Versant Whitepapers
The Versant Object Database is well known for its outstanding performance, particularly for data ingestion of complex models including highly connected graph data. In this Versant white paper, we compare the performance of the Versant Object Database using a traditional RAID storage system versus VOD utilizing the Kove Data Storage system for creating trees of inter-connected objects.
As the nature of business evolves, enterprise data and data analysis evolve along with it. Long a staple of enterprise applications, relational databases are falling short when it comes to data that has a very complex structure and unstructured, dynamic data, especially that which is associated with multimedia and social networking.
Databases for managing and controlling IPTV content are indispensable for an IPTV platform. In this application domain, the database must provide fast access to rather complex data, easy integration into an ever evolving application code, and support massive concurrent access from potentially millions of consumers. Choosing a database for such a system and the reasons this choice serve as the subject of this paper.
Telecommunications operators are facing great performance challenges in their current operation environment using an RDBMS. When processing huge amounts of Call Data Record (CDR) objects, the existing system operated by one of the leading Chinese telecom operators was quickly running out of server resources. To avoid additional hardware investments the operator turned to Versant to evaluate a more efficient database solution.
Authors quite commonly—and incorrectly—refer to the process of serialization as part of what is happening when an object database stores an object or object graph. This white paper debunks that misperception, and sets the record straight about the efficiency of object databases as brought about by the avoidance of serialization.
The purpose of this whitepaper is to examine and compare RDBMS with several object persistence methods within the context of Agile Software Development. True object persistence tools and methodologies are necessary to reap true agile development benefits, and therefore achieve the business advantages of this development process.
This white paper analyzes under which circumstances VOD can benefit from the high I/O performance of Solid State Devices. In this white paper we are especially interested in data that show which parts/files of a database - system volume, data volumes, logical log and/or physical log - should be stored on an SSD and which ones need not be in order to maximize performance gains.
The whitepaper explores the challenges in delivering an MMOG solution for the data layer and describe how the Versant Object Database delivers on the capabilities required by these incredibly demanding applications.
Larry Mellon, well known in the MMO arena as a consultant, author and speaker, discusses in his Whitepaper paths of spreading today’s use of metrics into broader areas in developing and operating MMOs.
This whitepaper aims to investigate the roles for database technologies, focusing on how an Object Database Management System (ODBMS), like the one provided by Versant, can help an organisation to truly deliver end-to-end object solutions.
This white paper addresses the issue of data clustering and how optimal clustering can benefit performance by improving application scalability. The subject of relational databases is visited briefly, but the emphasis of this article is on client/server architectures built around an Object-Oriented Database Management System (ODBMS).
