.Unfortunately, customers who inadvertently exhausted their balances and subsequently paid their overages suffered as well. Limitations in its legacy DBMS speed prevented swift reactivation of service to these loyal customers. The result was a catastrophic loss of consumer confidence, customer satisfaction and, ultimately, retention.3. Inability for customers to accurately check remaining balances. Since customers could not accurately check their current balances, they could not preemptively replenish their accounts. The balance information was stale, and loyal customers paid the price with defunct service.The company tested various database products including Oracle TimesTen, soildDB and Altibase. It chose Altibase in 2010. Since then, the company has adopted Altibase in consideration of performance, reliability and functionality all with the underpinnings of a complete solution.The results are:The company has the capacity to precisely check and act on balances.Its system latency was reduced, which corrected errors that some customers took advantage of.Outstanding balances, when paid, coincided with swift restoration of service.Customers can accurately check remaining balances, knowing when to reload funds.Customer satisfaction, loyalty, attraction and retention are maximized.Customer attrition is minimized.

A World Leading Steelmaker Chooses Altibase over Oracle and Lowers Database-Related TCO by over 60%

JNEW YORK, June 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — This June, Altibase completed installation of its in-memory/hybrid database for a blast furnace of one of the world’s biggest steel manufacturers. The company, headquartered in South Korea, is a multinational steel-making company and the world’s fourth-largest steelmaker.In late 2017, the company decided to upgrade its database that provided real-time monitoring and analysis of one of its blast furnaces. The company first considered Oracle for the job, but then rejected Oracle because its license and maintenance costs were too costly.The company then turned to Altibase. With nearly 20 years’ experience serving more than 600 enterprise clients, including those in the Fortune Global 500, Altibase offered performance and reliability comparable to Oracle at a fraction of the cost.In choosing Altibase, the company considered these five factors:1. Performance. It required a database that could handle over 100,000 transactions per second with response rates measured in microseconds. Altibase’s in-memory capabilities met this standard with ease.2. Hybrid Technology. With Altibase’s all-in-one hybrid technology, the company’s data could be stored and manipulated in main memory alone, on physical disk alone, or on a combination of both. As Altibase is a hybrid database, the company did not need to purchase a disk-resident database separately to store and manipulate historical and less frequently used (cold) data.3. Reliability. Altibase’s built-in replication features provided the company with peace of mind even in the unexpected failure of its master server.4. Speed of Installation. Altibase’s installation took only three months: two months for application development and one month for performance tuning. Most of its applications are built on relational databases. It eliminated the need for the company to make any radical architectural changes to existing applications. And, the company’s existing DBAs found that Altibase is easy to learn and adopt.5. Cost. By adopting Altibase, the company lowered database-related TCO by over 60%.Altibase chairman, Paul Nahm, says, “With the company’s successful adoption, Altibase has again demonstrated that you can have an enterprise grade database that provides reliable, comprehensive solutions for mission critical applications at a much lower TCO.”
