13. vectorSTAR ® is a unique VECTOR Columnar Relational Database. Speed: 100x, 500x and up to 1,000x faster than traditional RDBMS.

14. vectorSTAR ® cost of ownership allows implementations at half and up to 1/10 of any other application. Price/Performance: 1,000x better

15. vectorSTAR ® has great flexibility: interactive SQL, sophisticated data types, zero passive footprint, web access, SAN. Simplicity: our technology leaps make things easier and developing or integrating applications is fast and natural.

16. vectorSTAR ® Architecture Full Columnar Model Array-Based Column Storage , vs. Set-based storage, thus avoiding the need for indexes to correlate them Memory-Mapped File I/O vs. Buffered File I/O (this is state of the art in HPC techniques and greatly increases performance and reliability) Multidimensional Vector Programming/Querying language that facilitates the natural application of parallel operations on huge arrays of data

17. vectorSTAR ® Usage Scenarios

18. vectorSTAR ® at its best high cardinality + light-record databases billions of records medium-cardinality + heavy-record databases dozens of terabytes, millions of documents and multimedia

19. vectorSTAR ® Highlights Designed from the ground-up as a fully 64-bit application for the x86-64 architecture (both Intel and AMD) Supports a close equivalent of the complete ANSI SQL2003 and ANSI SQL2008 functionality via Vector SQL Plus a significant subset of ANSI SQL92 via ANSI SQL APIs for HTTP, HTTPS, Java, .NET (C# & VisualBasic), C, and C++ programming languages Real-time, high-performance, easy-to-use, bi-directional link with Microsoft Excel

20. vectorSTAR ® Features Supports large variety of data types ( biometrics, images, video and sound ) - XML, PDF, IMAGES & VIDEO Format - FINGERPRINT & FACEPRINT. Supports read-only tables – protect sensitive data Supports encrypted tables – further protect sensitive data Extensive platform support Linux (Suse, Redhat, Ubuntu), Windows (XP64, Server2003, Server2008) Unix (FreeBSD, Mac OS/X) Supports 32-bit platforms for clients, small office servers, and mobile deployments ( Android support by the end of the year) Hot backups

21. vectorSTAR ® uniqueness Add/Remove columns at run time without stopping the engine Removing a column affects only apps using it Incremental renaming of columns Incremental SQL Shared result sets Biometric query integration Remote Query via UDP over Radio Frequency: l aptops and handhelds on police cars connect to data warehouse using their comm radio and PDA systems

22. vectorSTAR ® scalability Supersymmetric scales out with a rep/perf factor > 1 Superparallel I/O column parallel No specialized tuning is required to achieve high performance It is simple to deploy and use effectively

23. vectorSTAR ® speed means What does 1000x faster represents? 0.8 seconds vs 13 minutes 8 seconds vs 2 hours and half 3 hours vs 125 days! (that’s 4 months!) 18 hours vs 2 years!

34. Demo show what can be achieved with a solid quad-core 64bit pizza box with 32GB RAM (no more than US$4,000 if you shop carefully) POC - Proof of concept takes two-three weeks for simple POCs, about 2-3 months for complex ones free of charge a mirror of something that you already do but find problematic preferably with dozens or hundreds of millions of records and complex analytical joins, and back end calculations compare the results: cost + performance + ease of development Pilot Project vector-STAR data-mart paralleled with current infrastructure Eased into production – eliminates bottlenecks and further reduces risk
