www.sybase.com Today organizations are analyzing vast amounts of data, but most of them are in 100s of databytes of range. But going forward we see that the petabyte range is going to become quite commonplace and to be able to analyze vast amounts of data in the petabyte range you really need a cost effective and very efficient system to be able to do such a thing, and we wanted to showcase that today. SybaseIQ actually played a central role in this benchmark. We worked with their partners SunMicrosystems and BMM Soft to actually showcase this particular benchmark but, at the end of the day SybaseIQ was the primary depositary and allowed us its engine for showcasing benchmark and to be able to house this vast amount of data we needed a platform like SybaseIQ, a column based database architecture to be able to actually do this in a cost effective manner. So SyberbaseIQ at the end of the day played the crucial centralized role. SyberbaseIQ pays a very high return on an investment because of its ability to scale out and scale up very cost effectively. You can start out with a small system but scale out to support hundreds of thousands of users by simply adding notes to a shared disk grid architecture and each note being a very cost effective lennox box or windows box into the grid. And similarly because SyberbaseIQ is a column based architecture, it is able to compress very effectively. You could actually scale up the storage system by adding small discs to the storage …
