Re-Inventing Data Management For Intelligent Devices

A white paper from the database management system experts at McObject.

Intelligent devices such as set-top boxes, consumer electronics, and networking gear are adding software “smarts” and managing larger volumes of more complex data –a challenge typically met with embedded database management systems (DBMS). But traditional databases, with roots in business processing, present CPU and memory requirements that are too expensive for price-sensitive high-tech gear. This paper examines the emerging on-device database requirements, and looks at one in-memory database, eXtremeDB, developed in response to these needs.
