ISSAQUAH, WA, May 18 (MARKET WIRE) --
McObject(R), an innovator in embedded database technology, announced a
partnership with UK-based MPC Data. In the alliance, MPC Data will
distribute McObject's eXtremeDB(TM) and Perst(TM) embedded database
software, and provide services surrounding the technology, in key
European embedded development markets including automotive, mobile
computing and phones, consumer electronics, medical products, industrial
control, netcom/telecom and retail.
The partnership centers on the UK, Scandinavia and other northern European
countries, where MPC Data already has significant clientele. MPC Data
provides design, consultancy, project management and development services
and is recognized as a solutions provider for Microsoft Windows Embedded
platforms, RTOSs such as the QNX real-time operating system and embedded
Linux, and semiconductor platforms solutions such as TI, Renesas, Intel
and Freescale, among other technologies. MPC Data expressed excitement
over adding McObject's embedded database software to its technology
portfolio.
"Incorporating an embedded database has become a 'must' in many
development projects. In our evaluation, we determined that eXtremeDB
offers the greatest range of technical features among embedded databases
for real-time systems, with the best performance and an outstanding
support organization. We expect our partnership with McObject to be
highly productive," said Steve Harper, MPC Data's managing director.
Mr. Harper singled out McObject's eXtremeDB High Availability (HA)
edition, as well as its eXtremeDB Fusion hybrid in-memory/on-disk
embedded database, as holding immediate promise for customers.
eXtremeDB-HA enables fault-tolerant architectures via multiple,
synchronized database copies, with automatic failover. eXtremeDB Fusion
combines on-disk and in-memory storage in a single database system,
enabling developers to optimize for persistence, performance, cost and
form factor.
"eXtremeDB-HA provides a key element that is missing in other embedded
database product families: a proven high availability solution, for
growing markets including industrial control and telecom. eXtremeDB
Fusion is a great example of how McObject pushes the envelope to provide
database technology that gives developers the utmost flexibility," Mr.
Harper said.
McObject's embedded database products also offer a small code footprint
(100K for eXtremeDB); minimal CPU demands; rich developer tools, including
support for a wide range of data and query types; and exceptional
portability. In addition to eXtremeDB, McObject provides Perst, an open
source, object-oriented embedded database for Java and .NET. Perst is used
widely in embedded and mobile environments, including on BlackBerry,
Android and other smartphones.
"We are thrilled that McObject is gaining a partner with deep technical
skills and a broad marketing reach in European markets. MPC Data's
expertise and its existing alliances with operating system and hardware
vendors map almost perfectly to our technology. This translates to a high
level of synergy between the companies. We look forward to making this
compatibility bear fruit in the form of new business and increased market
share," Chris Mureen, McObject's chief operating officer, said.
