The Challenge
Medical Data Vision (MDV) develops management support software for hospitals and private health clinics throughout Japan. The MDV analyzer is an Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) service that collects and shares medical data from hospitals across Japan. The MDV analyzer aims to improve the quality of medical care by analyzing and sharing medical results with Pharmaceutical companies for epidemiological studies, market research and further drug development. MDV’s previous EBM required an upgrade due to slow performance. “Our previous application used another column type database and performance was taking up to 30 seconds for a report on 2 years of data,” said Hirai-san. “This was unacceptable, so over a 2 month period we evaluated 5 other high performance databases to see which offered the best performance.”

The Solution
Actian’s Vectorwise was the database chosen to power the MDV analyzer application, based on outstanding high performance and affordability. The solution was designed and implemented by Insight Technology for maximum query performance on commodity hardware. With Vectorwise, the new MDV analyzer is able to analyze more data in less time, and be deployed to more concurrent users. “We were very happy with the level of performance Vectorwise delivers. It meant we could give end users the performance they expect without having to spend significantly more on hardware,” explained Hirai-san. In the 3 months since launch, the MDV analyzer is already being used by new customers. MDV plan to double that before the end of the year.
