Db4o in Strategic Alliance with Prosyst

Db4objects, the open source object database, has tied up with Prosyst, which reportedly owns 50% of the commercial OSGi market

Db4objects, the open source object database, has tied up with Prosyst, which reportedly owns 50% of the commercial OSGi market, meaning db4objects gets a crack at a swat of automotive, mobile carrier, house alarm and such like implementations.

Db4object gives widgets persistence, which means users are less likely to lose data.

It's adapted ProSyst's native Java object database to OSGi specifications and released an OSGi-specific distribution. ProSyst, in turn, has adopted db4o as the standard object persistence package in its mBedded Server Professional Edition and as an optional package in its Equinox Edition.

ProSyst will be the single point of contact for sales.

Eclipse is based on OSGi and OSGi, a Java-based service platform that can be remotely managed, is the only Java spec developed outside the Java Community Process that Sun recognizes.

ISGi Alliance members include Nokia, Motorola, BMW, Samsung, Deutsche Telekom, VDO Automotive and Philips.
