Have You Heard About the Ancelus Algorithmic Database?

Organizations today are interested in deploying the correct database solution for each application use case. That means you will have to manage both relational and NoSQL database systems. But there is a database system that you may not have heard about that can deliver extremely fast access to your data. I am speaking of Ancelus Database from Time Compression Strategies Corporation (TCSC).

Benchmarks of Ancelus have delivered performance that is orders of magnitude faster than on a comparable relational database system. This means that some queries that run for hours or days on typical relational systems can run in microseconds on Ancelus.

To achieve such performance, Ancelus is built on a different model which TCSC refers to as an algorithmic database. It uses a patented approach to data storage that replaces pre-defined storage structures with an algorithm that figures out the best location to physically store the data based on efficiency of access to it. Ancelus also uses in-memory data access techniques which are also based on patented techniques. This combination of algorithmic data storage and in-memory data management allows Ancelus to achieve fast, consistent performance even for large and complex implementations.

Ancelus is ACID-compliant and works efficiently for both transactions and analytics, supporting HTAP environments. But Ancelus does not use SQL, instead data is typically accessed using an API. It also delivers on-line administration capability for DBAs with easy coding for application developers. Ancelus runs on Linux, UNIX, and Windows platforms.

So you might be able to reduce cost, speed up development, and improve operations using the Ancelus Database. Interested in learning more? Check out their web site. Or read the white paper from Bloor Research that calls Ancelus Database "(a) truly impressive product (that) deserves to be better known and adopted more widely."

And if you take a moment to learn more, share your thoughts with me here on Ancelus. It should be an interesting technology for those of you with complex applications requiring scalability and high performance.
