Telecom & Networking
As these devices grow smarter, they manage more complex data. How can they do it without the latency and vulnerability common in database software?
The eXtremeDB Solution: Real-Time Performance, High Availability, Patricia Trie Indexes And More!
By meeting this challenge, McObject’s eXtremeDB has emerged as the leading real-time embedded database system for telecom/netcom. F5 Networks, Motorola, Nokia Siemens Networks, EF Johnson, SOMA Networks and Genband are just a few of the innovators who rely on McObject's database, and comms applications leveraging eXtremeDB include:
- Rules engines
- Network fault management
- Roaming service
- Chassis management
- Revenue assurance
- Network emulation and test
The eXtremeDB Database Product Family
In eXtremeDB, application developers gain a solution that includes:
- A Standard Edition, embodying eXtremeDB 's core in-memory database system (IMDS) architecture for fastest performance with a tiny footprint (RAM and CPU)
- eXtremeDB High Availability edition for proven fault-tolerance
- 64-bit support (eXtremeDB-64) to manage terabyte-plus databases in RAM
- eXtremeDB Fusion hybrid technology, to add persistent (on-disk) storage for selected record types
- Tools to develop highly optimized embedded software:
- A type-safe native API that eliminates database corruption
- Standard SQL ODBC and fast Java Native Interface
- Specialized data indexes, including Patricia tries for phone routing and IP filtering
- Source code available
- Fast, fine-grained data-sharing with enterprise systems via eXtremeDB Data Relay
- Broadest support for OSs and RTOSs – including the ability to run without an OS (“bare bones boards”)
