Database Excelleration Systems Announces Full Support of Sybase System 11.SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 30, 1995--Database Excelleration Systems (DES), a leading provider of relational database relational database Database in which all data are represented in tabular form. The description of a particular entity is provided by the set of its attribute values, stored as one row or record of the table, called a tuple. acceleration products for client/server-based database applications, announced today its solid state disk-based database accelerators fully support and enhance the significant performance optimizations found in Sybase System 11. DES, a Sybase Open Solutions Partner, has an extensive Sybase customer base, including Merrill Lynch, TCI (Trustworthy Computing Initiative) An umbrella term from Microsoft for its efforts to improve security in Windows. TCI was announced in 2002 after viruses such as Code Red and Nimda had succeeded in attacking numerous Windows computers. , PaineWebber, US West, and A.C. Nielson. DES' Database Excellerators provide significant performance improvements to Sybase applications with very high transaction rates and/or are very query-intensive by greatly accelerating data access speeds and increasing throughput to and from the UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output subsystem. By moving key portions of the Sybase application -- temporary work areas, transactions log, or indices onto solid state Database Excellerators -- instead of a conventional disk subsystem -- DES customers using Sybase experience immediate and dramatic application performance gains. In addition, DES and Sybase have collaborated to further improve performance by tuning the interface between Sybase and the DES system, which will result in even further performance improvements for joint customers. "The performance optimizations introduced by Sybase today are very impressive, but it will only delay the eventual disk I/O bottleneck resulting from transaction and query intensive applications," said DES President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. Wade Tuma. "We are committed to providing Sybase System 11 users with the fastest and most reliable solid state-based database accelerators to dramatically improve system performance on the most demanding database applications."
