In today’s fast-paced digital world, enterprises are continually looking to enhance their applications performance and scalability. One way to achieve this is by deploying the right database solution. Database technologies play a critical role in supporting these goals by managing and processing large volumes of data efficiently. One database technology that has been a game-changer is the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database (TimesTen).
TimesTen is a memory-optimized relational database that enables applications with instant responsiveness and high throughput. Its primary advantage is to significantly accelerate application performance while using standard SQL.
Large enterprises such as financial institutions, communication industries, travel and logistics industries, gaming, and others require sub-millisecond latency response times, high IOPS, and high throughput to remain competitive.
TimesTen enables applications to capture, store, use, and distribute information in real-time while preserving transactional integrity and continuous availability. Applications that incorporate TimesTen can process massive transaction volumes with instant responsiveness.
TimesTen can be deployed in the application as a cached database (TimesTen Cache), a stand-alone database (TimesTen Classic), or a distributed database (TimesTen Scaleout). Database high availability in TimesTen is achieved by using replication in active/standby or active/active configurations.
