Benchmarking the Versant Database Engine and MySQL with the FOKUS Open IPTV Ecosystem
Databases for managing and controlling IPTV content are indispensable for an IPTV
platform. In this application domain, the database must provide fast access to rather
complex data, easy integration into an ever evolving application code, and support
massive concurrent access from potentially millions of consumers. Choosing a database
for such a system and the reasons this choice serve as the subject of this paper.
Benchmark Report: VOD in the Telecommunications Industry
Telecommunications operators are facing great performance challenges in their current
operation environment using an RDBMS. When processing huge amounts of Call Data
Record (CDR) objects, the existing system operated by one of the leading Chinese
telecom operators was quickly running out of server resources. To avoid additional
hardware investments the operator turned to Versant to evaluate a more efficient
database solution.
Objects, Databases and the Myth of Serialization
Authors quite commonly?and incorrectly?refer to the process of serialization asAuthors
quite commonly and incorrectly refer to the process of serialization as part of
what is happening when an object database stores an object or object graph. This
white paper debunks that misperception, and sets the record straight about the efficiency
of object databases as brought about by the avoidance of serialization.
VOD 8.0 and Solid State Device Performance Analysis
This white paper analyzes under which circumstances VOD can benefit from the high
I/O performance of Solid State Devices. In this white paper we are especially interested
in data that show which parts/files of a database - system volume, data volumes,
logical log and/or physical log - should be stored on an SSD and which ones need
not be in order to maximize performance gains.
Advanced Data Management for MMOG (Massively Multiplayer Online Gaming)
The whitepaper explores the challenges in delivering an MMOG solution for the data
layer and describe how the Versant Database Engine delivers on the capabilities
required by these incredibly demanding applications.

Database Scalability and Clustering ? How Data Clustering Can Benefit Performance
This white paper addresses the issue of data clustering and how optimal clustering
can benefit performance by improving application scalability. The subject of relational
databases is visited briefly, but the emphasis of this article is on client/server
architectures built around an Object-Oriented Database Management System (ODBMS).
Which Database is Right for the New Information Systems?
The purpose of this document is to show how to build scalable information systems
(IS) for highly scalable transaction-based business applications on the Internet,
using best-of-breed technologies to deliver new functionality that encapsulates
and leverages investment in existing data sources and services.
