Introducing SharkSQL
Next generation database for both centralized and distributed IT solutions
Background
The primary IT focus of the past 30+ years has been on recovering from the distributed server hardware deployment and management strategies of the 1980/90’s.
The IT designs of the next 30+ years will be on reducing server software licensing, management and support costs and complexities while increasing security and performance optimizations at all levels.
To meet these future requirements, next-gen IT designs will need to incorporate highly secure, scalable and easily managed databases that can be quickly designed, deployed and easily managed using best practices of past hybrid centralized and distributed IT designs.
SharkSQL not only significantly reduces database license costs, but also design and support complexity awareness requirements for developers, programmers and database administrators.
SharkSQL offers the following differentiators from other databases today-
- Simplified freeware license model. License to use is free. Simply download, install & run
- Subscription model is available for support
- EU based, high focus on data privacy, data protection and data security
- Security – optional packet level encryption vs. traditional session level (SSL) encryption with initial key using a quantum-mechanical eigenvalue equation – significantly reduces security / management concerns associated with 3rd party certificates
- Security – DB Admin proof audit logs, encryption enabled/disabled per table
- Simplified developer environment. Easy to install, configure, use and manage high availability and resilient distributed databases – even for new developers and database admins
- Very high performance (out of the box) compared to legacy databases. Reduces need for complex tuning processes of internal DB parameters
- Supports current MySQL, MariaDB Connectors & Interfaces
- True distributed DB engine with embedded two-phase commit (2PC) provides distributed database consistency. No complex external utilities or tools, no more “eventual” data consistency
- Multi-platform, single code base – Windows (X86-64), OpenVMS (X86-64, IA64, Alpha), Linux X86-64 (2026)
- Zero 3rd party add-ins that complicate licensing, upgrade compatibility & management CLI’s
- SQL standards – strict compliance and adherence to relational database ACID properties
