What is the competition for Pervasive DataRush?
We see few if any natural competitors out there. Obviously there are other players tackling the problem of massive data volumes with tools/solutions that employ high degrees of parallelism, but most are ill-suited to help Java developers find embeddable technology to vault over the ugly reality of concurrent programming and into the hyper-parallel future. A quick list of other approaches/players might include: 1) The commercial RDBMS vendors. There is frankly outstanding parallelism going on inside these products whose top engineers have been working on dataflow-based parallelism inside database engines for years, but who wants to drag a heavy database around, and be forced into back-breaking loads/unloads, just because you need parallelism? Pervasive DataRush is a better solution for many computer applications. 2) There is some interesting work going on around stream-based data “engines” that appears parallel-friendly, and relevant to certain vertical, data-intensive application needs
