eSpatial ANNOUNCES COMPATIBILITY WITH ORACLE DATABASE 10g

eSpatial, a leading spatial information management company, announced that its iSMARTR product suite is compatible with Oracle Database 10g. As part of the Oracle 10g beta program, eSpatial tested iSMART, its flagship geospatial product for business applications, with Oracle 10g and is ready to upgrade customers from Oracle9i to Oracle Database 10g technology, which is now available.

"eSpatial is one of our top EMEA partner organizations to have successfully beta tested Oracle Database 10g," commented Bertram Mandel, senior director of alliances and channels for Oracle Europe, Middle East and Africa. "Spatial technology is a focus area for Oracle and we are pleased that eSpatial is one of the first geospatial information management companies to harness the power of Oracle Database 10g. It will simplify database administration and management and enhance eSpatial's customers' experience."


Web services, utility computing, .NET, CPU harvesting and distributed computing are just a few of the technologies that fall under the Grid computing umbrella. Gt04 -- a premiere enterprise Grid computing conference targeting industrial and commercial users -- will gather experts, and outline strategies and road maps for Grid deployment.

Grid computing is here!


eSpatial's iSMART spatial application development and deployment platform has been developed to provide embedded spatial capabilities in enterprise applications using standard IT technologies including Oracle's Spatial database and Oracle Application Server. This was the case for releases based on Oracle8i, Oracle9i and now Oracle Database 10g. iSMART provides out-of-the-box support for advanced features such as Web-based spatial editing, occasionally connected offline spatial interaction and Live Feeds which work seamlessly with Oracle Database10g.

"Oracle Database10g introduces new spatial data capabilities, such as geocoding and topology, in the database environment, and therefore extends the addressable market for spatial information management solutions to a broad enterprise base," said Philip O'Doherty, CEO of eSpatial. "Our spatial development and deployment product provides unparalleled seamless support for the Oracle Spatial platform, and we welcome the increased level of support that we can now give to our existing and growing customer base. This will open up new opportunities within the broader IT market for spatial solutions."

Oracle Database 10g is the first database designed for emerging enterprise Grid computing, a cost effective and flexible way to manage enterprise information.
