XPrime Database Accelerator
The XPrime Database Accelerator (XDA) is a revolutionary new product that finally solves the information retrieval bottleneck by implementing a high performance SQL ‘coprocessor’ for the database engine. The XDA system is a scalable, noninvasive, all-in-memory database that sits behind Microsoft® SQL Server™ and accelerates data retrieval by orders of magnitude (+10X)!

The XDA is a completely configurable, stackable solution designed to avoid costly hardware and software upgrades, while providing superior database performance for Microsoft® SQL Server™-based applications.


XDA Features
  • Integrated Microsoft® SQL Server™ solution through Enterprise Manager and Query Analyzer
  • Completely Transparent to existing applications
  • All-in-memory Database appliance that is stackable from 1 to 256 nodes
  • Scalable from 4 GB to 1 TB of data and up to 256 nodes with 512 Intel® XEON™ Processors
  • No risk to Data Integrity – the XDA is fully coherent and transactionally consistent with the Microsoft® SQL Server™ database
  • Complex SQL Coprocessor designed to accelerate multi-table join operations against large data sets
  • Purpose-built Hardware platform combines HPC networking with patent-pending SQL handling and data partitioning techniques for maximum performance
  • Near Zero Training required for the DBA, end users, or application developers
  • Plug ‘n Play installation - configure and deploy in under an hour

Performance Solutions

The following are just a few examples of the areas in which the XPrime Database Accelerator makes immediate performance improvements.

Problem: Applications performing poorly?
Solution: Delegate the application’s database to the XDA system.

The delegation process loads the tables onto the XDA and sets up replication triggers that keep the local Microsoft SQL Server and the XDA system in a coherent state. Once the application’s tables have been delegated, the application’s transactions are processed natively on the XDA system without using SQL server CPU resources.

Problem: Long running reports?
Solution: Replace your reporting server with an XDA system.

Reports that used to require frequent reads from disk now run against an all-in-memory copy of that data. Whether you are executing complex multi-table joins, or need to summarize information stored in very large tables, the SQL used for these reports requires no modification and is processed natively on the XDA system. Also, batch updates from the production system are eliminated since the XDA system maintains transactional awareness with the underlying database.

Problem: Website slow while serving up content from a database?
Solution: Place frequently referenced data on the XDA system.

Not only does the XPrime Database Accelerator architecture provide instant access to your data through memory cache, but also scales quickly and easily to manage growing and/or peak business operations. The XDA system can be deployed across your under-performing load-balanced SQL Server farm, or to a bogged-down SQL Server fail-over cluster. Lightning fast, easily scalable, highly flexible – the XPrime Database Accelerator is the answer to your web site performance needs.
