Birdstep Technology Releases RDM Server 8.0 Embeddable Database
New Version Offers Data Replication enhancing our high availability and fault tolerant capabilities.
SEATTLE/OSLO – May 17, 2007 – Birdstep Technology (OSE: BIRD) today announced the latest version of its RDM Server embeddable database management system. This new version includes data replication designed to meet market demand for applications requiring a 99.999% uptime guarantee and 24/7 data availability.
RDM Server 8.0 is ideally suited for business critical applications found in network management, office automation, financial services, military/aero, medical, and telecommunication systems. With the introduction of data replication, highly available applications and fault tolerant systems are now solved out of the box reducing vendor's total cost of ownership.
Time to market is significantly reduced due to RDM Server's flexibility, decreasing the development effort required. Through the extension module architecture, developers are able to incorporate application business logic centrally, lowering the cost of ownership facilitating a thin-client environment. In addition, RDM Server v8.0 continues a long standing reputation combining high performance with data security and fault tolerance. Furthermore, with RDM Server's hot-online backup functionality, database applications can run 24/7 with zero downtime.
“Customers can count on Birdstep's embeddable databases to meet their database needs for complex and performance critical applications,” said Steinar Sande, CEO of Birdstep Database Division. “We have extended our unique embedded database technology with a data replication engine targeting fault tolerance applications needing a 99.999% uptime guarantee. Implemented as a pluggable transaction logging engine, customers with specific replication or transaction logging needs can take advantage of this architecture to create custom functionality. The solution also solves problems where highly available data is required augmenting existing functionality like hot-backup capabilities and in-memory support. “
