Device Data Insight
  CEO VIEW   
 

Sir Howard Stringer, CEO of Sony, recently stated, “The bridge between the content and hardware is software”. But building that software bridge is getting harder and harder as the amount and complexity of content and data explodes. Too often, products come to market late, functionality is curtailed or hardware needs to be resized to meet performance requirements. More memory, faster CPUs, higher bill of materials costs. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Enter DeviceSQL™ Release 3.0, a major upgrade to Encirq’s next generation software framework for implementing device data management solutions. We invite you to read through this month’s industry articles for insight into critical device software issues and how DeviceSQL can help you build the bridge to more compelling products.

  INDUSTRY ARTICLES  
  Embedded Data Management Grows Up  
  Managing large volumes of complex data is commonplace in enterprise applications. But today’s embedded devices also need to manage growing volumes of content, data and metadata from a growing variety of sources, and they need to manage this data within strict performance specifications and resource limitations. Read why prevailing approaches to embedded data management are no longer adequate and how new device data management techniques and technologies help you deliver superior products.

  Getting the Boot  
  Slow boot times on PCs are annoying. Slow boot times on other electronic devices such as mobile phones, printers and portable navigation systems can be just as annoying and create a negative impression of an otherwise competitive product. Read this article to discover a few tips and tricks for improving boot times—or the impression of boot times—and think carefully about more efficient ways of managing data to improve boot performance.

  An Integrated Modeling Approach to Solving System and Software Problems  
  Managing the complexity of today's device software applications requires an approach that can provide a common model for systems and software developers to share throughout the design process. While the article does not specifically address the role of device data management, you can learn more about the benefits of the Model-Driven Development approach.
