AMD64 Multi-Core Computing Platforms and SolidDB Enable Consolidated Approach to Subscriber Databases and Related Applications

Overview

With solidDB and AMD64 Multi-Core Processors, system architects can consider a new, consolidated approach to subscriber databases and related applications. In this new approach, the applications are run in the same multi-core/multi-processor system, together with the database server. With the consolidated approach, benefits can include greater performance, higher processor utilization, and improved load balancing and lower administration costs. In the consolidated approach, applications communicate with the dataset via the high bandwidth and low-latency Direct Connect Architecture, to decrease external network traffic and improve efficiency. AMD Virtualization technology may further improve performance when virtualization is used to place applications and database in different virtual machines.
