McObject's New eXtremeDB 4.0 Provides Greater Performance, Scalability and Developer Flexibility for Customers'

ISSAQUAH, WA, Nov 09 (MARKET WIRE) --
McObject(R), an innovator in the field of embedded database systems for
real-time applications, today announced the general availability of
version 4.0 of its flagship eXtremeDB(TM) product. The release continues
McObject's commitment to expanding developer flexibility, resulting in
faster and more scalable applications, especially on increasingly popular
multi-core systems. Today, McObject also announced two new customer wins,
which exemplify eXtremeDB 4.0's diverse capabilities in systems ranging
from high-volume Web applications to tiny footprint embedded devices.
myYearbook, one of the top five social networking sites, and SCL
Elements, the makers of CAN2GO networking technology for building and
laboratory automation, have adopted eXtremeDB to build key enhancements
into their technology.

Using McObject's eXtremeDB, organizations eliminate the need to create
custom data management code, reducing development and support costs for
real-time systems and gaining higher performance. For manufacturers,
eXtremeDB's frugal appetite for memory and CPU cycles lowers hardware
costs, resulting in savings that drop to the bottom line -- or can be used
to reduce end-user price, to gain market share. Whether handling critical
data for a combat jet's navigation system or managing a real-time Web
application for financial services, eXtremeDB offers multiple features --
from a type-safe programming interface to an optional High Availability
database subsystem -- to build in rock-solid reliability, durability and
data integrity.

"With the added support of recoverability and persistence, eXtremeDB 4.0
has allowed us to supplement our traditional RDBMS and key-value stores
with specialized, 64-bit optimized, high performance applications capable
of sustaining over 50M web-based requests/day on a single 16-core server,"
said Jonah H. Harris, senior DBA at myYearbook. "Using eXtremeDB, we have
been able to develop several 64-bit cache-optimized applications that
perform everything from large-scale user-to-user match percentage
calculations to complex user search operations with a high percentage of
response times being sub-millisecond."

With version 4.0, McObject builds on experience gained through eXtremeDB's
adoption in a wide array of markets including financial services,
industrial control, defense and aerospace, Web services,
telecommunications and consumer electronics. All these industries have a
common business requirement: efficient, reliable data management to
support the "smart" features offered to application and device end-users.
Hundreds of companies around the world rely on McObject technology to
meet this goal, and to realize cost savings in development and
manufacturing.

"SCL Elements' CAN2GO Monitoring and Control Network provides a simple and
flexible solution to the challenges of environmental monitoring and
process control," says Simon Leblond, president of SCL Elements. "As a key
component of our Access Point device for wireless sensor networks,
McObject's eXtremeDB manages data from multiple sensors, providing
sophisticated search and retrieval while imposing only minimal memory and
CPU demands. The database enables users to seamlessly integrate and define
parameters for large numbers of sensors, which is a key capability of our
product."

McObject's eXtremeDB 4.0 offers the following enhancements to provide
customers with expanded development capabilities, greater speed and
resource-efficiency, and an unprecedented new level of scalability:

-- Multi-Version Concurrency Control (MVCC) Transaction Manager --
eXtremeDB's new option for regulating access to the database eliminates
"locking." Now, companies can dramatically improve scalability and
performance, especially in applications with many tasks or processes, and
on multi-core systems.

-- New Index Structures -- eXtremeDB 4.0 adds support for the KD Tree, a
data index that eases development, accelerates data processing and
enables developers to add highly efficient query features.

-- Data index algorithms in eXtremeDB 4.0 are optimized for the MVCC
Transaction Manager and deliver faster performance.

-- Logical Database Devices -- McObject's new release introduces the
concept of logical database devices, which simplifies commands to create a
database, whether in memory or on persistent storage, or both. The new
feature also adds techniques for performance optimization and database
recovery when working with two or more storage devices, be they spinning
disks or Solid State Disks.

-- New Application Programming Interface (API) -- eXtremeDB 4.0 expands an
already-large developer toolset with a new Uniform Database Access API.
This "one size fits all" function library is fast -- native to C/C++ --
and can be used across all projects. eXtremeDB also provides a
project-specific native interface, as well as APIs supporting
industry-standard SQL.

"Our customers are looking for ways to bring more powerful and reliable
technology products to market, and need to accomplish this faster than
ever before," said Steve Graves, chief executive officer and co-founder,
McObject. "While their applications vary widely, they face the same
obstacle: efficiently managing growing volumes of complex data. eXtremeDB
4.0 provides McObject's most advanced real-time embedded database system
yet for addressing this challenge and enabling our customers to deliver
software and devices whose reliability, performance and advanced features
delight end-users."
