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.
Enhanced Security
Eliminate vulnerabilities in the middle-tier
Data-Layer Focus
Move critical resources to the database
Simplified Architecture
Reduce complexity and attack surfaces
Key Capabilities
Secure Unstructured Data
Use a relational database to secure unstructured data under application control
REST API Integration
Easily integrate into any appication with our comprehensive API
Virtual Machine Hosting
Run middle-tier virtual machines from the database and reduce VMWare licensing costs while increaing security
Zero-Trust Architecture
Implement key Zero-Trust goals with out comprehensive security model
AsterionDB Presents at the Confidential Computing Summit
AsterionDB is an innovative data management platform that operates on a unique model designed to streamline data handling and application development by using the Oracle database as a central processing hub. It is built around the premise that the database itself should be the primary location for all data assets, effectively eliminating the need for separate file systems and distinct storage solutions. By integrating file management directly within the database environment, AsterionDB minimizes the complexity and security risks associated with managing multiple storage systems and repositories. This model enables organizations to consolidate their data management, significantly reducing attack surfaces, enhancing compliance, and simplifying operations.

Advanced File Handling & Intrusion Detection
AsterionDB is an extension to the Oracle Database that makes it easy to manage unstructured data in the database. In this video we show you how spreadsheets can be edited directly in the database.
AsterionDB Briefs the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA)
AsterionDB briefed the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) on capabilities of the AsterionDB Zero-Trust Data Security Platform on July 6th, 2023.
Watch the video recording of this presentation. Its an hour-an-a-half long and full of information. We start off with a high level introduction and then go deeper in with a discussion of architecture features and several demonstrations of our capabilities.
