Amity sets up a Cache Research Lab

NEW DELHI: Amity has set up Cache Research Lab in Amity School of Computer Science (ASCS) comprising of eight machines and Windows 2000 server being provided by US-based database company InterSystems Corporations. Mtech India Pvt Ltd, which provides application development and systems management for the company's products, represents InterSystems in India.

InterSystems Corporation country manager for South Africa, Middle East & India Henry Adams inaugurated the lab. Faculty members of Amity Institutions have already been trained comprehensively on Cache.

Cache is a new generation of performance database technology known as post-relational, which combines an object database, high performance SQL, and powerful multidimensional data access — all of which can simultaneously access the same data. Cache has been bestowed to Amity for the benefit of the students.

According to Adams, "Cache is much more than a pure database technology. It includes an Application Server with advanced object programming capabilities, the ability to easily integrate with a wide variety of technologies, and an extremely high-performance run time environment with unique data caching technology."

Amity President RBEF Atul Chauhan said, "Today's transaction processing applications have requirements that outstrip the capabilities of relational technology — which must span large networks, service thousands of clients, and provide superb performance, Web compatibility, and simple operations at low cost"
