EIQ Server
is NOT federated database, NOT data warehousing, NOT enterprise search,
and NOT an Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) tool
EIQ Server
is NOT conventional technology
Background
WhamTech and its predecessors developed unique high
performance index and query processing technologies over the last
25 years as part of their own relational database management
system (RDBMS), called Thunderbolt. And, as the RDBMS is so fast,
WhamTech used it to develop unstructured text search technologies as part
of its search engine products for the Web, enterprise, and
specialized search, which by definition, operate on external
files, documents, including Web pages, and e-mail.
With EIQ Server, WhamTech brings the power of its
advanced index and structured query processing technology and
unstructured text search to other databases and data
sources.
EIQ Server Enables Radically Improved/Changed Processes (Not
Just Better Technology)
WhamTech’s EIQ Server
product is not conventional, as it takes a very different approach
to problems facing almost all large organizations:
How to share data and information in near real-time
without (a) creating a huge additional super-infrastructure, e.g.,
massive data warehousing, (b) overloading existing systems, e.g.,
federated database, and (c) losing the ability to execute
structured database queries, e.g., enterprise search.
EIQ Server technology
offers the best of the above three approaches without the
negatives associated with each of them.
EIQ Server not only enables data and information
sharing in and between organizations, but also “turbo charges”
existing databases and adds significant features such as complex
query processing, heuristic data mining, value indexes for
performance and aggregation, querying across and between
databases, files, documents and e-mail, and link analysis and
mapping (connecting seemingly disparate data and information).
EIQ Server is a highly flexible middleware product
that resides between applications and data sources. Business rules
can be applied within EIQ Server to enable the best combination of
data and information to be queried and passed back to
applications, providing true organization-wide data and
information sharing and integration.

in the application/data source architecture.
