(Source: MARKETWIRE)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.
