The Korean National Police Agency (KNPA) handles all of South Korea’s policing. The KNPA monitors, investigates and fights crime for over 50 million citizens. The KNPA has deployed Altibase’s In-Memory database to fortify its criminal investigations by leveraging the benefits of real-time data that is at the ready.

According to the United Nations, South Korea is one of the safest countries in the world while having the 15th largest GDP. In the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime’s “Global Study on Homicide,” South Korea has less than half of the “intentional” homicide rate as compared to the rest of the world with 2.8 intentional homicides per 100,000 inhabitants vs. the worldwide average of 6.9 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants. Additionally, the same study shows the United States with 4.8 per 100,000 inhabitants.

Since 1999, Altibase has proven its ability to provide high-performance, reliable, and scalable In-Memory database solutions with over 500 enterprise clients and thousands of deployments commercially as well as public sectors. It is through this maturity that the most discerning global organizations rely on Altibase for their mission-critical data management needs.

“Altibase is thrilled to be a vital part in preventing and solving crime for the KNPA. ALTIBASE HDB’s ™ intrinsic hybrid architecture combines the power of real-time speed with massive storage capacity and is the perfect solution for live fingerprints and palms that occur at the scene of the crime to cross reference with historical fingerprints and palms – all to hone in on suspects quickly and accurately. ” – Chris Chung, CEO of Altibase Inc.

According to the KNPA, it chose Altibase for its fingerprint and palm data management due to Altibase’s proven capability to join stability and speed in a single solution. Further, the KNPA indicated that forensic investigation in real-time is critical to swiftly narrow down suspects by utilizing fingerprint and palm data and analysis at the time of the crime.

“Fingerprints started out as ways to identify criminals, not in terms of evidence in court, but to tell Tom from Joe. When scientists found out that every person’s fingerprints were different, even identical twins, then prints became crime scene evidence.” – Tom Burr, Fingerprint Analyst

“As real-time forensic data increases the chances of criminal apprehension, I am especially pleased that the KNPA adopted ALTIBASE HDB™ after already replacing its Oracle database for other applications in recent years. The confidence that the KNPA has in Altibase is what motivates Altibase to do more each and every day to assure absolute data integrity, extreme performance and 100% uptime.” –Chris Chung, CEO of Altibase Inc.

For nearly 15 years, Altibase has cemented its position as the most battle-tested solution in the In-Memory database space by leveraging its rich sets of installations and focusing on only In-Memory computing. ALTIBASE HDB’s ™ In-Memory and On-Disk database resides in a single unified engine combining speed and storage in one flexible solution. Altibase has received numerous awards and recognitions from both government and IT leaders for its excellence in In-Memory database management software solutions, pioneering R&D and leadership in In-Memory Computing.

According to Reuters on August 22, 2013, the technology failure that halted trading on the NASDAQ for more than three hours this past Thursday brought the nation’s second largest exchange to its knees. The technical glitch further showcases how fragile the U.S. trading platforms are. It was the latest in a series of failures to disrupt increasingly complicated markets that rely on and are driven by spiraling data loads. The potential for a financial calamity is prompting the Securities and Exchange Commission to push for rules requiring executives to improve the reliability of their technology.

“These outages are absolutely going to continue,” said Neil MacDonald, a fellow at technology research firm Gartner. “There has been an explosion in data across all types of enterprises. The complexity of the systems created to support big data is beyond the understanding of a single person and they also fail in ways that are beyond the comprehension of a single person.”(The Guardian on August 23, 2013)

“As data management becomes increasingly complex, and in the wake of multiple outages, it is an absolute necessity for organizations to deploy mature, proven technologies that have stood the test of time. Human oversight alone cannot keep up with the explosion of data demands. Altibase can handle over 1.4 million transactions per second and no human can intercede at that speed. With the introduction of a litany of unproven and immature products, the real fear is that so many organizations are adopting nascent technologies.” –Chris Chung, CEO of Altibase Inc.

The NASDAQ outage came on the heels of a series of meltdowns at Amazon, Apple, Google and the New York Times. Amazon’s estimated 45 minute crash led to upwards of $5 million in losses according to VentureBeat on August 19, 2013. Google’s five minute outage earlier this month led the search giant to hundreds of thousands of dollars in ad revenue losses and up to 40% of decreased internet traffic during the episode according to CIO Today on August 19, 2013.

“Robust data management, high availability and fail-safe, non-stop operation are the pillars of today’s ecommerce, financial exchanges and industry’s core infrastructure. Altibase simply does not take short-cuts to achieve strict durability, extreme speed and zero-downtime. With over 15 years of pure dedication to In-Memory computing optimization, Altibase has proven itself as the most battle-tested, scalable, mission-critical solution in In-Memory database applications time and time again.” –Chris Chung, CEO of Altibase Inc.

