Versant Object Database 8.0
Transforming disruptive technologies into powerful applications
Maximum Complexity in the Database Tier
The complexity of telecommunications infrastructure, transportation networks,
simulations, financial services, online gaming networks and other domains is one of
the most challenging aspects for the application developer.

Functionality
Application models are complex, often hierarchical, and continue to evolve together with
the business. It is difficult and time consuming during development and expensive at run
time to map application objects into a relational database and performance suffers. Using
the Versant Object Database for data storage brings powerful advantages to application
developers that use complex C++ or Java object models, have high concurrency
requirements, and large data sets.
Agile Development w/ Native Object Persistence
The impedance mismatch between object oriented programming languages and traditional
relational databases is well known. There is a good reason why object to relational mapping
(ORM) frameworks, tools and technologies have emerged to “cover up” this problem. And
it is also well known that these ORM have their limitations, e.g., adding a significant
performance overhead, requiring constant tweaking and a fair amount of manual coding,
and not offering support to evolve the database schema.
For true agile software development, only native object persistence services, offered
by Versant’s C++ and Java APIs, will work and save up to 40% in development and
maintenance costs.
High Performance Transaction Handling w/Multi-Threaded
and Dual Cache Server Architecture
Versant offers all transactional capabilities of a robust Enterprise database, including
the support of ACID transactions, distributed two phase commit, interfaces to third party
transaction monitoring systems such as Tivoli, optimistic and pessimistic locking schemes
etc. Versant’s two level cache and multi-session/multi-threaded architecture is optimized
for today’s high performance multi-socket/multi-core server hardware and scale linear.

Big Data Management w/ Distributed Databases
Partitioning and replicating databases is important to horizontally scale out Big Data
applications. The Versant distributed server architecture allows the developer to design
database and server architectures that expand over time as the data volume and the
data access grows.
Mission Critical Deployments w/ Enterprise Toolset
Ensuring 99.99% availability of the Versant databases is accomplished with a number
of data center tools and technologies that can be deployed in addition to the Versant
Object Database.
Versant supports rigid service level agreements (SLAs) in mission critical industries
such as telecommunication, transportation and financial services.

Business Continuity
Versant FTS is a hot stand by back up server that continuously maintains the identical
state of the primary server via a coordinated distributed two phase transaction protocol.
Therefore FTS can take over database operations within a configurable timeout measured
in seconds.
In addition, all database maintenance tasks such as backup and reorg can be performed
while the database server stays online.
Disaster Recovery
In the unlikely event of a database server failure or a natural disaster that may shut down
the data center, Versant provides additional backup and stand by options to support off
premise operations (e.g., operated in a different geographic location) as well as tools to
restart an aborted database server in as little time as possible.
