关于客户
North Side Inc. is a progressive MMO game developer located in Canada. They have been conducting R&D in natural language understanding since 2002, with an application in virtual crewmember training. The decision to unveil this technology through a videogame was made in 2007. The technology powering Bot Colony™ has applications that go beyond gaming: it holds the key for a radically different e-commerce experience, where a consumer will simply speak to his/ her computer to buy travel and banking products, seek information, or access customer support.
挑战
Bot Colony is a massive multiplayer game developed by North Side Inc., a progressive MMO game developer located in Canada. The game leverages breakthroughs in Natural Language Processing (NLP), which is extremely intensive in terms of CPU requirements. The player converses with the game’s characters in English to solve a mystery and conduct missions. The NLP component is extremely intensive in terms of its CPU requirements, requiring access to vast amounts of data for linguistic processing and reasoning. The system database contains both linguistic data and a large store of world knowledge, represented as formal axioms. North Side became interested in Versant Object Database when it ran into a programming bottleneck, consisting of serialization and deserialization of data with MySQL.
解决方案
Developers at Northside became interested in the Versant Object Database when they ran into a programming bottleneck, consisting of serialization and de-serialization of data with MySQL. They decided to explore Versant Object Database – and to bypass SQL. The NLP is an example of a complex, hierarchical data structure utilizing the Versant scalable database solution to solve the mission critical implementation and performance issues North Side was facing using MySQL.

Darwin Ecosystem: Accelerating discovery and insight through cutting-edge big data and cognitive technologies
Darwin Ecosystem was founded with a unique vision of harnessing chaos theory mathematics to uncover previously hidden connections in unstructured data. The company’s algorithms can look at all the data generated by any source (such as news, RSS feeds and Twitter), and analyze how a specific set of concepts within that data are evolving over time. This is particularly valuable in situations such as business and competitive intelligence, social research, brand monitoring, legal discovery, risk mitigation and even law enforcement. A common problem in these areas is that a regular web search will only turn up the all-time most popular answers to a given question – but what the expert researcher is actually interested in is the moment-tomoment evolution of the data available on that topic. Darwin’s algorithm is computationally intensive, and the sources of data it correlates can be vast. To bring its benefits to a larger commercial audience, Darwin needed to find a way to make it scale.

Delivering modern data protection with cloud scale backup from Cobalt Iron and IBM
Organizations are struggling to modernize their legacy data protection environments in the face of growing demands around new infrastructure, new applications, and budget consolidation. Virtualization and modern application development processes have significantly outgrown legacy backup architectures. In response, infrastructure teams have created multiple backup solution types to handle the varying SLAs (performance, scale, cost) required by their business sponsors. However, the sheer number and variety of solutions in this uncontrolled expansion creates huge amounts of work, threatening to overwhelm the IT team in many organizations. Today, developers may add new applications and virtual server instances by the hundreds per day without accounting for the restrictions of the existing backup infrastructure. They leverage the cloud for immediate compute and storage resources, yet rarely communicate succinctly with corporate IT to ensure that the appropriate data protection services are in place.
