San Francisco, CA. and Beaverton, OR. - March 10, 2004
THOUGHT Inc.®,
The Dynamic O/R Mapping™ Company, announces the tight integration
of GemFire®, the industry's leading high performance data services
solution from GemStone Systems with CocoBase® Enterprise O/R,
the market leader and award winning Dynamic Object to Relational
Mapping™ tool. The combination of two best-of-breed Java tools
focused on providing high-performance data is a win-win for customers.
GemFire's innovative solution for data distribution, caching and
management tightly coupled with CocoBase's® dynamic mapping
solution for persisting relational data provides two major components
of an enterprise-level IT data architecture. Together these systems
provide the developer easy to use tools that greatly simplify and
cut the cost of building high-performance J2SE and J2EE applications
a reality.
"Integrating
two best-of-breed tools such as GemFire for data caching and distribution
with CocoBase® for object to relational mapping provides customers
an excellent choice for managing their enterprise-level data needs",
said Richard Lamb, president of GemStone Systems.
The GemFire
solution delivers high performance data distribution and data management
benefits and reduces system costs, a top concern for chief architects.
GemFire's pervasive interoperability improves the utilization of
an enterprise's infrastructure, diminishes development time costs
and makes many large technology investments, such as additional
hardware, databases and storage, unnecessary.
"Enterprise
customers need top-level solutions for managing data," said
Ward Mullins, CTO of THOUGHT Inc. ® "Combining the masterful
data persistence features of CocoBase® with the expertly designed
data caching and management features of GemFire provides enterprise
development teams with the flexibility and capabilities needed to
successfully complete their projects."
CocoBase®
Enterprise O/R is a vender neutral Dynamic Object to Relational
Mapping™ layer that sits on top of the JDBC driver between
the application objects (often running in an application server)
and the database (which is usually a relational database for most
modern IT organizations). CocoBase® manages the persistence
and retrieval of data (sometimes referred to as the exchange of
data) from the application to where it is stored in the relational
database.
CocoBase®
takes the database specific code and prewritten SQL out of the object
and saves this information to the mapping layer (i.e. map). Thus
decoupling the object from being hard coded to the database. The
database specific code and SQL is dynamically created at runtime.
This allows objects to be easily reused over and over. This dynamic
layer provides a multitude of performance and scaling optimizations
that are easily changed by the programmer to best fit their specific
needs.
