Enterprise software and services company, Sybase, has officially globally released its next-generation analytics server, Sybase IQ 15.
In a global Webcast presentation, Sybase director of product marketing Lisa Hopkins said the company has found that business' needs for powerful analytics are not decreasing, but increasing, and the company has registered 200 new customers in 2008.
Hopkins said Sybase IQ 15 is perfectly positioned for the purposes of delivering dramatically faster, more accurate analysis and reporting to address the growing need to make well-informed business-critical decisions based on real-time data.
“Sybase IQ 15 is the most significant release for us, as it is the only analytical server that supplies faster analytical extracted from all users, and according to their terms, giving your business a competitive edge because BI is the enabler to competitiveness.”
Sybase IQ 15 is the fastest column-based technology architecture today without the need for expensive optimisations in hardware and deployments, Hopkins says. This results in more flexibility and manageability.
Estelle de Beer, practice manager for Sybase SA's BI Practice, says: “Sybase IQ 15 allows companies to extract analytical information at on-demand and real-time speeds from large volumes of operational data with ease. This new server processes massive data loads at a low cost of ownership, saving companies on time and money.
“It reduces raw or operational data, with super compressions, by 50%, making your traditional outlay smaller and again saving on costs and computing power,” de Beer adds. It really is designed for big data storage volumes, with a minimum of about 100GB, she adds.
The solution is not made for traditional transactional or OLTP services, and is focused on super-fast predictive analytics with operational data stored in a single place.
The company further announced that a small business version of the new release is also planned for this year, with a capacity of 250GB, using Quad-core processing and allowing for 10 simultaneous IP connections.
Sybase IQ 15 will be available from 31 March.
