More than 100x faster than traditional databases, database technology processes live, fast data instantaneously with full ACID compliance

STOCKHOLM--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Starcounter today announced its patent pending VMDBMS technology designed to improve database performance. The VMDBMS is more than 100 times faster than traditional databases and 10 times faster than high performance databases, and integrates the Virtual Machine and the Database Management System. As data is physically stored only in one place, the VMDBMS eliminates costly data transfers between application and database as well as transformation between different data formats. This is possible as the application can access data in the database just as fast as its internal temporary data.

Ideal for highly transactional applications, including e-commerce and ERP, the VMDBMS delivers the scalability and flexibility necessary for large-scale real-time applications. As demand for applications using real-time data grows, enterprises need solutions that quickly, reliably and cost-effectively manage and update massive amounts of information. While distributed architectures promise to scale, they do not guarantee ACID compliance. Moreover, Starcounter’s technology eliminates the need to fragment information across multiple locations, and then piece it back together.

Due to its faster execution speed and simplified development model, Starcounter’s technology significantly reduces hardware and development costs. Because no glue code is needed, the complexity and development costs of the user’s application are greatly reduced. In addition, Starcounter’s design effectively eliminates the need to transfer data between application code and the database engine, making code easier to write and application execution much faster.

“A few years ago, I sought out a faster database, but after testing options that were currently available on the market, I was very disappointed. I knew I had to develop a better solution,” says Joachim Wester, founder of Starcounter. “Processing transactions instantaneously with full ACID compliance is a critical component for today’s enterprises. Current options are simply a band-aid for ailing technologies. The VMDBMS database technology brings us to the forefront of the NoSQL database industry.”

A technical whitepaper is now available for download online.
