Meeting the Challenges of a Dynamic and Expanding Enterprise
| |
Today’s IT manager is faced with the reality of having to extend the life span of the organization’s software investment and hardware infrastructure while introducing new services and technologies that require ever greater performance. Meeting the requirements of a growing business can mean additional costly hardware and software purchases, and mergers, acquisitions and business consolidations often present the challenge of sharing mission-critical data across different technology platforms.

tableBASE High-Performance Technology to the Rescue
| |
tableBASE is a mainframe in-memory table-management server that complements and enhances the performance and throughput of your existing databases and the applications that use them. It is a proven way to manage risk, reduce costs, and respond quickly to changing customer needs, while processing more transactions in less time with fewer resources. tableBASE exploits IBM’s dataspace architecture, allowing individual tables to occupy up to two gigabytes (2 GB) of data in virtual memory. By sorting and manipulating table data in memory while using very fast search algorithms, tableBASE bypasses the I/O and CPU overhead associated with conventional database management systems and other similar technologies.
The immediate benefits of implementing tableBASE are radical reductions in CPU cycles and I/O operations, resulting in greater workload throughput. tableBASE enables you to do more with less, to extend the life of your current investment in hardware and software, and to meet your processing goals and target response times as business grows.

Using tableBASE in Your Environment
| |
tableBASE can be used to complement an existing database, or as a standalone table data management system, allowing you to access data at memory speeds from either source. By simply adding tableBASE to your database management system you can improve performance by 10 to 30% (see our benchmark results).
tableBASE integrates easily into an existing application software environment. It employs standard IBM mainframe application interface conventions to manage data in tableBASE tables. Along with its optional tablesONLINE component, tableBASE forms a complete table-driven application development environment. With its streamlined architecture, tableBASE helps companies develop high-performance business applications requiring minimal maintenance.

tableBASE at Work
|
- A leading U.S. financial institution supplements DB2 with tableBASE in many applications; those that rely heavily on looking up reference tables, that utilize temporary tables, and that summarize data have increased their applications’ overall performance by a factor of 10.
- A major credit card processing company uses tableBASE in their clearing and settlement application, which handles 100 million transactions a day. Tables composed of business logic and validation rules are used to guide a transaction through its processing logic at memory speed.
- A major insurance company uses tableBASE in virtually every policy management system, giving them the flexibility to easily modify business rules and respond quickly to change.
- tableBASE is imbedded into a large U.S. bank’s operating environment to allow it to produce integrated monthly bank statements for its customers, as well as to enable it to insert targeted marketing messages on those statements.
tableBASE wins high praise from our customers for its stability in the complex mainframe environment. It is rarely affected by new operating system releases and generally requires no modifications when moving to a new release of CICS or IMS.
