Imperial Technology, the leading manufacturer of solid state disk and intelligent cache systems, announced today that Cingular Wireless has selected Imperial's file cache accelerators to enable more efficient wireless text messaging for users of Cingular's Mobitex-based network.
Cingular installed Imperial's MegaRam(TM) accelerators to enhance its ability to process the millions of messages generated each day through Cingular's Mobitex-based Interactive Messaging PLUS service. The MegaRam accelerators are enabling Cingular to handle significantly more subscribers through its Interactive Messaging PLUS gateway server while maintaining high Quality of Service (QOS) levels.
"The telecommunications industry has as many applications for solid state storage as there are telecommunications companies," said Robert David, president and CEO of Imperial Technology. "Cingular needed a unique and novel approach to the I/O issue of quickly authenticating a user in order to maintain the high level of service the company is known for. The MegaRam accelerators help to speed these I/O transactions, which in turn helps to speed the processing of customers' interactive text messaging, enabling Cingular to meet their QOS objectives."
Imperial's MegaRam accelerators have become one of the newest ways for telecommunication companies and e-business to meet Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and quickly gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
By adding a MegaRam file cache accelerator to a storage subsystem, companies can often increase database performance 200-400% within hours, without purchasing faster servers or incurring higher CPU-based licensing fees.
MegaRam file cache accelerators are storage-centric architectural components where critical "hot files" are locked into a dedicated cache to ensure they are instantly available 100% of the time. In transaction-intensive database and OLTP applications, MegaRam accelerators quickly eliminate I/O bottlenecks and improve system throughput, thereby reducing response times to end-users.
For SAN and switched fabric environments, the latest MegaRam models offer multiple Fibre Channel ports for totally independent and redundant data paths, and SNMP capability for complete out-of-band management. MegaRam accelerators are also easily partitioned and managed to take advantage of SAN-based storage virtualization.
