Three Tenets
Avanta meets the needs of local, national or global companies with, geographically distributed facilities generating volumes of data
from security and facility infrastructures. Thus, Avanta follows three tenets: modularity, scalability, and extensibility.
Avanta allows modular growth in low-cost increments. Most of the system infrastructure has no associated
licensing costs, and is astoundingly robust.
Scalability, the ability to meet increasing workload without significant infrastructure investments, is accomplished by the modular design.
Our architecture is network-based and uses parallel computing concepts for a seamless operating environment.
The Avanta architecture is based onsystem principles for rapid scalability and
easy extensibility. This type of system can communicate easily with other applications
that share similar industry or manufacturer protocols.
Object-oriented Design
'Object-oriented' is a method of software-development that groups related functions and data into reusable chunks. This streamlined programming can greatly reduce time spent on software development.
Tested code is easily reused, and new components are succinctly tested to trace errors to specific entities. Also, object-oriented design
allows maintenance to be performed by an engineer other than the original coder.
PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL (written and pronounced as Postgres) is based on the Ingress database engine, which was developed at the University of California at Berkley ). Postgres is technology
developed by an online consortium of developers. Other developers can make changes and advertise the enhancements. This license-free software makes programming more efficient and is cost-effective for
Avanta end users.
Our analysis found that the combination of running Oracle at the Vigilos Vault and Postgres on the front-end appliance was an optimal combination that takes full advantage of the most advanced database technology available today.
