TimesTen
TimesTen provides a family of real-time infrastructure software products designed for low latency, high-volume data, event and transaction management. Unlike conventional infrastructure software, TimesTen’s products are optimized for deployment within the application tier. They are used in networks, telecom services, operational support systems, contact centers, airline and reservation systems, and securities trading applications. They are also being used more broadly for mid-tier data management, for example in e-commerce applications and service-oriented architecture (SOA) infrastructures, because of their performance, low maintenance, flexibility, and reliability.
TimesTen is designed with the knowledge that data resides in main memory and can take more direct routes to data, reducing the length of the code path and simplifying algorithms and structure. (RDBMS designed for disks)
