VSI OpenVMS Bootcamp 2024 was a three days event by the end of October, at the Marriot Long Wharf Hotel in Boston.

Mimer SQL was represented by CTO Bengt Gunne, who had received two speaking slots: one on an overview of Mimer SQL on OpenVMS and the second about the database security features of Mimer SQL.

As a major announcement as part of the overview presentation, mr. Gunne revealed the release of Mimer SQL version 11.0.8E — the world’s first production ready database management system for OpenVMS on x86. After 18 months of testing since the beta version last spring, this version was officially unveiled at the Bootcamp.

As the first database in the world, Mimer Information Technology has today unveiled a production ready release of the acclaimed  relational database management system (RDBMS) Mimer SQL.

Version 11.0.8E has been simultaneously released on x86-64 and IA64 (Itanium) and is the result of 18 months testing since the beta release last spring.

With its unparalleled feature set and stellar performance is this release the pinnacle of today’s database technology, Mimer SQL version 11 was a major rewrite and this version is probably the most efficient RDBMS on the market, and is the result of years of research, optimizations and inventions.

In June made ETAS and Mimer a webinar together, about our cooperation to provide a more flexible and scalable data management solution for AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform.

ETAS version of AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform, RTA-VRTE, contains an option to install Mimer SQL as the persistence layer in this standard. This solution enables an OEM to build on the data inside Adaptive applications and extend those outside the world of AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform and into the realm of analytics and knowledge modeling, without changes to the originating Adaptive application.

For more information about this cooperation, or the ways to extend your existing applications with modern data management solution, please contact us.

ETAS has in a press release announced that the latest version of ETAS RTA-VRTE is now available in AWS, as was revealed during CES 2024 (https://www.etas.com/en/company/press-releases-ces-2024-accelerating-development-and-operations-of-automotive-software.php).

This release, as previous, contains Mimer SQL as an improved implementation of the persistence functions within AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform, the so called Persistence Functional Cluster, adding advanced data management functions to a fundamental part in the foundation for the modern Software Defined Vehicle.

The way to try this exciting new functionality is to get access to the starter kit, previously only available as a VirtualBox image, but now also as an Amazon Machine Image. All details can be found at https://www.etas.com/en/products/rta-vrte-starterkit.php where more details about the Mimer SQL integration can be found.

Mimer Trust, the joint venture between Mimer Information Technology and Trustonic, adds a number of novel security features to the already very security focused relational database management system Mimer SQL.

By leveraging the Trusted Execution Environment, a special feature of the ARM processor architecture where cryptographically signed and verified applications can run in a Secure Enclave outside the normal world of the standard operating system, an installation of Mimer SQL alongside Trustonic’s Kinibi can provide new and very secure means of storage security and data verification.

Mimer Trust in its basic form allows certain tables to reside within this Secure Enclave, totally transparent to the application, but where data origin and integrity can be guaranteed.

By its nature is the storage capacity limited inside the TEE but by combing these two technologies this symbiosis, in addition to the storage inside the TEE, allows any data of arbitrary size to be cryptographically signed and managed with the effect that it is possible to create a data store where any undetected manipulation is impossible. Mimer SQL has by this cooperation the unique ability to store data tamper proof, in what is commonly referred to as a ledger, where this ability is securely based on hardware capabilities.

Mimer Information Technology is very proud to be part of this new development as it serves to cement our commitment to the embedded market, especially in the med tech domain, and as an acknowledgment of Mimer SQL’s outstanding performance and reliability. Being a zero-maintenance database we are ideally suited for such an application where the database is designed to serve the needs of a complex solution, and to be left alone for years without any degradation issues. Also the fact that Mimer SQL is fully 64-bit means that it is well up to the task of managing the huge amounts of data that is involved in this type of applications with unsurpassed performance.

At ETAS Connections 2022 on September 20 and 21 in Stuttgart will Karl-König Königsson from Mimer give a talk on how Mimer SQL can be used in automotive applications.

Mimer SQL, the world’s fastest and most modern database, is so much more than a simple data storage, and can add sometimes surprising value to a software defined vehicle, which will be the topic for this session.
