Innovative Telecommunications Companies Embrace Centura Software's Embedded Data Management Solutions
Centura Delivers Proven Reliability, Cross-Platform Capability and RTOS Support for the Demanding Telecommunication Equipment Market
REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Aug. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Centura Software Corporation (Nasdaq: CNTR - news), leader in secure, embedded micro and e-business databases and development solutions for Internet Appliances and intelligent devices, continues its dominance within the telecommunications equipment market, a market that is expected to grow to $152.6 billion by 2001. Studies conducted by the Telecommunications Industry Association indicate increased spending for telecommunications equipment specifically in the areas of switching, computer and IP telephony, signaling, transmission equipment, and network and systems management technology -- all segments where Centura has demonstrated its expertise. Centura's solutions are deployed by NetMoves, SATTEL Global Networks and others.
Reliable Time-Tested Solutions
SATTEL Global Networks regards ''reliability'' as a critical requirement of their database technology. SATTEL ( sattel.com )uses Centura's Raima Data Manager(TM) (RDM) as a critical part of their switching application for their satellite-based telecommunications system. SATTEL required embedded data management technology that met multiple criteria: It had to be capable of functioning continuously with minimal human intervention; and it had to be a scalable system that was fault tolerant.
Centura delivered its time-tested, proven RDM technology, a widely used embedded database on real-time operating systems, as the logical choice for such a demanding telecommunication switching application. Bruce Edge of SATTEL Technologies describes the advantages of using Centura's RDM on the QNX RTOS for this application, ''RDM contributed an important development advantage over the self-developed data management component used previously. Moving from our internally developed data management structures to RDM saved time in programming, and provided the maintainability and extensibility lacking in the data management component of previous versions of our application,'' said Edge.
Zero Administration / Zero Down-Time
Centura's support for multiple database models, a hallmark of Centura's RDM and Velocis Database Server(TM), provided the desired solution for NetMoves ( netmoves.com ). NetMoves, an international leader in Internet faxing, recognized the benefits inherent in Centura's technology and successfully integrated Velocis into their Internet Fax Processing in the U.S. and Japanese markets. Jeff Young, Systems Development Manager for NetMoves, explains that both performance and zero administration requirements were key considerations in choosing the RDM database. ''Velocis' performance, as well as its fault tolerance and low maintenance requirements, make it the appropriate embedded data management choice for our remote switches,'' said Young.
In addition to focusing on performance-enhancing features, Centura's data management technology also supports the telecommunications mandate of ''no down-time.'' Such an operating premise is necessary for robust operations where recoverability plays an integral role for the telecommunication industry when choosing telecommunication equipment. Fault detection and recovery modes that can protect the database in the event of system failure are additional factors to be considered. Centura's RDM has the two-fold ability of detecting errors stemming from system failure and then guaranteeing automatic recovery through its customizable error handler and its autorecovery feature.
