The RELEX team

The new version of Linter is an optimum solution for government organizations dealing with defense, law and order, for companies working with state organs, and firms for which security of commercial information is of critical importance.

Now all business entities have a choice: whether to use database servers of different vendors at traditional platforms (Windows, Linux etc.), or to introduce a certified DBMS on a secure operating system.

Previously, the uniqueness of NEVOD was due to the fullest analysis of connection graphs by the visualization method, and now NEVOD has also become the only data marts builder maximally protected from insiders, the main reason for confidential data leaks.

The new distributions are available on the "Download" page.

During these two days, the world leading DBMS vendors presented their reports focusing on the new functionality of their products and the future of the data warehouse market.

Mikhail Ermakov, the Chief Software Architect of RELEX, gave a talk on the topic “DBMS Linter in Real-Time Operating Systems”, about the unique capabilities of the Russian DBMS enabling it to function in real-time systems (asynchronous SQL queries, data sectioning, priority of queries, events, reliability mechanisms etc.).

Besides the capabilities of Linter, the features of various real-time OSs vere analyzed in this lecture. Special attention was devoted to some of the most interesting issues encountered by the RELEX team when developing DBMS for various real-time platforms.

As a conclusion, Mikhail outlined the goals of Linter development for the future, including the enhancement of the DBMS kernel using the microkernel technologies making it possible to update separate modules and add new functionality without stopping the DBMS.

In our partner program, we offer colleges and universities our products for educational purposes free of charge, as well as free consulting for lecturers at universities in which DBMS Linter and other RELEX products are included in the curriculum.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We heartily wish You and Your family happiness, well-being, health and luck.

May the forthcoming holidays bring the most positive and joyful impressions to you, and may the New Year 2008 be successful for you.

Let the plans be easy to fulfill, let the ideas be brilliant, and may the health always be splendid!

Happy New Year!

Warm regards,
RELEX team

The visitors of the RELEX stand showed enormous interest in Linter, a system with a unique combination of features: rich functionality, simplicity, reliability and easy embeddability.

One of the main tasks of today’s electronic device vendors is storing and processing large amounts of data without using external storage devices. The majority of modern DBMSs are perfectly suited for this purpose, but they occupy a lot of memory space and require administration.

RELEX offers a version of Linter that has all necessary functionality, but, nevertheless, requires minimum memory space, and is reliable, fault-tolerant and high-performance.

This solution will meet the needs of industrial technological complex vendors and household appliance developers. It will enable such companies to offer their clients a fully functional data warehouse that does not require any special knowledge or administration skills from the user. Linter provides, data storage, data processing and high fault-tolerance. If, for instance, the application was incorrectly terminated due to a power cut, Linter will restart automatically, without the user’s assistance. All user’s data will be restored automatically.

The new version of NEVOD, equipped with visualization tools, also arose interest among the visitors of the expo.
