Objectivity Adds IBM Grid Compliance
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.
As client/server technology ushered in the broad acceptance of relational database technology, Grid technology is ushering in 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," stated Carl Claunch, vice president research and sdvisory services 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," said Leon Guzenda, chief technology officer at Objectivity. "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," stated Jay Jarrell, president and CEO at Objectivity. "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."
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 and knowledge management. Objectivity markets Objectivity/DB to ISVs, OEMs and end-users for real-time processing 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," noted Jacques Darakdjian, vice president of engineering at Objectivity.
