OrientDB’s Version 2.1 is a second generation distributed graph database with the flexibility of documents in one product with an Open Source commercial friendly license (Apache 2 license).
OrientDB is capable of storing 220,000 records per second on common hardware. Even for a document based database, the relationships are managed as in Graph Databases with direct connections among records. Users can traverse parts of, or entire trees and graphs of records in a few milliseconds. Supports schema-less, schema-full and schema-mixed modes. Has a strong security profiling system based on user and roles and supports SQL amongst the query languages. Thanks to the SQL layer, it's straightforward to use for those skilled in the relational database world.
Key new features of OrientDB 2.1 include:
- Enhanced Security: Auditing functionalities facilitate adoption of OrientDB in highly regulated Environments. OrientDB Enterprise Auditing allows customers to track Change, Read, Update and Delete (CRUD) operations on every object. Polymorphic auditing allows objects to inherit auditing directives, further simplifying policy definitions.
- 24x7 Support Services Available Globally: OrientDB is formally switching to a 24x7 support offering to cover around-the-clock requests. "Solid support is critical when deploying enterprise class software" said Luca Garulli CEO of Orient Technologies. "We now stand ready to help our customers at any time, day or night, including weekends and holidays."
- Rock-solid Stability: Thousands of users have tested 2.1 in highly concurrent environments with extremely large datasets. Extensive feedback, focused effort and six release candidates made this version the best ever. “Customers and community have been cooperating with us in the entire development cycle and helped us to battle-test this version in disparate use cases” said Luca Olivari, President. “We won’t rest on our laurels, but 2.1 greatly expands our addressable market and use cases.”
- Performance: Thanks to the contribution of hundreds of users OrientDB has improved the speed on queries and traversal. Also, the amount of RAM needed to traverse large portions of Graphs is much lower than with 2.0.
Additional new features include live queries, multiple inheritance, and a new SQL parser. Starting from 2.1, OrientDB is a full reactive DBMS. Thanks to the Live Query feature users can receive updates from OrientDB in “push”, rather than polling the database. This approach scales much better when there are thousands of users who need real time updates.
