InterSystems Caché Enables Breakthroughs in Big Data and Analytics

InterSystems announced it has been positioned as a Challenger in the recently published "Gartner Magic Quadrant for Operational Database Management Systems," by analysts Donald Feinberg, Merv Adrian, and Nick Heudecker.

"We believe our recognition in Gartner's first Magic Quadrant on operational database management systems reflects our clients' appreciation of our advanced technologies that enable breakthroughs in Big Data processing and analysis, as well as rapid application development," said Paul Grabscheid, InterSystems Vice President of Strategic Planning.

"InterSystems has always been at the forefront of cutting-edge database technologies," said Robert Nagle, InterSystems Vice President of Software Development. "Caché can ingest and process an immense volume and variety of data at lightning speed. And embedded within Caché is a unique text analysis technology, called InterSystems iKnow, that analyzes unstructured data without requiring ontologies or dictionaries. We married that with our real-time analytics technology, called InterSystems DeepSee, making it possible to embed powerful analytic capability into transactional applications. With Caché, our clients can rapidly extract complex concepts and build cubes on all their data, both structured and unstructured."

Gartner defines the operational database management system (DBMS) market as "relational and nonrelational database management products that are suitable for a broad range of enterprise-level transactional applications, including purchased business applications such as enterprise resource planning, customer relationship management and customized transactional systems." In their report, Gartner stated "For this Magic Quadrant, we define operational DBMSs as systems that include support for new structures and data types, such as XML, text, audio, image and video content, in addition to traditional structures."
