Engineers at General Dynamics C4 Systems, Scottsdale, Ariz., needed a database for the battlefield analysis software they were designing for the U.S. Army. They found a solution in the Berkeley DB Java Edition, from Sleepycat Software in Lincoln, Mass.
The engineers will use the it to build CoMotion, the Java-based visualization and collaboration tool that is the basis of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Command Post of the Future (CPOF) program.
Soldiers in the Army’s 1st Cavalry and 3rd Infantry Divisions in Operation Iraqi Freedom use CPOF to enable multiple users to rapidly analyze information and share it across the battlefield. Those users’ information is stored in the CoMotion repository.
Off the battlefield, company leaders rely on CoMotion and Berkeley DB to make business-critical decisions by improving supply-chain visibility, providing comprehensive views of patient records, enabling financial monitoring and planning, and improving understanding of customer buying patterns.
Sleepycat Software makes Berkeley DB, an open-source developer database used for data management by companies including Amazon.com, AOL, Cisco Systems, EMC, Google, Hitachi, HP, Motorola, RSA Security, Sun Microsystems, TIBCO and VERITAS. For more information, see www.sleepycat.com.
