Sybase IQ – Trusted Infrastructure – High Performance Database Servers
http://www.sybase.com
Since we are processing a million or more calls a day, many of our customers have 6 to 8 terabytes of data online that they want to run reports against. We use Sybase IQ to perform the complex queries to turn it into business intelligence. The Institute for Genomic Research, or TIGER, is the world leader in the study of microbial genetics. The things that we are doing would be absolutely impossible without computers. Weve got almost 1500 data bases and its very easy to keep all those databases up and running. Globe Telecom is one of the leading telecommunications provider in the Philippines. We are processing 200 million text messages every day, so we need to have an engine that is very reliable. Sybase provides the link between all the disparate systems that we use at the hospital. We use the Sybase Power Builder deck system to build the applications and provide a web base system across the hospital. Its a very high performance database. We know that if we query that database, we are going to get an answer back very quickly. We were at the presentation for Sybase IQ, and there were some pretty phenomenal statements made about performance. And, sure enough, the claims were achieved. We evaluated a number of products, and the Sybase products came out on top because of the robust nature of the system and the stability that is required for a mission critical system within the hospital. The transaction volumes shot up within our first few months of implementation. The volumes shot up by more than 100%, way beyond our projections. ASE was able to hold up to its promise of being a reliable and dependable database engine for us. The technology is perhaps the easiest part. Its changing the way people actually work. We are now no longer seen as a transactional department, we are seen more as a strategic department. Our scientists are very demanding. They need a database server that is very robust and very high performing, and with Sybase, I am able to give them that level of performance that they expect, that they demand. And, its a great feeling being able to do that for them.

Net Neutrality – PBS NOW Part 2/2
Is the wild west culture of the Internet about to become a thing of the past? Big business is staking its claim on the information superhighway, lobbying Congress for an exclusive faster lane, which consumers could end up paying for. This week on NOW we look at a major battle brewing in Washington D.C. over the future of the Internet.
We follow the story of Blip.tv, an ambitious video-streaming startup. They’re fighting for a corner of the Internet marketplace in the midst of a battle over so-called ‘net neutrality’ — the idea that all Internet content and websites are given the same access to audiences and customers.
If telecommunication giants have their way, companies like Blip.tv might be forced to compete in a marketplace wherein firms with large coffers can buy access to greater bandwidth and faster Internet speeds, leaving sites who can’t afford to pay in the slow lane.
Craig Aaron of Free Press, a media watchdog group, says big telecom companies have declared open season on ‘Net neutrality.’ He’s afraid these companies will dictate how we use the Internet.
“I think one of the beauties of the Internet is that it’s been open to views across the political spectrum. And if you hand the control of the information so that some can be preferred over others, you’re going to be handing that control to the big media companies that already control our television, airwaves, radio, you name it,” Aaron says.
For their part, telecom companies argue that a fast lane on the Internet for those willing to pay will allow them to make a return on their multibillion-dollar investment in broadband infrastructure. At present, companies such as Verizon and AT&T only charge for access to the Internet, but make virtually no money from content.
“It’s just, by the way, the same reason why we take 18 wheeler semi-trailers and make them pay more in federal highway taxes than someone who drives their family in a mini-van: because they are putting more load on the infrastructure and therefore should pay a higher rate,” says Mike McCurry, head of Hands Off the Internet.
His group, backed by a number of telecom companies, says that many web companies are making billions off the Internet but are not willing to pitch in to upgrade its infrastructure. The telecom companies have launched an aggressive, multi-million dollar advertising campaign against web giants such as Google and Amazon arguing “they don’t want to pay for anything.”
Those who support net neutrality — including a broad coalition of consumer groups, higher education organizations, special interests, and Internet companies — say the telecoms just want to increase their profits. They fear that the proposed two-tiered Internet would kill a democratic marketplace wherein small businesses compete on an equal footing with giants of commerce.
