The ANTs Data Server is a fully transactional, persistent relational database server, supporting ANSI SQL, ODBC and JDBC database standards. 'Transactional' means that SQL statements can be grouped into entities that are treated as atomic units. 'Persistent' means that changes made by committed transactions are guaranteed to be permanent, even if a failure occurs at a later time.
The ANTs Data Server is especially designed for use in high update volume or high contention situations with multiple database clients. “High update volume” means that there is a high rate of inserts/changes/deletes to one or more tables. “High contention” means that multiple clients often compete for overlapping or related data. “Multiple database clients” means that there are at least ten or more active connections to the database with ANTs demonstrating more scalability with more users. In such cases, the ANTs Data Server is significantly faster than other databases. ANTs is ideal for database of choice for applications where performance is important, or multiple client connections are making frequent changes to the data.
The ANTs Data Server currently runs on Windows, Linux (32-bit Pentium and 64 bit AMD Opteron or Intel Xeon64) and Solaris. 64-bit Windows on Opteron/Xeon64 will be available soon. Additional platforms are planned in the future.
