SYBASE, SUN and BMMsoft BREAK GUINNESS' WORLD RECORD FOR WORLD'S LARGEST DATA WAREHOUSE Sybase IQ, Sun Hardware and Software, and BMMsoft Server Manage One Petabyte of Raw Data Holding Six Trillion Rows of Transactional Data DUBLIN, Calif. - May 14, 2008 - Sybase, Inc. (NYSE: SY), a leading provider of enterprise infrastructure, mobile software and mobile services, today announced that the Sybase IQ analytics server has set a new Guinness World Record' by powering the world's largest data warehouse on a Sun server. This accomplishment was achieved using Sybase IQ, BMMsoft Server and the Sun Microsystems Data Warehouse Reference Architecture, comprised of a Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 Server, three Sun StorageTek 6540 Arrays and the Solaris 10 Operating System. This winning combination enables more data to be stored in less space, searched and analyzed in less time, while consuming 91 percent less energy and generating less heat and carbon dioxide than conventional solutions. Powered by the category-leading column-oriented database Sybase IQ, the data warehouse is certified to support a record-breaking one petabyte of mixed relational and unstructured data-more than 34 times larger than the largest industry standard benchmark and twice the size of the largest commercial data warehouse known to date. In total, the data warehouse contains six trillion rows of transactional data and more than 185 million content-searchable documents, such as emails, reports, spreadsheets and other multimedia objects. Guinness World Records judge Danny Girton presided over the certificate ceremony in New York to validate the record and confirm that the achievement met the criteria set forth by the organization. "We applaud Sybase, Sun and BMMsoft for their entry into the Guinness Book of World Records for the World's Largest Data Warehouse," Girton said. "We congratulate everyone involved in this record-breaking achievement." Designed from the ground up as an analytics server, Sybase IQ produces its impressive results because of a unique architecture combining a column-oriented data structure with patented indexing and a scalable grid. Sybase IQ offers extraordinarily high performance at a lower cost than a traditional, row-oriented database. And, unlike traditional row-based data warehouses, the stored data in Sybase IQ is compressed by up to 70 percent of its input size, creating the most optimal and elegant analytics solutions. "The results of this benchmark show that Sybase IQ demonstrated its capability to handle real-world scenarios comparable to the transactions processed across the worldwide financial trading networks over multiple years," said Francois Raab, president, InfoSizing, the consulting firm that oversaw the benchmarking of the record. "Sybase IQ has proven its reliability in handling the volume of multimedia documents representative of the electronic communication between half a million financial traders." "This record truly demonstrates Sybase's vision to the future about what kinds of extreme analytics and volumes of data customers will be facing in the coming years," said Irfan Kahn, vice president and chief technology officer, Sybase. "Sybase IQ allows users to manage immense data stores and accelerates analytics processing up to 100 times faster than traditional solutions. It comes as no surprise that combining its power with BMMSoft server and the innovative Sun server and storage products would deliver an industry-leading, and now record-breaking, energy efficient data warehouse." For more information on Sybase IQ, please visit: http://www.sybase.com/products/datawarehousing/sybaseiq Our partner, BMMsoft, announced the publishing of an independent study by InfoSizing (www.sizing.com) certifying the BMMsoft ServerSM application, Sybase IQ analytics server, Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 server running the Solaris 10 Operating System (OS) and Sun StorageTekTM 6540 arrays, as the World's Largest Data Warehouse at Sun's Enterprise Technology Center (ETC) in Menlo Park The certification involved loading fully-indexed transactions, full-text searchable emails and documents in a Data Warehouse solution at the rate of 250 Billion transactions, 150 Million documents and 50 Million emails per day. The daily total was an impressive 30 TB of data. Due to the combined storage efficiency of the BMMSoft Server platform and the Sybase IQ analytics server, the test required only ~250TB of high-density disk storage or an 85% reduction in storage size, cost and power. Compare this result to conventional solutions that require over 1.5 PB of fast storage for similar performance. A 90% reduction in power usage represents an equal reduction in CO2 pollution and equates to over 30 Million pounds of CO2 saved over a 3-year life span of the system. The BMMsoft Server application and the Sybase IQ analytics server, with a combination of 6 trillion trading transactions, emails and documents show real-time performance with sub-second responses to standard queries ("pin-point" crosssearch of emails and transactions) and sub-5-second responses for complicated realtime analysis. Even very sophisticated trend-detection queries took only 45 seconds to finish. New emails and documents are ready for analysis in less than 3 seconds after arrival. The combination of real-time updates and instant query responses are critical for high transaction volume businesses of all types. How much more effective would your company be if you could access all the data within your organization? BMMsoft Server unlocks the 80% of corporate information that is hidden in unstructured data. With BMMsoft Server, you are able to cross correlate the information stored in the emails and documents with your transaction data. The BMMsoft Server software provides the ability to manage both structured and unstructured data within one database, enabling incremental business intelligence in the areas of CRM, eDiscovery, fraud or compliance never before possible. "BMMsoft platform, together with Sybase IQ's column-oriented analytics server architecture, Sun servers with the Solaris 10 OS, and Sun storage, offer a flexible and highly-scalable environment for enterprise analysis and use of both structured and unstructured data," said Anne MacFarland, Director of Data Strategies and Information Solutions at The Clipper Group, Inc. "The synergies between the components, and the comprehensive capabilities of the BMMsoft Server front end, provide a solution targeted at business intelligence that is more than the sum of its parts." SOL took an active part in this certification by giving support and monitoring throughout the process. We are proud to be a part of this achievement, because this is the breakthrough in the area of data warehousing. It took immense efforts of our team, but being a part of such an important event has the inestimable significance. You can read more about this event at BMMsoft's website (www.BMMsoft.com) and get a more complex insight into this fantastic result. July 2007: SOL's Partnership with BMMSoft, USA SOL has become the Gold Level Reseller Partner for BMMsoft from San Francisco, California, USA. This is a great opportunity for SOL, because of the BMMsoft recently release a new version of their product BMMsoft ServerSM. To learn more about BMMsoft ServerSM, see their website at www.bmmsoft.com Our new partner, BMMSoft, is a company with a clear vision of success. BMMSoft produces a solitary view of all company data (structured and unstructured) storing it in a unified data warehouse that protects, analyses, and manages the "Corporate Mind". By removing "classic" limitations between various data "islands," corporations can better understand themselves, their customers, their competitions, and their environment. BMMsoft ServerSM captures and stores structured data (i.e. SQL transactions) and unstructured data such as documents, emails, faxes, voicemails, video and more, for data protection, indexing, auto-classification, and cross-correlation analysis. This ability allows a company to make better, faster, more informed decisions. Additionally, BMMsoft Server doubles as a file system backup and hot-standby for the data, creating a "live archive".
