ANTs DATA SERVER FREE EVALUATION VERSION OFFERED VIA WEB

ANTs software inc, a developer of software technology that enables high-performance data operations, announced recently that it has posted on its Web site an evaluation version of the ANTs Data Server for 64-bit Sun Sparc/Solaris. The ANTs Data Server is a complete relational database management system. It provides exceptional application performance by eliminating virtually all database locking -- while providing full transactional integrity. The Sun Solaris version joins the Windows2000 evaluation version already available on the Web site.

"The Sun Solaris platform is widely recognized for its enterprise-class features, including: scalability, reliability, and performance. I believe the ANTs Data Server, deployed on Sun's platform, offers customers tremendous price performance for the most demanding applications," said ANTs software inc CEO Frank Ruotolo.

The ANTs Data Server ("ADS") Solaris evaluation version includes a simple test application that demonstrates the ADS performance advantage. Since ADS is fully standards-compliant, user-written test applications can also be employed. Those who wish to download the ADS evaluation version should go to: www.antssoftware.com/technology/downloads/ADS_download.php3.

About The ANTs Data Server

The ANTs Data Server is a standards-compliant relational database that delivers dramatic performance improvements for high-volume, transaction-oriented applications constrained by database access contention problems. By working in complement with other databases in these performancecritical applications, the ANTs Data Server will help users realize significant cost savings and reduced infrastructure complexity. ADS currently runs on the Windows and Solaris platforms. Tests conducted by ANTs, using the widely accepted methodology developed by the Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC), demonstrate that ADS processed eleven times as many transactions-per-minute as a leading database server. Details of this test are published online at www.antssoftware.com/technology/tpccmethodbench1.php3.
