Next generation database for Embedded systems

BANGALORE, INDIA: As prices fall and technology offerings are brought to market at break-neck speed, developers of fax machines, routers, point-of-sale terminals and other hardware devices are looking for ways to provide greater strategic value for businesses, often by embedding business intelligence features that allow the devices to interact with enterprise servers.

Some examples include vending machines that can inventory their stock and adjust prices for lunchtime rushes, photocopiers that call for support when they're down, even a coffee machine that starts brewing when you turn off your alarm. In the past designers of embedded systems have coded their own data management structures from scratch.

By using standard relational database and synchronization technology, these developers could add more sophistication to embedded devices to give a company more of a competitive edge. To make it easier to develop data-enabled embedded systems, Sybase is delivering an UltraLite deployment option for SQL Anywhere Studio, its leading mobile database solution.

Sybase's revolutionary analyzer technology enables engineers to easily customize the capabilities of the database to match the memory requirements of an application running on the embedded device. Plus Sybase's MobiLink server synchronization technology allows users to seamlessly synchronize data from the embedded device directly to any major enterprise database including Sybase, Oracle, and Microsoft.
