The AsterionDB Digital Bunker℠
Do you rely on the Oracle Database? Are you like thousands of others that build mission critical applications and store valuable data in the database? If so, then you appreciate how Oracle excels at protecting your data.
But, you’ve also got data in the file system. What if you could easily move that data into the database, would you do that? If you could design a new architecture where all of your data is kept in one secure, efficient location, would you embrace that technology? Of course. That’s a no-brainer! It’s undoubtedly going to be more secure, easier to maintain and more efficient.
That’s exactly what AsterionDB is. A platform that lets you build applications where all of your data and logic are in one place; safe and secure.
If this is interesting to you we have a lot of great information for you to soak up on our website. We have an easy on-ramp for you and deliver value and features that no other platform can approach!
What Problem Does AsterionDB Solve?
- Modern software architectures are complex and inefficient, placing too many resources in the middle-tier
- This leaves assets vulnerable to ransomware and cybersecurity attacks
- AsterionDB® merges all data and business logic at the data-layer
- We turn the middle-tier into an elastic, security isolation layer
- AsterionDB® is a highly efficient environment to build, develop and test secure software architectures at the data-layer
Why Do I Want To Use AsterionDB?
AsterionDB migrates all of your unstructured data to the Oracle Database and allows you to pivot away from the insecure, legacy file system. AsterionDB provides a wide array of features and capabilities. Years of development and refinement have been invested to make the transition easy. By leveraging the powerful capabilities of the Oracle Database, AsterionDB delivers the following benefits:

The NoFS Initiative by Tim Robertson, V.P. of Technology
The contemporary file system’s organization traces its roots back to the early days of electronic computing, organized similar to the physical filing system it was intended to replace. The physical location of a file is a leaf in a hierarchical tree structure. Security is applied at the level of the container and enforced, typically, through the honor system.
Installing the AsterionDB Digital Bunker
Getting starting with AsterionDB on the Oracle Cloud Marketplace is easy. Experienced users can have a system up and running within 20 minutes.
Ingesting Content From Object Storage
What do you do when you have a bunch of content in an archive file that you need to ingest into AsterionDB? Simple, just unpack the archive file into AsterionDB’s drop directory!
This short video shows you how easy it is to ingest content directly into AsterionDB. One of the useful features in AsterionDB is our ‘drop directory’. Any file that you copy to the drop directory gets ingested directly into the database. We even capture metadata such as the full pathname, creation date etc.
