Challenge and Solution:

The proposed High Performance Knowledge Server (HPKS) had big information demands: it was projected to have terabyte-scale volumes of data and very sophisticated queries. Managing the flow of information quickly and easily was critical for government, finance, drug discovery and other partners. The massive yet intricate needs of the HPKS were impossible to realize with traditional database systems, and any solution would have to be entirely scalable and reliable. Clearly, yesterday’s database solutions would not be adequate.

The Objectivity/DB Solution:

"Objectivity is the only database solution that offers us the scalability and performance we need," says Bill Andersen, chief scientist at Ontology Works, Inc. Harnessing the power of Objectivity/DB to find and describe the complex relationships between vast numbers of objects in near real-time, HPKS enables previously unheard-of analyses. "Additionally,” adds Andersen, “we selected Objectivity because of their stature in the high performance database marketplace and the caliber of the technical and support personnel."
