SolidDB can support "tens of thousands of transactions per second with predictable response times," said Paola Lubet, director of product marketing and former VP of marketing for Solid Information Technology. In a telecommunications application, solidDB has achieved 140,000 transactions per second, she said.

"This is a low-latency, high-performance play," she said. In-memory databases are also used in e-commerce, financial services, ticketing, reservations, and online gaming applications as well as telecom, she said.

Three solidDB products will become available June 24, when pricing will be announced. They are the standalone IBM solidDB Release 6.1; solidDB Cache for DB2 6.1 and IBM solidDB Cache for Informix Dynamic Server 6.1.

A data storage engine produced by Solid Information Technology is not part of the 6.1 releases. It serves as a storage engine for the MySQL open source database system and has been released by IBM as an independent project located on the open source project hosting site, SourceForge.
