Brainwave at Advantage AP

Brainwave will be at Advantage AP summit organized on 1st and 2nd March 2011 at Hyderabad. The summit is attended by national and international visionaries from IT and ITeS industry, infrastructure providers, Speakers/CIOs/CTOs from diverse sectors representing leading companies and high-level policy makers from the Government for interaction with the Industry.

We will be taking a stall at the summit, and discussing with the delegates on the products and services Brainwave has to offer. You can check the details of the event here.

The free SDK is available for both Linux and windows.

Praising the whole team, Prateek Sureka, Vice President, Technologies said “I am pleased to report that the new version of Brainwave is more stable and is higher in performance than previous versions, many new features were added and significant changes were made from version 1.1. I thank all the Brainwave users for their extremely valuable feedback and suggestions without which the release could not have been possible, and the entire Brainwave team for putting their hearts and brains into the new version.”

The Poseidon Database, which is at the core of the platform, aims to be the turning point in database design. Poseidon is a schemaless database, which eliminates the data modeling process from the development life cycle completely. Giving developers the fastest “time to start”, ease of making modifications and unparalleled code maintainability, thereby reducing the applications total cost of ownership, and allowing the devs to focus on what they do best – write code, rather than worry about the minutia of managing infrastructure.

JUnpickler: This is a Java based unpickler for Python pickle data. The idea is that you can serialize some data in Python and then get the string into Java and deserialize it to get a Java object.

The code is released under the Eclipse Public License v1.0 (EPL). It’s one of the least restrictive licenses I could find.

After operating in stealth mode for nearly a year, I am happy to announce the Indian launch of the ‘Brainwave Platform’ at Infocom 2006 in Kolkata, India. The first release is a developer preview. Since a part of our development team is based in Kolkata and it is an upcoming IT destination, we thought it would be appropriate to start here.

Infocom 2006 was held at the Salt Lake Stadium from December 6-10, 2006. Brainwave was the brand sponsor for the Innovation Hub, a pavilion that showcased the top 30 innovations made by students across the globe. Also represented at the show were the folks from Intel, Siemens, Wipro and others.

Preparing for the launch was gruelling but fun. We all made many mistakes and learnt from them. The team camped at the venue for a few days with the contractors to ensure that the Brainwave booth was ready on time. Inspite of some technical and logistical problems, we got the job done.

Our Technology Architect and founder, Prateek Sureka addressed the industry leaders as a speaker on December 8, 2006. He spoke on the shortcomings of relational and object oriented database models and highlighted some of the research trends. He also said a little about our own patent pending information architecture.

Overall the event was a success and had people from various parts of the globe attending. We received some great reviews, coverage in the local media, accolades on our stall design and generated a number of enquiries. We got great feedback on Prateek’s presentation and the live demo applications created in under 30 minutes by the dev team manning the booth. My Q&A sessions in the booth were also very productive and I hope I was able to whet the appetite of potential employees, development partners and end users alike.

It would be unfair on my part to not talk about the excellent efforts put in by some of our India development team and Marina who had flown down specifically from the US for the event. I will be posting those as well as some details of our lives during the launch, images, scanned articles and what we learned from our experiences as a subsequent post. Look forward to all your comments and feedback.

Cheers!
