Object Database Management System (ODBMS)
Today, object oriented databases play an increasingly important role as enterprises develop systems and infrastructure to deal with more complex data requirements. Whether an organization is extending business operations to the Internet, supporting a network infrastructure, or building leading-edge software to accommodate unlimited distributed transactions and users in real-time, Progress® ObjectStore® Enterprise provides an effective strategy for managing data distribution.
A Robust Object Oriented Database Management System
ObjectStore is an object oriented database management system (ODBMS) that delivers the scalability, speed and reliability required to compete in today's real-time environment. ObjectStore offers complete transparent persistence for C++ and Java applications, as well as a patented Cache-Forward™ Architecture that leverages the memory management functionality of the operating system for true real-time performance.
In high volume transaction-intensive environments, ObjectStore has been proven the ideal object oriented database by virtue of its rapid response times. Consequently, businesses in financial services, retail, logistics, e-commerce and telecommunications, to name a few, have found this embedded database provides a reliable, transactional persistent database management system that easily satisfies their development needs. Here are some more ObjectStore features:
- Connect to existing enterprise database systems and deliver data to users at in-memory speed by caching data in the middle-tier.
- Allow multiple users and applications to simultaneously access and update a massive database while protecting the physical and logical integrity of the data.
- Make use of kernel threads, asynchronous I/O, and shared memory communication.
- Store and manage data objects with their relationships intact, reducing the amount of code needed for an application and, consequently, the time to develop new applications.
- Distribute and maintain component data caches with a local cache management scheme that facilitates caching of large database datasets local to the application that needs them.
