How is SelfReliant’s database different than an application state database?
Typically, application state databases are feature rich, fully relational, and provide support for standard interfaces such as ODBC and JDBC. The GoAhead database has less functionality but is performance optimized for fast read time for access by multiple applications. If the design objective is to aggregate management data from throughout the system to a single management node, an application state database may be the preferred choice. If the design objective is to provide SNMP or web-based access/control to management data for each system node, or to provide local, automated fault management for that node, then GoAhead’s database may be the preferred choice. GoAhead supports either design choice.
