ANDREA MANDEL “Oracle is clearly investing in the Oracle TimesTen product going forward.” haven’t been quick enough for us to get the visualizations we needed in a timely fashion,” says Roger Sumner, senior vice president in the Aspect Software Office of Technology. But speed wasn’t the company’s only consideration. The database also needed to perform all of the essential data organization tasks of traditional information management systems, including replicating data, sorting through it, and retrieving information for reporting tools. “We looked for a fully functional relational database that could be used in an embedded setting,” Sumner says. An added bonus is that as a long-time Oracle customer, Aspect now works with a single vendor for both Oracle Database and Oracle TimesTen. “If we’re looking for consulting help, we can go to a single team,” Sumner says. “And we see staying power. Oracle is clearly investing in the Oracle TimesTen product going forward.” LIGHTWEIGHT IMPLEMENTATIONS The Riverbed Central Management Console (CMC) configures and manages Riverbed Technology’s Steelhead appliances and embeds Oracle Berkeley DB to hold traffic and performance data about each device on a network. The information ranges from details about performance from five minutes ago to historical trend summaries that span months or years, says Riverbed’s Wu.

It has such lightweight requirements that it doesn’t steal away important processing power.” Wu also appreciates the database’s “very clean” APIs, which were easy for developers to understand and which enabled them to integrate the product into Riverbed’s existing technology framework in only a couple of weeks. Quick development time was critical because Wu and his staff were under a tight deadline to roll out the CMC. To accomplish this goal, Riverbed tapped the Oracle technical support staff to apply integration strategies that worked for other customers to the CMC project. “Oracle support folks are top-notch, and it was very easy to get us up and running very quickly,” Wu says. � Alan Joch (ajoch@worldpath.net) is a technology writer based in New England who specializes in enterprise, Web, and high-performance-computing applications.
