Sybase IQ analytics server was chosen to ensure rapid response to queries for train schedule planning and coordination. For China’s rail network this was an essential requirement due to high usage periods during the Chinese New Year and summer months, when millions travel across the country by train. Designed from the start as a data warehouse for analytics, Sybase IQ increases query performance up to 100 times faster than traditional data warehouse solutions. With the addition of Sybase Mirror Activator, the ticketing system will become even more secure, stable and reliable than the current implementation of Sybase ASE and its High Availability option.
Horace Chow, vice president of Sybase Asia Pacific and general manager of Sybase Greater China, said: Since 1996, the ticketing system of China’s railway has been operating smoothly using Sybase’s database management system. Furthering its Unwired Enterprise vision, Sybase continues to meet the needs of the Ministry of Railway for a comprehensive solution that delivers high ROI, outstanding performance and scalability in the future. The strength of this customer relationship demonstrates Sybase’s ongoing commitment to serving the Chinese market and growing with its customers.
