Objectivity Adds IBM Grid Compliance; High Performance Objectivity/DB Object Database (OODB) Management Platform is Level 3 Grid Compliant.SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Responding to market demands for its real-time, distributed database A database physically stored in two or more computer systems. Although geographically dispersed, a distributed database system manages and controls the entire database as a single collection of data. management platform, Objectivity, Inc., today announces its flagship product A primary product of a company, which is typically why the company was founded and/or what made it well known. For example, MS-DOS, Windows and the Microsoft Office suite have been flagship products of Microsoft. CorelDRAW is a flagship product of Corel Corporation. , Objectivity/DB, has been tested and verified as Level 3 grid compliant for the IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) Grid Architecture. Objectivity's grid compliance environment was validated by IBM at its Hursley grid research facility located in the United Kingdom. This level of IBM compliance testing insures the Objectivity/DB grid capabilities perform efficiently and correctly in a grid computing grid computing, the concurrent application of the processing and data storage resources of many computers in a network to a single problem. It also can be used for load balancing as well as high availability by employing multiple computers—typically personal environment. Objectivity/DB is a high-performance, peer-to-peer database solution that stores and manages very large volumes of complex data for event and relationship processing within mission-critical applications. Easy Administration Supports Real-time Decision Making The new Ready for IBM Grid Computing Systems capability of the Objectivity/DB platform makes it easy to administer in a grid computing environment. The Objectivity/DB grid management feature enables customers to easily and cost-effectively distribute computer-intensive applications throughout an organization. Objectivity enables organizations building these applications to collect and process increasing quantities of data from a growing number of sources to understand complicated inter-relationships and recognize patterns, transforming small clues into major breakthroughs. This common business challenge is critical for accurate real-time management decisions. New Data Management Paradigms As client/server technology ushered in the broad acceptance of relational database relational database Database in which all data are represented in tabular form. The description of a particular entity is provided by the set of its attribute values, stored as one row or record of the table, called a tuple. technology, grid technology is ushering in Noun 1. ushering in - the introduction of something new; "it signalled the ushering in of a new era" first appearance, introduction, debut, entry, launching, unveiling - the act of beginning something new; "they looked forward to the debut of their new product line" new data management paradigms to address the specific topology of the physical compute grid. "Cluster and grid computing, coupled with software designed for parallel scaling, permits businesses to solve problems and gain benefits that are simply infeasible to accomplish with more traditional approaches," states Carl Claunch, vice president Research and Advisory Services advisory services advisory services provided to the public, in their capacity as owners and managers of animals, are an important part of veterinary science. They may be provided by government bureaux, by commercial companies who deal in pharmaceuticals or animals or animal at Gartner, Inc. "Objectivity/DB architecture makes it the ideal data management platform for a grid environment. IBM and Objectivity are both participating in the standardization activities of the Global Grid Forum In 2006, the Global Grid Forum merged with the Enterprise Grid Alliance and formed the Open Grid Forum. This article is kept for historical reasons, and should be synchronized with the OGF article. ," said Leon Guzenda, chief technology officer at Objectivity, Inc. "Objectivity is committed to providing important new features and will be adding even more grid capabilities, such as powerful distributed query capabilities, over the coming year." "Today, innovators of software applications for the most demanding database challenges are turning to Objectivity/DB to help them successfully deploy their distributed next generation solutions," states Jay Jarrell, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. at Objectivity, Inc. "Our vision is to continue to be the data management platform of choice for the world's most innovative organizations using superior technology for competitive advantage." Grid Compliance for Objectivity Customers Objectivity's growth is being driven by the addition of high-profile customers involved in security and intelligence, process control, medical and telecommunications equipment, financial services The examples and perspective in this article or section may not represent a worldwide view of the subject.

Objectivity markets Objectivity/DB to ISVs, OEMs and end-users for real-time processing Noun 1. real-time processing - data processing fast enough to keep up with an outside process real-time operation data processing - (computer science) a series of operations on data by a computer in order to retrieve or transform or classify information of complex data, document and process management, scientific computing and complex defense and security applications. Many of these customers use large numbers of inter-connected processors to prepare and analyze massive databases. Grid technology makes it easier for them to manage their computing and storage resources. "With grid implementations rising, we continue to work with technology leaders like IBM to make it easier and more efficient for customers to run Objectivity-based applications in their grid computing environments," notes Jacques Darakdjian, vice president of engineering at Objectivity, Inc. About the Grid According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. www.gridforum.org, a grid standards organization A standards organization, also sometimes referred to as a standards body, a standards development organization or SDO (depending on what is being referenced), is any entity whose primary activities are developing, coordinating, promulgating, revising, amending, , grid computing is increasingly being viewed as the next phase of distributed computing (1) The use of multiple computers networked throughout a wide geographical area, or the world via the Internet, in order to solve a single problem. See grid computing. (2) The use of multiple computers in an enterprise rather than one centralized system. . Built on pervasive Internet standards See Internet Engineering Task Force. , grid computing enables organizations to share computing and information resources across department and organizational boundaries in a secure, highly efficient manner. Organizations around the world are utilizing grid computing today in such diverse areas as collaborative scientific research, drug discovery, financial risk analysis, and product design. Grid computing enables research-oriented organizations to solve problems that were infeasible to solve due to computing and data-integration constraints. Grids also reduce costs through automation and improved IT resource utilization. Finally, grid computing can increase an organization's agility enabling more efficient business processes and greater responsiveness to change. Over time grid computing will enable a more flexible, efficient and utility-like global computing infrastructure. The key to realizing the benefits of grid computing is standardization, so that the diverse resources that make up a modern computing environment can be discovered, accessed, allocated, monitored, and in general managed as a single virtual system-even when provided by different vendors and/or operated by different organizations.
