THE DATABASE FOR DEVELOPERS

Innovation for a Strong Defense from the Leader in Technology

Intelligence and defense agencies are Defense Industry Database challenged with supporting, processing, Developers Turn to Versant and enabling accurate decision-making Versant, the leader in object databases, based on rapidly growing and complex gives developers the agility to rapidly data systems. Military forces demand develop and deploy powerful intelligent systems for command and applications capable of managing control, battlefield simulation, weapons complex defense and intelligence guidance, and wireless communications. information in mission-critical Intelligence agencies rely on rapid environments where traditional database assimilation of relationships between technologies often fail. disjointed data points and objects so that Not surprisingly, database developers analysts can make informed decisions. are faced with creating defense and intelligence systems of increasing complexity. These systems require Versant provides superior deeper hierarchical data models, data management solutions parallel architecture, higher scalability to more than 25 classes of and real-time performance, and military programs the inclusion of stringent and often complicated business rules. • Intelligence Gathering and Analysis Systems • Joint War Fighting Initiatives • Land Command Systems • Weapon Guidance • Battlefield Simulations • Missile Guidance Systems • Satellite Reconnaissance • Battlefield Command and Control Systems • Geospatial Imaging • Cyber Command • Fraud Detection • Defense Training Systems • Weapons Information Systems • Knowledge Management • War Games Applications • Secure Directory Services • Weather Forecasting • Aircraft Simulation Training • Wiretapping Applications • Integrated Warfare Systems

1 Versant Transactional Data Management Solution The Agility, Speed, and Scalability to Manage Complex Persistent Object Models

Simply Superior Developer Agility: Versant eliminates speeds and mapping, significantly increasing simplifies the work of defense industry developer agility when implementing developers by combining caching, complex, object-oriented data models. mapping, and database technology into Performance-Oriented Scalability: a single superior online transaction Versant object-oriented, balanced processing (OLTP) solution. Just as client-server architecture effectively data warehousing has proved superior Versant supports multi-user, mission- handles required persistence services, to relational database structures for critical applications in distributed providing scalability, while managing arge-scale online analytical processing computing environments. Database availability and performance (OLAP) requirements, the Versant 3-in-1 administrators are able to store, manage, requirements created by increasing OLTP solution fully supports real-time and distribute information in real time concurrency and growing data volume. transactional applications and provides that often cannot be administered As a result, Versant significantly reduces unmatched performance when effectively through traditional relational development time and improves compared with relational database database technologies: system performance. management systems coupled with No ORM mapping, for optimal Cloud Ready: Versant breaks down the transparency – Reduces application cache acceleration technologies. barrier to data locality management in code by up to 40% cloud-based auto-scaling architectures, ++, JAVA, .NET Higher concurrent throughput with providing seamless map reduce CLIENT fewer CPUs – Reduces cloud server CACHE for cloud deployments via parallel- costs by up to 50% distributed queries with auto MONITORING OBJECT INSPECTOR ADMINISTRATION XML TOOLKIT Leverages parallel processing— aggregation.

Versant Object General Dynamics Advanced Technology The U.S. Marine Corps relies on General Database serves as the repository Systems (ATS) uses Versant Object Dynamics decision support applications for each class of data, which can be Database as the foundation for mission- to create real-time tactical pictures retrieved at high performance speeds, critical decision support applications— for its Operational Maneuver from the and without mapping. CDFSII use of Battlespace Information Management Sea (OMFTS) concept. OMFTS uses simplified code improves developer Systems and DARPA Ship Systems Versant to fuse amphibious ship and agility and, subsequently, the ability Automation (SSA). Versant merges landing force maneuvers to create and to deliver higher resolution forecasts massive amounts of battle management exploit opportunities in time and space more frequently, and with greater decision support data with multiple to seamlessly project amphibious power accuracy. battlefield location data to create unified ashore. The system provides naval defense plan that recommends tactical platforms with a broadband wireless placement of air defense assets from network and situation-appropriate land and sea. Leveraging Versant knowledge to handle mission critical technology, the SSA program was responses. able to reduce U.S. Navy Aegis-Class General Dynamics Area Air Defense cruiser Combat Information Center Commander (AADC) capability solution crews by 90%. uses a similar Versant-based decision “The tailored CDFS II cloud support system for U.S Navy air defense information we provide to operations. In addition to helping create the Intel community help a unified air-sea defense plan, AADC reduce casualties and automation technologies and innovative greatly increase the odds maintenance and support techniques help reduce manpower requirements that a military operation and lower the total cost of ownership. will succeed.” — Major Jeff Cox, Chief, NICWB Air Force Weather Agency
