   FastObjects is truly built to provide data management for maintenance free applications , said Trygve Aaby , software manager at OnFiber. FastObjects does not require ongoing performance-related administration , and the administrative API even provides 'hot backup' , which allows FastObjects to continue storing and accessing data during an automated backup. We feel that FastObjects is playing a significant role in helping OnFiber deliver a solution that is fast , reliable and flexible..

   "FastObjects is truly built to provide data management for maintenance free applications," said Trygve Aaby, software manager at OnFiber. "FastObjects does not require ongoing performance-related administration, and the FastObjects administrative API even provides ‘hot backup', which allows FastObjects to continue storing and accessing data during an automated backup. This means Liaison requires no maintenance from our IT staff since there is no reason to stop the Liaison server."
   
   • Need to manage an extremely complex object/data model
   
   OnFiber's management application stores an incredible amount of detail about their network: Every strand of fiber, port, card, rack, on up to the building that contains the equipment is modeled by Liaison.

   According to Trygve, "We could not have gotten our application to work with a relational database. The shear volume and inter-connectivity of our data would crush the performance of an RDBMS because of the number of JOINS that would be required. Also, relational tables are an unnatural fit for our real world object oriented model. We would have had to write thousands of lines of mapping code to fit our objects into a relational model."
   
   Companies that provide software to increase the efficiency of real-world assets choose FastObjects for two reasons: FastObjects easily stores the complex object oriented data needed to model the real world, and FastObjects' embedded features allow applications to run maintenance free. Store your real-world data using a database that requires no user-maintenance, use FastObjects.
