Objectivity Readies for New Super Scalable Release of Objectivity/DB; New Objectivity/DB Beta Release Stresses Reliability, Scalability and Availability.SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- High Performance, Real-Time, Mission-Critical Database Scales to Exabytes Responding to the very large database (VLDB (Very Large DataBase) An extremely large database. What constitutes a VLDB is debatable, but databases of 100GB or more are generally considered the starting point. ) market need for scalability, Objectivity, Inc. the leader in high performance databases for the management of complex information, today announced the launch of its Beta Test A test of new or revised hardware or software that is performed by users at their facilities under normal operating conditions. Beta testing follows alpha testing. Vendors of packaged software often offer their customers the opportunity of beta testing new releases or versions, and the Program for Objectivity/DB(R) Release 9.0. In association with specific customers, Objectivity is ensuring its product undergoes final quality assurance acceptance in preparation for general availability during the first quarter of 2005. Objectivity/DB 9.0 represents the first time a commercially available database will be available to enable Exabyte-level VLDB customers to build mission-critical data fusion Data fusion, is generally defined as the use of techniques that combine data from multiple sources and gather that information in order to achieve inferences, which will be more efficient than if they were achieved by means of a single source. applications to find the "needle in the haystack." 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 information, document and process management, scientific computing and complex defense and security applications. Objectivity's customers develop solutions built on Objectivity/DB for the government, telecommunications, Internet infrastructure, manufacturing, biotechnology, financial services The examples and perspective in this article or section may not represent a worldwide view of the subject.

Success in the VLDB Market Objectivity is experiencing significant momentum in several very large database markets where there is an enormous amount of complex information that needs to be managed. For example, many of Objectivity's government customers are performing data fusion from geospatial and sensor data, others are storing and correlating vast amounts of disparate information such as text, images, video and voice for investigation or security and intelligence applications. Additional VLDB market areas where Objectivity/DB is utilized include the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, biopharmaceuticals, financial services and analytical web search solutions, among others. New Performance, Scalability and Availability Features New features within this release include: --New Database and Container Catalog -- Enhances the performance and scalability of database and container catalogs. The new Objectivity/DB catalog structure improves its operations by simplifying the internal data structure of entries while reducing the number of lock server calls and disk reads required for catalog operations. --64-Bit Memory Address Support (Altix and Solaris) -- Enables users to create and run Objectivity/DB applications that use 64-bit virtual memory addressing. Such applications run on certain platforms that support the creation and execution of 64-bit applications (e.g., the OS supports 64-bit compilers and provides 64-bit runtime libraries A collection of executable software functions in the machine language of the target computer. A runtime library can be linked into an application at compile time with links already resolved from the programmer's code to the functions when the application is loaded. ). --Client Side Listener (Partial) -- Provides application developers with access to internal information that could be used for performance tuning Performance tuning is the improvement of system performance. This is typically a computer application, but the same methods can be applied to economic markets, bureaucracies or other complex systems. . This information might also be used to control application flow. --Page Conversion Utility -- This new tool assists customers converting existing federations to the format of a specific machine architecture. Some customers may obtain better performance by upgrading old data in the format of the platform they currently use. --Multiple Page Size Support -- Allows users to specify the storage page size for individual databases. Storage pages are the units of transfer to and from memory across the network. Allowing users to specify different page sizes enhances Objectivity's capability to accommodate different kinds of data from disparate databases. --Tutorials (Windows) -- A set of on-line lessons and exercises to allow new users to quickly begin writing applications. --UNIX Samples -- A set of sample C++ and Java applications A Java program that is run stand alone. The Java Virtual Machine in the client or server is interpreting the instructions. Contrast with Java applet. See servlet. showing how Objectivity/DB can be used in particular application areas or how particular features of Objectivity/DB can be used. --High Availability (HA) API (Application Programming Interface) A language and message format used by an application program to communicate with the operating system or some other control program such as a database management system (DBMS) or communications protocol. Extensions -- These are API enhancements to improve the management of replicated databases. These improvements extend the functionality while improving the ease-of-use of the HA feature.

"With Objectivity/DB 8.0 we were able to establish our credentials in the Very Large Database world," said Leon Guzenda, chief technology officer. "We broke through the Petabyte One quadrillion bytes (one trillion kilobytes). Also PB, Pbyte and P-byte. See peta, binary values and space/time.

Objectivity/DB 9.0 will be able to support Exabytes of data and ingest rates in excess of 100 Terabytes per day on commodity hardware." "With Objectivity/DB 9.0 we will establish a new standard for quality and customer satisfaction in addition to making it the industry's most scalable database engine," according to Jay Jarrell president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.
