小公司颠覆存储业大野心 冲击百亿美元数据库大巿场.pptxVIP

Name any enterprise application today, and its a pretty safe bet that its deployed on a relational database management system. Since the 1980s, RDBMS technology has been the go-to solution for storing and retrieving information about almost anything, from finances to widgets to people. Oracle (ORCL ), IBM (IBM), and Microsoft (MSFT) are among the companies leading the way; SAP and Teradata (TDC) are also competitors. 可以肯定的是，如今不管哪款企业级应用，一定都会用到关系型数 据库管理系统（RDBMS）。自从20世纪80年代以来，无论信息类型是关于金融、小插件，还是人员，RDBMS就一直是存储及恢复几乎所有类型信息的首选方案。甲骨文公司（Oracle）、IBM公司和微软公司（Microsoft）无疑是业界翘楚，SAP公司和天睿公司（Teradata）也是强劲的竞争者。 T hen big data came along. Newly exploding volumes of data made the limits of existing RDMBSes painfully clear. quot;Buyers now want, and expect, immed iate answers to questions that previously may have taken companies minutes, hours, days to answer,quot; said Bruce Cleveland, a general partner with InterWest Partners. 随后大数据横空出世。爆炸式增长的海量新数据使目前RDBMS的局限一目了然，也着实恼人。风投公司InterWest Partners普通合伙人布鲁斯o克利夫兰称：“以前企业可能花上几分钟、几小时、甚至好几天来回答客户的问题，但今天，客户希望立即马上就有答复。” In a consumer-facing business, a buyer may want to know, quot;Is it in stock?quot; In a B2B business, the buyer may want to know, quot;What is your best price?quot; And they want to know immediately. quot;With data volumes increasing, companies have had two poor options: Either live with sub-op timal performance or scale up their traditional databases using extremely expensive hardware,quot; Cleveland added. 在面向消费者的行业里，客户可能想了解“有现货吗？”而在B2B行业里 ，客户可能想知道“最优惠的价格是多少？”而且他们希望马上就能获得答案。对此克利夫兰补充称：“随着数据量的猛增，企业现在只有两个次优选择：要么维持欠佳的业绩，要么用极其昂贵的硬件‘升级’传统数据库。” Thats where Splice Machine comes in. Much the way IBM recently announced a quot;scale outquot; storage offering that allows large companies to scale capabilities without massive investments, so Spli ce Machine aims to do the same thing for large databases. Splice Machine正是抓住了这一契机。就像IBM公司最近宣布要“向外扩展”存储产品，让大公司无需巨额投资也能升级存储能力一样，Splice Machine也瞄准了大型数据库提 供类似服务。 The best of both worlds 两全其美的方案 An alter
