At the very least, it's significantly less stupid than "XML acceleration". :-P
I'm thinking it's kinda a specialized object database for XML documents? Considering a lot of documents these days are ODF and MSOOXML, that might actually be an interesting technology.
- lrm242 17y agoMark Logic is more than legit, they have some very sexy stuff. They also power, to demonstrate their products foo, Mark Mail which is becoming one of the most widely used mail archive tools: www.markmail.org.
- johnm 17y agoThanks for the support. MarkMail is indeed built on top of the MarkLogic native XML database and it works very well. If anyone is interested, I already wrote up a bunch of my reactions to the article (good and bad) in tweets.
- johnm 17y agoThe MarkLogic server is a native XML database. It's designed and written from the ground up to do XML. That's why it's so much better/faster than the competition. Storage-wise, it's often the case that the MLS DB for a project is actually the same size or smaller than the original data even after you add all of the indexes, etc. Performance-wise, the MarkMail.org site is running a 4 node cluster. The cluster is totally managed by the ML server and is fully transactional across the cluster. Feature-wise, the ML server provides all of the underlying goodies for doing not only the various text searches but also the slick faceted search.
