Oracle has released an update to the company’s application-tier in-memory database, Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database 11g Release 2, designed to run in the application tier to provide both rapid transaction response time and high throughput required by mission-critical applications.

The release incorporates performance and scalability improvements for real-time online transaction processing (OLTP) applications and introduces new functionality to support analytic applications with real-time in-memory data management. The new features include support for more concurrent users, higher volumes of requests, and more sessions.

Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database for Exalytics will also be available for Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine as an application-tier in-memory database cache. This new release enables Oracle Business Intelligence Foundation Suite to achieve up to 20x response-time improvement for speed-of-thought visualization and up to 5x more data to be stored in-memory with advanced columnar compression capabilities.

With this release, customers can:

  • Increase performance and scalability for real-time OLTP applications via parallel replication between Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database instances, parallel cache data synchronization with Oracle Database 11g, enhanced data access interfaces for applications, and improved query processing and optimization to boost response time and overall throughput

  • Use Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database to support analytic workloads through new SQL aggregation and analytic functions as well as optimization for complex query processing
