A Highly Scalable Solution for Demanding Applications The High Performance Knowledge Server (HPKS) is designed to manage Terabyte-scale volumes of information. The Ontology Works' HPKS employs ontologies - sophisticated, high fidelity high fidelity n. The electronic reproduction of sound, especially from broadcast or recorded sources, with minimal distortion. high information models of an application domain. The HPKS provides the ability to process sophisticated analytic queries involving uncertainty, time, security, provenance prov·e·nance n. 1. Place of origin; derivation. 2.

This allows large amounts of subtly interrelated information to be managed quickly and easily with the HPKS, an important capability for government, finance, drug discovery and many other demanding applications. Objectivity Delivers Scalability and Performance Ontology Works' HPKS leverages Objectivity/DB to uniquely deliver scalable information storage and query performance to a high-fidelity information model environment. Objectivity/DB serves as the repository for the HPKS providing unlimited scalability and performance to solve the most demanding analytical informational management problems. Objectivity/DB enables the HPKS to support sophisticated scalable applications that until now were impossible to realize with traditional 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. systems. Application Development for the HPKS Software architects can develop applications on Ontology Works' current Knowledge Server(TM), the entry-level version of the product, and directly migrate to the HPKS for unlimited scalability and performance in near real-time when the Ontology Works HPKS product becomes generally available later this year. Strategic Partnership Benefits "Objectivity is the only database solution that offers us the scalability and performance we need to ensure the HPKS can address the sophisticated analytic queries of Terabyte-sized volumes of information," according to Bill Andersen
