Customers Testing New Compatibility, Performance and Management Improvements

BURLINGAME, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ANTs software inc. (OTCBB:ANTS), a leader in compatible, high-performance SQL database management systems, today announced that beta testing of version 3.60 of its flagship ANTs Data Server (ADS) is now underway at several customer sites and is available for testing by others. This newest release includes compatibility enhancements to help make migration from legacy databases easier while offering improvements in performance and manageability to handle demanding applications, and is the result of the most significant software development effort in the company’s history.

The ANTs Data Server 3.60 expands its database compatibility with a significant number of new features, including support for the Oracle Call Interface (OCI) and expanded support for Oracle’s PL/SQL stored procedure language and PL/SQL Packages, as well as new extensions for Sybase and SQL Server. Performance gains are achieved through an improved high-speed data loader that is 400 percent faster than previous versions, and a new quality-of-service feature that enables administrators to prioritize users and queries to meet stringent response-time criteria and guarantee service levels. The new Information Schema enhances database management with comprehensive statistics on internal operations and performance characteristics, and can present this data in popular Oracle V$ systems management views. Other enhancements include incremental online backup and improved automated restore, as well as new and local country support using the IBM International Components for Unicode (ICU) library.

“The ANTs Data Server 3.60 incorporates significant enhancements to our core product offering, and this beta test phase represents a key milestone in its development,” said Joseph Kozak, president and CEO of ANTs Software. “Feedback from customers testing this new version has been very positive, and they are pleased with the performance, compatibility and manageability improvements we have made to help them handle the most demanding applications.”
