Key InMem0r8 Features

InMem0r8 is a complete and minimalistic refresh of transactional database design that dispenses with legacy memory models and concurrency architectures. InMem0r8 is unique in that it is built from the ground up using proprietary and patent protected memory allocators that simultaneously allocate both main memory and backing storage in a single instruction call.

The end result is a database technology that is massively simpler, faster and more energy efficient than any other transactional database. By embracing industry proven algorithms and the true capabilities of modern hardware, it pushes everything possible to the limit, offering the world a genuinely modern alternative to the existing status quo.

The low latency performance of InMem0r8 stems from operating extremely close to the boundaries of maximal efficiency, which implicitly guarantees optimal energy draw, so the company mission isn’t just an exposition of deep tech, but also something of a moral imperative in order to put the product at the very heart of all new and existing systems that touch data.

Here are just a few of the advantages that InMem0r8 deployments enjoy:

• Cost. InMem0r8 Core is free in most instances, for databases up to 4GB. It can be used by employees, hobbyists, end users and professional developers for a wide range of applications including internal products and tools within commercial companies or organizations. The major restrictions are for databases over 4GB or is if it is sold either on its own or as part of a larger software product.


• Resilience. InMem0r8 Core allows multiple, up to the millisecond, ‘live’ copies of a database to be kept on multiple machines in real-time. A complete failure of a master node can be recovered and processing continued within seconds without data loss.


• Simpler. A typical application using InMem0r8 Cor Core e needs only 4 interface calls, which are ‘Delete()’, ‘FindKeysByTags()’, ‘Read()’ and ‘Write()’, in addition to calls to open and close the database and begin and end transactions. This simplicity means that developers can be up and running with a database instance in a matter of minutes, once the core principles of operation are understood.


• Performance. InMem0r8 based solutions often complete transactions in ‘microseconds’ not ‘milliseconds meaning that it’s not uncommon for it to be orders of magnitude faster than other database technologies.


• Security. InMem0r8 Core supports concurrent and multi-level security from unencrypted data all the way up to military grade security. As tags are stored adjoint to the data itself, it allows information to be selected and returned from the database without the need for decryption, meaning that key management issues can be safely deferred to the calling client.


• Set Operations. InMem0r8 supports complex set operations across an entire database, to allow the required information to be selected simply from tag information using simple expression such as ‘(((Employee | Customer) & (Completed)) ! (Returned))’) as an example.


• ACID Compliance. InMem0r8 Core is an ACID compliant transactional database. A double write mechanism guarantees that transactions will fully commit or roll-back in the event of error.


• Whole Database Searches. InMem0r8 Core allows queries to make use of reverse indices to achieve incredibly fast lookups across the entire database. Any information can be indexed at multiple levels such as: database wide, across multiple tables or within a single/group table.


• Zero Ongoing Data Maintenance. Indexes are created or added to at write time, meaning that all subsequent queries are constantly optimal without the need for ongoing data administration support as data volumes grow.


• Wildcards. InMem0r8 Core supports enhanced wildcard searches that return in milliseconds and can embrace many more wildcard permutations than are permissible in traditional SQL.
