The Polyhedra Family of Database Management Systems
Powered by Polyhedra
Polyhedra is a family of compact, lightweight, high-performance SQL relational database management systems (RDBMS). Built on an ironclad client/server architecture, Polyhedra and Polyhedra FlashLite provide a secure data repository for embedded systems, network equipment, mobile devices and server-based applications demanding the utmost in performance and reliability. Polyhedra supports real-time operating systems as well as server-level operating systems running on a variety of hardware platforms.
Optimized for Embedded Systems and Server Environments
Data management is a key factor in the design of any embedded system. Polyhedra was developed from the ground up to address the data management needs of embedded applications, combining the benefits of standard SQL database technology with a powerful set of features that enhance reliability, performance, memory efficiency, and data quality. These features make Polyhedra ideal for a broad range of embedded applications, from fault-tolerant distributed infrastructure systems, to mobile devices with tight memory and power constraints. They also make Polyhedra attractive as a high-performance, high-availability relational database for server-level systems.
Data Management, Part of Enea’s Total Solution
Enea recognizes the need for integrated data management services as part of an overall solution for advanced software platform development. That’s why Polyhedra works hand-in-glove with Enea’s operating system and middleware products. And that’s why Polyhedra is an integral part of Enea’s system-level platforms, which provide an out-of-the-box solution for applications ranging from mobile handsets and servers, to telecom network infrastructure systems.
Business Benefits
Tuned for High Availability or Low Memory
The Polyhedra family provides an optimized high-reliability SQL database solution for a broad range of embedded applications, whether the priority is high availability or low memory.
Reduces Time To Market
Using a commercial, standards-based database like Polyhedra simplifies modeling and design, and requires fewer specialists, all of which speed development and reduce development cost. This is particularly true for distributed applications that run on heterogeneous hardware and operating system platforms.
Speeds Distributed Design and Simplifies Upgrades
All products in the Polyhedra DBMS family can communicate transparently with each other, regardless of the platforms on which they are running. We also ensure different releases of the software work together. This not only simplifies the design of distributed applications that require multiple RDBMSs, but also provides a seamless upgrade path that enables equipment makers to take advantage of the latest database technology without having to make substantial changes to their existing application code.
Lowers Maintenance Costs
Data consistency and integrity can easily create problems over time if not addressed properly with a suitable data management solution. The days when a database was regarded as overhead for embedded systems are long gone. With Polyhedra’s unique combination of reliability, tunable high performance and other advanced features, data management need no longer be a maintenance burden.
