IN-MEMORY DATABASE ELIMINATES DISK I/O AND CACHING.eXtremeDB 2.3 has been unveiled for BlueCat Linux 5.0, offers an off-the-shelf solution to embedded Linux The Linux operating system configured and enhanced to work in a wide variety of applications, including handheld devices, network appliances, industrial machines and consumer electronics devices. The modularity of the Linux kernel makes it well suited to embedded systems. systems' growing need to manage larger volumes of more complex data. As an in-memory database A database that keeps all active records in main memory rather than on disk. Accessing in-memory records is considerably faster than retrieving them from the disk. , eXtremeDB eliminates disk I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output , caching and related overheaddelivering the kind of instant responsiveness demanded in key target markets such as communications, military and aerospace. And eXtremeDB's tiny (as little as 50K code size) footprint delivers savings by minimizing hardware needs in cost- sensitive OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and applications like consumer electronics. eXtremeDB also provides sophisticated developer tools, including support for varied data and query types, and a powerful debugging environment with a self-diagnostic API that catches a wide range of common database programming errors before they slip into runtime code. "eXtremeDB and BlueCat Linux usage are both growing rapidly, fueled by technology organizations' desire for innovative and stable off-the-shelf software components supported by companies with proven track records. LynuxWorks is excited to expand its partnership with McObject to include eXtremeDB 2.3 support for BlueCat Linux 5.0," LynuxWorks' VP Sales and Marketing Bob Morris said.
