SAN MATEO, Calif., COLOGNE, Germany, June. 19, 2007
- db4objects » www.db4o.com,
creator of the leading open source object database, and
ProSyst » www.prosyst.com,
the leading provider of client and server side OSGi service
platforms today announced a strategic partnership that
enables the provision of OSGi platforms with integrated
persistence. Under the partner agreement db4objects has
adapted their native Java object database to OSGi
specifications and has released “db4o for OSGi
solutions”, an OSGi specific distribution.
ProSyst has adopted db4o as the standard Object Persistence
Package of ProSyst’s commercial product mBedded Server
Professional Edition and has signed a reseller agreement
with db4objects to provide a single point of contact for
customers seeking the market's leading and most
comprehensive OSGi framework with integrated persistence.
In addition ProSyst has embedded db4o as an optional package
into its open source distribution mBedded Server Equinox
Edition.
"As the market leader in OSGi frameworks, it was an easy decision to
partner with the leading pure Java persistence solution of
db4objects," said Thomas Hott, CEO of ProSyst. "We needed a
robust and proven solution. We not only looked at db4objects'
development methodology and elaborate testing framework but also at
the fact that customers such as Boeing, Ricoh, Seagate and leading
investment banks are trusting their technology. Robustness and
demonstrated reliability are key criteria for the OSGi framework."
"This is a match made in heaven" said Christof Wittig CEO of db4objects.
"db4o is native to Java which means that developers can be much
more productive working in their favorite environment without having
to waste time writing persistence-related code accessing non-Java
databases. ProSyst mBedded Server adds mature, robust and tested
technology to Java that device manufacturers, service providers or
enterprise software companies were looking for. What moved us to
select ProSyst to launch db4o for OSGi solutions was an increasing
number of requests for a persistence solution targeting applications
as varied as mobile devices, smart home applications, telematics,
enterprise, and industrial applications."
db4o for OSGi solutions
db4o for OSGi solutions provides a service interface that enables all
modules using the OSGi platform to access the facilities of object
persistence services, such as powerful native queries (native to
Java), transaction isolation and recovery, and storage of very
complex objects. At the same time it ensures high programming
efficiency by avoiding the object-relational impedance mismatch
problem.
ProSyst mBedded Server
ProSyst mBedded Server is a high performance, low footprint
OSGi R4 implementation that is offered in two main
distributions:
- The Open Source
» mBedded Server Equinox Edition
is based on the Eclipse Equinox OSGi. It is the ideal
choice for research and open source projects.
- The optimized commercial
» mBedded Server Professional Edition
is based on the ProSyst OSGi framework implementation -
it contains everything that is needed to embed this
platform into mass market devices. mBedded Server
Professional Edition sets new standards for performance
and memory efficiency through several unique technology
innovationsand is optimized for small platforms with
limited resources.
OSGi Alliance
The OSGi Alliance was established in 1999 to specify an industry standard
Java-based application platform that allows applications to be built from
small, reusable components. It is designed to be lightweight and dynamic so
that modules can be installed, started, stopped, uninstalled and updated -
all at run-time. The framework provides a service registry, a key component
for SOAs (service-oriented architectures) which is one reason why OSGi
technology is gaining so much following from leading software companies
such as IBM, BEA, Oracle and RedHat, and is the foundation for the leading
open development platform Eclipse.
