LOWER COST OF OWNERSHIP
Eliminating mapping reduces costs by as much as 30% - Objectivity/DB is
not only faster at navigating trees and networks of objects than legacy
technologies, it also reduces the amount of engineering effort needed to
bring a software product to market. The cost savings that result from eliminating
the mapping layer between the programming language and the
DBMS can be as much as 30% in a typical database project.
Zero Administration Philosophy - Traditional DBMSs were designed to be managed by highly trained database administrators. Objectivity/DB was designed with a “Zero Administration” philosophy, making it much easier to embed it within a product. Its libraries, object definitions and pre-loaded databases can be shipped with your product and installed by field personnel with no DBMS expertise.
More Efficient Hardware Utilization - Objectivity/DB has a much lower memory and disk footprint than legacy DBMSs. Each client typically requires between 1.2 and 3 Mb of RAM for the shared library code, plus whatever cache the application needs for the objects it is working on. The lower footprint and the more efficient use of processor power translate into greater throughput on an existing hardware configuration; or less expensive hardware for new installations.
Increasing the Value of the Data Asset - Any revised or new application running on Objectivity/DB will automatically add powerful new features to your product with very little extra effort on the part of your existing engineers. It will also make it easier to handle system upgrades and language or platform changes in the future. Your user’s data will be protected, be more accessible (with appropriate security) and be made more valuable as it accumulates over time.
