Aerospace & Defense

Military and aerospace systems manage growing volumes of complex data, to perform tasks that define the term "mission critical."

What embedded database management system (DBMS) provides the performance, reliability and developer flexibility these systems demand?

The eXtremeDB Embedded Database System for Military and Aerospace Applications
McObject’s eXtremeDB embedded database system delivers the technical features and proven track record required for aerospace and defense embedded software. eXtremeDB maximizes uptime and slashes time-to-market, compared to other off-the-shelf database systems, or to custom data management code. Target applications include:
  • Combat Jet Avionics
  • Battlefield Management
  • Missile Intercept
  • Command & Control
  • Pilot Assistance
  • Secure Communications
  • Ground Surveillance

The eXtremeDB Embedded Database Product Family


In eXtremeDB, application developers gain a database solution product family that includes:
  • eXtremeDB In-Memory Database System edition, embodying the core product architecture and delivering key IMDS benefits including ultra-fast performance and a tiny footprint (150K code size)
  • High Availability edition for proven fault-tolerance, plus a Cluster edition for the most database intensive applications
  • 64-bit support (eXtremeDB-64) and optional multi-version concurrency control (MVCC) transaction management, for high scalability (proven in 1+ terabyte in-memory deployments)
  • eXtremeDB Fusion hybrid technology, to add persistent storage for selected record types
  • Features to develop highly optimized embedded software:
    • More application programming interfaces (APIs): native, navigational C/C++ API for fastest operation, standard SQL ODBC & JDBC, Java Native Interface (JNI) and native C#/.NET API
    • Highest possible code quality via C/C++ API's type safety; elimination of reliance on dynamic memory allocation; and sophisticated debugging and error-handling
    • Specialized data indexes, including R-Trees for mapping/navigation and Patricia tries for communications
    • Source code available
    • Broadest support for OSs and RTOSs, including Wind River Systems' specialized VxWorks 653 for avionics. Can run without an OS (“bare bones boards”)
