AsterionDB: Revolutionizing File Management
The AsterionDB Converged Computing Platform migrates at-risk unstructured data and business logic from the insecure middle-tier to the data-layer, fundamentally transforming how secure applications are built.
Realizing Bill Gates’ Vision
We had a rich database as the client/cloud store that was part of a Windows release that was before its time. This is an idea that will reemerge since your cloud store will be rich with schema rather than just a bunch of files and the client will be a partial replica of it with rich schema understanding.
Bill Gates once envisioned WinFS (Windows Future Storage), which was eventually absorbed by SQL Server, as the future for file storage. AsterionDB finally realizes this vision, transforming how we manage and secure data.
Rich Schema
Cloud storage with structured organization rather than just files
Enhanced Security
Fundamental transformation for easier secure application development
Client Replication
Clients as partial replicas with rich schema understanding
The AsterionDB Philosophy
At AsterionDB, we believe the legacy file-system and operating-system paradigm is fundamentally broken and can’t be fixed. These deficiencies have lead to a cybersecurity crisis and unending software complexity.
