The Database System Designed for Smart Devices
Anticipating the needs of intelligent connected devices.
The right embedded database software in consumer electronics can reduce costs, boost performance and support data-hungry new features, lending a critical advantage to manufacturers.
Consumer electronics manufacturers compete fiercelybased on price and user experience. In McObject’s eXtremeDB, consumer electronics manufacturers gain a highly efficient database system to integrate in devices’ embedded software. eXtremeDB’s small code size (approximately 200K) reduces device hardware costs, while its unmatched speed delivers a snappy user experience.
As a commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) product, eXtremeDB slashes a device’s time-to-market, compared to using proprietary (homegrown) database code. As a hybrid database system, eXtremeDB supports both in-memory and on-disk storage, enabling the use of a single database system across a consumer electronics product line that includes disk-less and disk-enabled products.
eXtremeDB’s efficient design and unmatched speed has been giving consumer electronics manufacturers a competitive edge since 2001. Find eXtremeDB in:

Developer flexibility
Developers can leverage a rich toolset, including event notifications, fast and flexible search methods, support for virtually all data types, and multiple application programming interfaces (SQL ODBC & JDBC, Python, C# can be used with the ODBC .NET Managed Provider. Native C/C++ and Java)
Built-in security
eXtremeDB offers built-in data security at rest and in transit. With AES encryption enabled, even a successful breach of network security will not expose database content to a bad actor.
“After a stringent review process, we selected eXtremeDB because of its scalability; outstanding performance due to its sharding capability; and our confidence in McObject’s ability to offer a solid support team.”

Over 70,000,000 deployments world-wide
We’re honored to be used by companies that lead their industries. See a partial client list.
“We determined that integrating a proven data management solution will shorten development and testing, cutting overall development costs. Our experience with eXtremeDB has borneout this prediction”
