Oracle Announces General Availability of Oracle® TimesTen In-Memory Database 6.0
Delivers First Product Release Following Acquisition; Extends Acclaimed Database for Real-Time Data Management
Oracle today announced the general availability of Oracle® TimesTen In-Memory Database Release 6.0, marking the first product upgrade following the acquisition of TimesTen in June 2005. The release adds significant enhancements focused on major increases in caching performance and availability, larger in-memory databases and data caches, tighter integration with other Oracle products, and broader support of industry standards such as SQL and Java. With this new release, Oracle now boasts an end-to-end data management solution spanning real-time, embedded and front-office systems to large-scale enterprise databases and data warehouses.
To satisfy customer demand for a standards-based solution that helps ensure data-intensive applications are instantly responsive, highly scalable and continuously available, Oracle quickly moved to strengthen the integration of the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database as a real-time cache for Oracle data. Release 6.0 brings together the best of Oracle TimesTen and Oracle Database to provide customers with an integrated real-time caching and enterprise data management solution. Now, companies in the telecommunications, financial services, travel, defense, intelligence industries, as well as real-time enterprises in other industries with business intelligence and service-oriented architectures (SOA), can instantly access data from their most time-sensitive systems — when milliseconds are mission-critical.
“With the emergence of such developments as message-based business process automation (BPA) environments linking business functions in automated flows, applications are showing a growing requirement for high speed database management capabilities,” said Carl Olofson, Research Director for Information Management and Data Integration Software Research at IDC. “The rapid integration of the TimesTen products demonstrates Oracle’s commitment to meet the needs of time-critical applications in a broad and expanding set of industries.”
Key Enhancements Extend Support for High Performance Applications
The new release of Oracle TimesTen 6.0 includes a number of enhancements that help better manage events, transactions and data for ultra high-performance applications, including:
- Caching performance – Cache update throughput has increased five-fold, and cache load times have significantly improved
- Cache availability and resilience – Cache updates can now be replicated to provide protection against server failures, and caching remains operational even when the connection to the Oracle Database is lost, subsequently resynchronizing automatically when the connection is restored
- Tighter integration – Support for Oracle Database 10g (with TimesTen Cache Connect to Oracle option) and certification with Oracle Application Server 10g and other major J2EE application servers
- Expanded standards support – SQL and JDBC API additions, JMS support and Object/Relational mapping certification
- Large data stores – Faster loading, refresh, duplication and recovery of large data stores
“We believe there is broad applicability for standards-based, real-time data management solutions that are easily integrated into existing infrastructures and address the needs of numerous vertical markets, as well as SOA initiatives within the enterprise,” said Senior Vice President of Oracle, Jim Groff. “With the addition of Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database to Oracle’s world-class database product line, Oracle now offers customers an end-to-end data management solution second to none.”
About Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database
Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database is a memory-optimized relational database that empowers applications with the instant responsiveness and very high throughput required by today’s real-time enterprises and industries such as telecom, financial services and defense. Deployed in the application tier as a cache or embedded database, Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database operates on data stores that fit entirely in physical memory using standard SQL interfaces. The base product, Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database, is also available with the following two options:
- Replication – TimesTen to TimesTen: Enables real-time data replication between servers for high availability and load sharing. Data replication configurations can be active-standby or active-active, using asynchronous or synchronous transmission, with conflict detection and resolution and automatic resynchronization after a failed server is restored.
- Cache Connect to Oracle: Creates a real-time, updatable cache for Oracle data residing in the application tier. It offloads computing cycles from backend systems and enables remarkably responsive and scalable real-time applications. Cache Connect to Oracle loads a subset of Oracle data into TimesTen, propagates updates in both directions, automates pass through of SQL requests for non-cached data and automatically resynchronizes data after failures.
Availability and Pricing
The Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database product is generally available with prices ranging from $12,000-$24,000 per CPU, depending on the size of in-memory data store. Replication – TimesTen to TimesTen and Cache Connect to Oracle options are each available for $6,000-$12,000 per CPU, depending on in-memory data store size. The software is available for download. Terms, conditions, and restrictions apply.
