OBJECTIVITY/DB – KEY FEATURES

The architecture of Objectivity/DB was designed to provide the highest levels of reliability, performance, scalability (data volume and concurrency), distribution and interoperability. It provides the following major benefits to Federal systems designers and developers:

  • An open but safe long-term repository for valuable data.
  • Considerably simplifies the design, development, testing and deployment of complex network element management systems because:

    • It has the most powerful object modeling, storage and access capabilities of any Object Database Management System.

    • It provides a complete storage solution for metadata, raw data and generated data.

    • It can navigate trees and networks of objects much faster than relational or hybrid object-relational database management systems.

  • Removes the bottlenecks inherent in object servers. It reduces network tra ffic and employs smart caching to avoid redundant disk I/O. It can be deployed anywhere in the organization, even down in real-time data collection elements.
  • Outperforms persistent language, message based and home grown file-based systems as data volumes and concurrent usage increase.
  • Objectivity/DB is better at making the location of data, metadata and DBMS processes transparent to client and administrative processes than any other DBMS.
  • Distributed architecture for networked and multithreaded or multiprocessor environments.
  • Objectivity/DB Open File System (OOFS) provides seamless integration to a wide range of industry standard hierarchical storage managers, Storage Area Networks, Network Accessed Storage and HPSS [High Performance Storage System] nodes. This opens up new product opportunities for archiving and data mining service information.
  • Complete interoperability between all supported platforms [UNIX, Linux, Windows NT/2K and LynxOS] and languages [ODMG'93 C++, Smalltalk & Java and ANSI SQL & ODBC].
  • Tools for importing and exporting XML class definitions and data. Objectivity Active Schema™ and Objectivity ROSElink™ can be used to build schema management tools or to migrate UML or GDMO definitions in and out of Objectivity/DB.
  • The Fault Tolerant Option replicates system data and services.The Data Replication Option replicates user databases to multiple sites. Applications can survive both network and node failures in geographically or logically distributed systems.
  • Objectivity/DB is built to cope with the realities of environments that include rapidly evolving applications and technologies. The Active Schema™ option supports the dynamic definition, creation and migration of persistent C++ or Java object instances.
