Industry: Medical Equipment

The Challenge:


Recognizing the market need for managing very large amounts of subtly interrelated information, Ontology Works teamed with Objectivity/DB to create scalable high-performance knowledge servers for us in government, finance, drug discovery and other industries with mission-critical data demands.

The Objectivity/DB Solution:


Objectivity is the only database solution that offers us the scalability and performance we need to ensure the HPKS can address the sophisticated analytic queries of Terabyte-sized volumes of information

The resulting High Performance Knowledge Server™ is capable of managing large volumes of information with high model complexity and query performance. The High Performance Knowledge Server (HPKS) is designed to manage Terabyte-scale volumes of information using ontologies -- sophisticated, high-fidelity information models of an application domain. The HPKS allows large amounts of subtly interrelated information to be managed quickly and easily, which results in an ability to process sophisticated analytic queries that involve uncertainty, time, security, provenance and hypothesis management.

Objectivity/DB makes Ontology Works' innovative HPKS possible. With Objectivity/DB’s power under the hood, Ontology Works can lead the industry in delivering unmatched query performance, and information storage with scalability performance that was previously unattainable.

"Objectivity is the only database solution that offers us the scalability and performance we need to ensure the HPKS can address the sophisticated analytic queries of Terabyte-sized volumes of information," says Bill Andersen, chief scientist at Ontology Works, Inc. "Additionally we selected Objectivity because of their stature in the high performance database marketplace and the caliber of the technical and support personnel."
