Altibase matches Oracle and other legacy DBMSs function for function.
Altibase provides richer sets of features and functionality and great reliability.
Since 1999, Altibase has served over 700 global enterprises including 22 Fortune Global 500 companies.
Altibase’s subscription fees are flexible and competitive.
Altibase’s 27 years’ accumulated know-how of dealing with over 8,000 mission-critical use cases provides peace of mind and accountability.
Altibase provides cutting-edge sharding.
Altibase is designed to supper-minimize the use of coordinators so that you can add as many servers as necessary without experiencing coordinator-related performance degradation in scaling out your systems.
It is easy and straightforward to deploy Altibase’s sharding as it does not require any changes to your existing applications if your systems are built on relational databases.
Altibase is a hybrid database.
Altibase combines an in-memory database and an on-disk database into a single product to achieve the speed of memory and the storage capacity of the disk.
Altibase’s hybrid architecture eliminates the need to purchase an in-memory database and an on-disk database separately, thus resulting in lower TCO.
Altibase’s in-memory capabilities provide significantly higher throughput than Oracle (100,000+ transactions per second) and low and predictable response times (microsecond scale).
Altibase has been deployed in over 6,000 extremely demanding use cases such as billing and authentication for mega telecom companies and other applications for finance and manufacturing companies with very high throughput requirements.
Since 1999, Altibase has competed neck and neck with Oracle and other legacy database vendors. The following case studies include related stories.
Billing and Order Support System – One of the World’s Largest Mobile Telecommunications Providers : replaced Oracle
Online Trading System – E*TRADE : switched from Oracle
Korea Workers’ Compensation & Welfare Service : switched from Sybase
