Powerful Enhancements Enable Customers to Create Data Management Components
That Span Entire Product Lines
BOSTON, Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- (Embedded Systems Conference 2006,
Booth 1137B) Encirq Corporation, the global leader in device data
management, today announced a major upgrade to DeviceSQL(TM), marking the
third generation of the company's software framework for implementing high
performance data management capabilities to increase the intelligence,
performance and usability of devices. As the emerging standard for device
data management, DeviceSQL provides new capabilities and enhancements that
enable customers to employ common data management technology across their
product lines, from low- end to high-end devices, regardless of chosen
target CPU or operating system platform.
DeviceSQL provides an unprecedented level of flexibility and control
while also significantly improving runtime performance and optimizing the
use of system resources such as CPU cycles, RAM, storage, power and
bandwidth. Powerful new features give DeviceSQL unmatched versatility,
enabling customers to create high performance data management components
and solutions that can be built once and then easily deployed and extended
for each device across their entire product line. DeviceSQL now includes
support for:
-- Four integrated data management methods (dynamic streams, in-memory,
memory-mapped and device-direct) that can be intermixed within a single
application or shared across a device.
-- Virtually unlimited diversity of storage devices and methods -- data
managed, captured, partitioned and persisted for any device from RAM to
ROM, SDFlash to HD cache, broadcast streams to podcast schemas, RFID to
sensor stream feeds. Furthermore, DeviceSQL can now store, process and
stream significantly more data within available memory and
communications bandwidth.
-- "Instant-On" data -- with high-speed data access methods tuned for
persistence and data/metadata integrity, providing even faster, more
reliable device booting after conventional power on/off cycles as well
as unexpected power loss.
-- New optional APIs for multi-language, programmatic access to managed
data through either direct C function calls or through dynamic runtime
interpretation of DeviceSQL, further expanding upon the DeviceSQL
compiled in-line execution model.
-- DeviceSQL Builder -- a new tool that enables developers to quickly and
graphically design, generate and validate data management components
and solutions without the need for traditional programming methods.
DeviceSQL Builder automates the generation of DeviceSQL code, sample
application code, test cases and documentation, saving months of
development time.
DeviceSQL provides the fastest performance and smallest footprint for
device data management. Internal benchmarks show software built with
DeviceSQL to run 15 to 50 times faster than alternative data management
technologies while consuming just a fraction of the memory. Plus, the
unique stream processing capabilities and efficient storage methods of
DeviceSQL enable significantly more data to be stored, processed and
transferred using minimal systems resources, which can result in lower
hardware bill of materials costs and extended battery life in portable
devices. Unlike many open source data management technologies, DeviceSQL is
commercial grade, higher performing and has already enabled the creation of
production-ready applications deployed inside award-winning mobile phones,
set-top boxes, in-vehicle infotainment systems and netcom equipment.
"In today's complex devices such as mobile phones, portable/in-dash
media centers and set-top boxes, efficient content integration and data
management are essential to providing a compelling user experience while
minimizing hardware costs," said Theresa Lanowitz, founder of voke, Inc.
"Traditional approaches to data management involve painstaking custom
coding and rarely leverage the proven benefits of relational and stream
data models and data-centric design. With the increasing explosion of
content and metadata, it is critical for device manufacturers to employ
data in innovative ways to create more intelligent, user-friendly,
feature-rich devices."
"Device data management is not just about the efficient storage and
retrieval of data, it is about the use of data in real time," said Mark
Vogel, co-founder and CEO of Encirq. "DeviceSQL was built from the ground
up with one goal -- to enable devices to efficiently leverage data created
by the device, flowing through the device and accessible by the device to
increase its independent intelligence, capabilities and usability for
users. Now, DeviceSQL is even better because it allows our customers to
solve tough data management problems once and easily deploy these
capabilities across entire classes of products."
Encirq is demonstrating DeviceSQL in the Disruption Zone at the
Embedded Systems Conference in Boston, on September 26-27, 2006 in Booth
#1137B.
Availability
DeviceSQL Release 3.0 will be available worldwide in October.
