GENTIA'S K.WIZ TECHNOLOGY PROVES VALUE
OF JAVA DATA MINING
K.wiz Solutions, Inc., a subsidiary of Gentia Software, has announced that the launch of Sun Microsystems, Inc.'s HotSpot Virtual Machine (VM) will enable K.wiz Solutions' data mining software to serve as the basis for mission-critical applications. HotSpot VM offers developers enhanced Java performance capabilities, including dramatic speed improvements, proven reliability and stability.
K.wiz -- a fully integrated knowledge discovery solution -- enables organizations to better understand business and so predict the future. It achieves this by automatically searching through huge amounts of data, looking for hidden patterns of events and presenting clear, graphically formatted business results. And, unlike traditional knowledge discovery solutions, K.wiz is Web deployable.
"The K.wiz team of consultants carried out extensive benchmark tests on the HotSpot VM," said Tim Jones, chief technology officer at K.wiz Solutions, Inc. "The results have provided us with concrete proof of huge improvements available to those delving into the area of Java data mining. K.wiz customers are focused on enterprise analytical solutions, where millions of records often need to be processed in seconds. This unique technology presents a perfect platform, especially for e-commerce applications where ease of deployment is essential."
Multi-dimensional databases are effective in providing summaries of data, sufficient for users who are clear on analysis needs and capable of taking on time-intensive tasks. K.wiz, on the other hand, can independently analyze large quantities of data and automatically highlight key trends. K.wiz components offer data transformation, visualization and discovery algorithms that deliver complementary value-added analytical capabilities to client/server and Internet-deployed applications. With unmatched scalability, automation and deployment capabilities, K.wiz's unique Java-based server technology and open architecture make it especially appealing to today's growing corporations looking for enterprise data mining capabilities across diverse and distributed computing environments.
"K.wiz Solutions recognizes the real business value that Java platforms hold for enterprises," said Jon Kannegaard, vice president and general manager of the Java Platform at Sun Microsystems Java Software. "We are delighted to see the company benefit from the significant performance improvements that HotSpot VM demonstrates for enterprise deployed, server-side Java applications."
