Commerce (B2B and B2C) software servers and tools are used to build systems that sell, service, market and buy products to customers and businesses through the Web and channel partners. These servers build systems for enterprises to automate their Web sales process and customer experience, gain insight into customer behavior and preferences, improve visibility into channel activities and performance, and improve customer satisfaction and loyalty. This market segment is made up of servers and tools that are used to build and sell these solutions, not the applications themselves.

Combined heat and power (CHP) is a specific form of distributed generation (DG) that refers to the placement of electric-power-generating units at or near customer facilities to supply on-site energy needs. CHP enhances DG’s advantages by the simultaneous production of thermal and power output, thus increasing overall efficiency. Once available only to large commercial buildings and urban areas, CHP systems — sometimes referred to as “cogeneration” — are now produced on a scale that’s safe, practical and affordable to homeowners.

A column-store database management system (DBMS) is a DBMS that indexes each column of a table, storing the indexes in lieu of row data — unlike traditional relational DBMSs using a row-store, where data is stored in rows, with indexes optional. In addition, most column-store DBMSs include additional optimization techniques (such as compression and tokenization) to further compress the data — using less storage and increasing input/output (I/O) performance. We do not include row-store DBMS engines that offer columnar forms of compression only.
