Database for IoT Systems

Small footprint, scalable database management for the Internet of Things

eXtremeDB Advanced Replication Fabric™ combines advanced, easy to use, development tools with unmatched elastic database scalability, data availability, safety and information security at the edge and for the cloud.

Active Replication Fabric mitigates data loss between device and server.

The Internet of Things is an ecosystem of billions of connected devices and applications generating enormous amounts of data. Around the clock data availability and protection and ultra-fast analysis is a cornerstone concept in every aspect of our lives. eXtremeDB Active Replication Fabric is a powerful low-overhead solution for transparent, uninterrupted and safe data transmission from edge-to-cloud and cloud-to-edge, making it the ideal database for IoT systems.

Built-in security

Billions of IoT devices’ and their storage containers are exposed and inherently vulnerable. Unlike servers, IoT edge devices run in the open and don’t enjoy IT staff attendance, sophisticated firewalls and other security apparatus available at the back-end. eXtremeDB protects its data at rest through sophisticated AES encryption algorithms and in transmission by employing integrated SSL/TLS protocols for its communication channels.

Compressed storage and transmissions

By nature, IoT edge devices’ memory and persistent storage is often limited while the volume of data collected is high. High volumes of on-device data makes on-device storage and transmission compression a must. eXtremeDB’s efficient storage layout and integrated database compression maximizes efficient utilization of on-device storage space and minimizes necessary transmission bandwidth, enabling cost-effective device deployments and back-end data analytics.

^
In McObject’s tests, activating this feature reduced storage space requirements by 75% and increased speed in reading the database by 21%.  Read more about compressed storage in our online documentation.

Platform-independent interoperability for IoT systems

IoT connected devices — sensors, machines and other gear are designed to work in heterogeneous ecosystems which necessarily requires supporting multiple operating environments (CPUs, operating systems, programming languages, and network protocols). With a footprint of just about 200K, and available source code, eXtremeDB supports all common hardware platforms and embedded real-time operating systems, leveraging your investment in eXtremeDB across different projects with their varying architectures.

eXtremeDB, the platform independent database for IoT systems

Eliminate the file system for up to 6X performance on raw flash.

eXtremeDB/rt eliminates the file system and integrates the flash translation layer (FTL) directly into the DBMS. The result: significant latency and performance improvements compared to the usual DBMS|Filesystem|FTL|driver|flash media stack.

^

Modern embedded systems depend on flash memory for high-density data storage. Our exclusive Transactional Map File accelerates managed flash integration, while the Transactional Flash Translation Layer (TFTL™) delivers deterministic, low-overhead performance directly on raw flash for mission-critical applications.