A recent study by Forrester Research found that downtime costs of a leading security company exceeded 8 million dollars per hour. Further, 49 percent of the Fortune 500 experience at least 1.6 hours of downtime per week, which equates to 80 hours annually according to a Dunn & Bradstreet. National Archives & Records Administration in Washington cites that 93% of companies that lost their data center for 10 days or more due to a disaster filed for bankruptcy within one year of the disaster. Further, 50% of businesses that found themselves without data management for this same time period filed for bankruptcy almost immediately.

These outages underscore how tenuous the U.S. stock markets, retailers and core business architectures truly are. With almost $20 trillion dollars traded on over 50 stock exchanges and related electronic platforms, the domino effect of a faulty automated trade execution system can roil the global markets suddenly and without warning.

The impending damage to today’s business is not quantifiable if core systems fail. Altibase is wholly focused on coupling its unmatched expertise in In-Memory databases with the demands of seamless scalability for the geometric growth in data. Altibase has handled the load of quadrillions of transactions in finance, military and manufacturing since 1999, without issue and fortified by a zero failure rate.

The demand for mature, reliable and proven In-Memory Database solutions is witnessing exponential growth. However, with the rapid introduction of technologies such as NoSQL, cached solutions, and other variations, divisive confusion on the efficacy of each is equally pervasive.

“Altibase is thrilled to provide its software to students everywhere so that they are armed with the knowledge to navigate the complexities of cutting-edge database technologies for years to come.” – Chris Chung, CEO of Altibase Inc.

According to “Gartner’s Technology Trends for Information Infrastructure: Big Data, NoSQL and In-Memory Computing”, Gartner states “In-Memory Computing enables the organizations to develop applications that run advanced queries on large data sets or perform complex transactions faster compared to the techniques using conventional architectures. This emerging paradigm opens the unexplored opportunities for business innovation (e.g., real-time analysis of big data in motion) and cost reduction.”

“As Gartner has identified In-Memory Computing as a top ten technology trend for 2013 while including Altibase in its ‘Who’s Who in In-Memory DBMSs,’ Altibase recognizes the importance for universities and colleges to add these components to their core Computer Science and Technology curriculum.” – Chris Chung, CEO of Altibase Inc.

With the mounting demand of In-Memory Database solutions in today’s market, Altibase Inc. is offering a generous sponsorship to all universities and colleges so that the nation’s future engineers will be prepared to decipher the myths and misconceptions that surround the database market.

Samsung Selects ALTIBASE HDB™ for Samsung Apps store’s User Authentication system on Amazon AWS EC2 Cloud

Altibase has helped our company expand its app base and user satisfaction in a very short time period while eliminating much of our previous headaches. We are very pleased with the results. – Senior Engineer of Samsung Electronics

Greater New York City (PRWEB) July 15, 2013

Samsung Apps (i.e. iTunes, Google Play Store) ran on Oracle Coherence prior to its adoption of ALTIBASE HDB™. Samsung required stable, uninterrupted service for the growing popularity of its Galaxy smartphone series as well as its other marquis products. Oracle Coherence did not provide continuous stability and this undermined Samsung’s service. The Oracle Coherence based backend failed, causing Samsung’s global authentication service to stop for several hours.

Further, Samsung could not recover critical data after the Oracle Coherence crash because of irretrievable data loss.

Samsung chose ALTIBASE HDB™ on the Amazon EC2 AWS Cloud platform to provide a high performance, reliable and robust global authentication service for its fast-growing number of App users. In addition to Samsung’s high performance (Hot Data) needs, it needed a solution for storing large historical data (Cold Data).

Samsung Apps needed to run without interruption and with real-time speed while possessing the capacity for an abundance of storage and the ability to easily scale-out.

ALTIBASE HDB™ provided Samsung with the features of High Availability, ACID compliance, replication and active-active configuration to meet all of those needs. In addition, since ALTIBASE HDB™ comes with In-Memory and On-Disk hybrid architecture out-of-the-box and in a single unified engine, there is virtually no limit to handle multi-temperature data.

“Since ALTIBASE HDB™ has In-Memory Database and On-Disk Database in a single unified engine with a single interface, bidirectional movement of frequently used data and historical data is painless. Total cost of ownership (TCO) is significantly lower and is coupled with maximized flexibility. Use what you need, when you need it, in real-time.” – Chris Chung, CEO of Altibase, Inc.

“Altibase has helped our company expand its app base and user satisfaction in a very short time period while eliminating much of our previous headaches. We are very pleased with the results.” – Senior Engineer of Samsung Electronics.

Altibase has received numerous awards and recognitions from both government and IT leaders for excellence in database management software solutions, pioneering R&D and leadership in In-Memory computing.

“I am especially pleased to have had the privilege to enhance Samsung Apps with ALTIBASE HDB™, a solution that they can count on non-stop and without issue.” – Chris Chung, CEO of Altibase, Inc.

Growing demands of strategic data management is crucial to revenue growth, reduction in spend and sustained profitably. Success is defined by optimizing data management. ALTIBASE HDB™ In-Memory Database solutions are the single point solution for over 500 enterprise clients and thousands of deployments.
