Sybase IQ - Trusted Infrastructure - High Performance Database Servers

http://www.sybase.com
Since we are processing a million or more calls a day, many of our customers have 6 to 8 terabytes of data online that they want to run reports against. We use Sybase IQ to perform the complex queries to turn it into business intelligence. The Institute for Genomic Research, or TIGER, is the world leader in the study of microbial genetics. The things that we are doing would be absolutely impossible without computers. Weve got almost 1500 data bases and its very easy to keep all those databases up and running. Globe Telecom is one of the leading telecommunications provider in the Philippines. We are processing 200 million text messages every day, so we need to have an engine that is very reliable. Sybase provides the link between all the disparate systems that we use at the hospital. We use the Sybase Power Builder deck system to build the applications and provide a web base system across the hospital. Its a very high performance database. We know that if we query that database, we are going to get an answer back very quickly. We were at the presentation for Sybase IQ, and there were some pretty phenomenal statements made about performance. And, sure enough, the claims were achieved. We evaluated a number of products, and the Sybase products came out on top because of the robust nature of the system and the stability that is required for a mission critical system within the hospital. The transaction volumes shot up within our first few months of implementation. The volumes shot up by more than 100%, way beyond our projections. ASE was able to hold up to its promise of being a reliable and dependable database engine for us. The technology is perhaps the easiest part. Its changing the way people actually work. We are now no longer seen as a transactional department, we are seen more as a strategic department. Our scientists are very demanding. They need a database server that is very robust and very high performing, and with Sybase, I am able to give them that level of performance that they expect, that they demand. And, its a great feeling being able to do that for them.
