Description:
GT.M[tm] is a vetted, industrial strength, transaction processing application platform consisting of a database engine optimized for high TP throughput and a compiler for the M (aka MUMPS) programming language.

GT.M is the enterprise scale transaction processing database application development platform at the heart of FIS Profile™ integrated enterprise banking application. GT.M is bundled with Profile and is also available separately from Fidelity National Information Services as a commercial product.

GT.M, which stands for Greystone Technology M, is a vetted, industrial strength platform for developing high performance transaction processing database applications that must scale to the enterprise level.

GT.M includes all the functionality needed to implement world-class transaction-processing applications. As a database engine:

    * It supports full Atomic, Consistent, Isolated and Durable (ACID) transactions
    * It is substantially faster for transaction processing than traditional relational databases

There is a full suite of system administration capabilities, including functions such as online ("hot") backup. In fact, the GT.M hot backup directly creates a transaction-consistent snapshot of the database as of the start of the backup, without the need to "rollback" the backup from journal files. With traditional relational databases, for example, there is a need to roll the backup back to the desired state using the journal files.

GT.M has been in production since 1986. As the platform on which its VARs deliver applications, GT.M is licensed for use at hundreds of institutions worldwide, ranging from small community healthcare facilities and large teaching hospitals to some of the largest financial institutions in the world.

GT.M has unique functionality to facilitate the development of continuously available applications with logical dual site operation. Unlike other platforms, GT.M's functionality allows a suitably designed application to be available as it is upgraded, even when the upgrade involves a database schema change.

GT.M is at the heart of the largest core processing system that is live at any bank anywhere in the world. FIS Profile, which is built on GT.M, recently again set records for performance and scalability.
