Hitachi and Kabira announce joint product development.Hitachi, Ltd. and Kabira Technologies, Inc. has announced an alliance to co-develop a Linux-based high performance, highly reliable, transaction processing system A Transaction Processing System (TPS) is a type of information system. TPSs collect, store, modify, and retrieve the transactions of an organization. A transaction is an event that generates or modifies data that is eventually stored in an information system. on Hitachi's integrated service platform 'BladeSymphony.' Through this collaboration, Hitachi and Kabira plan to deliver the world's first large data set, real-time processing Noun 1. real-time processing - data processing fast enough to keep up with an outside process real-time operation data processing - (computer science) a series of operations on data by a computer in order to retrieve or transform or classify information , mainframe class, mission critical system on Linux. The Hitachi and Kabira alliance builds on the escalating market growth of network services such as mobile payment, smart card, credit interchange and IP telephony The two-way transmission of voice over a packet-switched IP network, which is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite. The terms "IP telephony" and "voice over IP" (VoIP) are synonymous. . Increasing transaction volumes over high-speed networks require a high-speed, highly reliable open transaction platform. Businesses require rapid development, deployment and provisioning of new services to win in these new highly competitive markets. Under the terms of the agreement, the collaboration combines Hitachi's mission critical hardware platform expertise and Kabira's real-time transaction software expertise. The joint solution will be optimized for Hitachi's Itanium 2-based 8way scalable blade server A server architecture that houses multiple server modules ("blades") in a single chassis. It is widely used in datacenters to save space and improve system management. Either self-standing or rack mounted, the chassis provides the power supply, and each blade has its own CPU, memory and (BladeSymphony) supporting real-time transaction processing Updating the appropriate database records as soon as a transaction (order, payment, etc.) is entered into the computer. It may also imply that confirmations are sent at the same time. Transaction processing systems are the backbone of an organization because they update constantly. and non-stop high availability built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux (often abbreviated to RHEL) is a Linux distribution produced by Red Hat and targeted toward the commercial market, including mainframes. Red Hat commits to supporting each version of RHEL for 7 years after its release. 4. Increased transaction performance is achieved with the combination of Kabira's memory resident transaction processing architecture and the large memory capacity (256GB/chassis) and high-speed server blade interconnect architecture of Hitachi's 'BladeSymphony.' The joint offering supports both "scale-up" growth for large point systems and "scale-out" growth for large distributed systems. Hitachi's high reliability hardware is enhanced by Kabira's High Availability Component to provide fault tolerance and disaster recovery capability. Hitachi and Kabira will further co-develop industry specific components for markets demanding performance and high reliability. |
