vFabric SQLFire

VMware vFabric™ SQLFire is a memory-optimised distributed SQL database delivering dynamic scalability and high performance for data-intensive modern applications. The memory-optimised architecture of vFabric SQLFire minimises time spent waiting for disk access, the main performance bottleneck in traditional databases. vFabric SQLFire achieves dramatic scaling by pooling memory, CPU and network bandwidth across a cluster of machines and can manage data across geographies. vFabric SQLFire provides developers with the well-known SQL interface and tools. By incorporating an efficient SQL query engine and supporting standards such as SQL, JDBC and ADO.NET, applications designed for traditional databases can easily migrate to vFabric SQLFire.

Key Benefits

• Reduced latency for SQL applications - Memorybased data management accelerates application performance, eliminating many disk and network latencies
• Standard SQL syntax and tools - Database application developers can easily incorporate a memory-oriented approach to data management with a familiar and standard SQL interface
• Easy scaling to meet the highest demands - Data easily scales out across servers to meet changes in loads or resource availability
• High availability and disaster recovery - Ensures continuous availability within or across data centres and supports disaster recovery with granularity to the level of individual tables
• Ideal for high transaction rates - SQLFire is ideal for applications such as large transaction-oriented Web sites where disk and network overheads
  choke delivery of many small data items
• Memory-oriented and cloud-optimised - Use of nonproprietary hardware offers an economical way to achieve high database performance at
  extremely large scale

Key Features

• Low latency - Memory-based data management maintains consistently high application performance by eliminating lookup, read/write, and network round-trip latencies
• Extreme write performance - Memory-speed write performance is ideal for large-scale databases with high transaction volumes and demanding service-level agreements
• Simplified scale-out and scale-back - The product repartitions, replicates and balances data across independent nodes to accommodate shifting loads or new resources
• Standard SQL interface - vFabric SQLFire enables skilled database application developers to easily incorporate a memoryoriented database into their application environment while leveraging their knowledge of SQL
• Flexible HA and DR options - Continuous, high availability (HA) is ensured within or across data centres. Disk writes can be partial or full, synchronous or asynchronous to meet disaster recovery (DR) or regulatory requirements
• "Shared nothing" architecture - Designed to prevent any single point of failure, vFabric SQLFire maintains data availability when servers go offline unexpectedly
