flexis technology – fast and powerful thanks to integrated in-memory databases (IMDB)
The rise of random access memory
In recent years the use of RAM instead of a hard drive for database management has become a true alternative. Ten years ago RAM was expensive and unattractive for the execution of complex processes due to slow processors, but today’s development status enables a profitable use especially for fast systems and IT applications as needed in the manufacturing industry.
High performance thanks to IMDB
flexis AG has been using in-memory databases in conceptual design of its base technology for a long time. Especially for complex processes which require many intermediate steps before final storage, differentiation is useful between long-term data stored on the hard drive and data, which is needed on a short term basis and is handled on a regular basis. Databases, which read data online and event-driven databases from order management, production, and logistics, come with an impressive performance increase. This is especially true for planning and controlling databases which, in flexis solutions, profit greatly from the used flexis Nukleon technology for IMDB.
IMDB – an integral part of flexis solutions
Wherever performance takes center stage, using in-memory databases makes sense. They enable inexpensive storage of big and complex data volumes with a significant increase in speed without loss of quality. flexis customers profit directly from these advantages because flexis solutions are based on in-memory databases where applicable and not only use the advantages of fast data access, but also the possibility to model complex structures in an optimal manner. Because of that, optimization runs in flexis solutions are faster and the calculation periods shorter. This shows especially with computationally intensive tasks like bill of material explosion for complex products or calculation of dates for complex production networks.
