TeraText Debuts Database Solution on HP Itanium-based Servers Running Linux
PALO ALTO, Calif., Dec. 9, 2002
HP
(NYSE:HPQ) and TeraText™ Solutions, a division of Science Applications
International Corporation, today announced that the TeraText Database
System (DBS) has been ported to HP servers running Linux using Intel® Itanium® processors.
"Based on customer demand for managing very large text databases and our alliance with HP,
we feel that our first Linux port should be to a platform that is both
optimized for high performance and is cost effective," said Marty
Gupta, general manager, TeraText Solutions. "This port provides
affordable solutions for enterprise customers using very large text
databases with document-centric applications that scale from small to
very large collections."
TeraText DBS is a combination high-performance text database and
search engine that provides the necessary functionality for storing,
indexing, retrieving and delivering documents or XML-based records
across an organization. With the ability to support multi-terabyte
document collections, TeraText DBS is in a unique class when it comes
to managing large text-based collections. The product simultaneously
can collect and make information available to the enterprise in real
time while scaling to support thousands of concurrent users.
"The planned introduction of TeraText DBS on HP
Itanium-based servers running Linux points to new possibilities in
providing cost-effective, high-bandwidth solutions for multi-terabyte
document collections," said Laura Larson, strategic opportunity
manager, HP Federal Division. "HP
servers improve price and performance in enterprise Linux and Windows
environments and provide government customers with a cost-effective
entry into a technology with good growth potential."
The HP Itanium-based servers that run Linux are the HP rx2600 and rx5670.
