• Polyhedra is a main-memory, object-relational database that is ideally suited for mission-critical applications requiring event-driven, real-time responses to data changes, complex database designs, distributed applications, and fault tolerance for high availability and continuous operation.

  The Object-relational database can contain objects that handle IP-based protocols, with object methods running in the database process itself and accessible to other objects/information stored in the database. Our own web site, www.polyhedra.com, provides an example of Polyhedra, acting as both the web server and the information store, including free downloads available for trying Polyhedra on FreeBSD in Linux mode.

• PolyServe is a vendor of Understudy, a high-availability webserver monitoring and failover utility for FreeBSD. Understudy resides on two or more webservers and monitors the health and responsiveness of websites. In the event that Understudy detects a failure, it fails-over requests for the failed website to a backup server. Thus, people browsing the website see no interruption or delay; from their standpoint the website keeps right on working.

  Understudy monitors IP services including HTTP, SMTP, TCP and FTP. Upon detection of a failure, Understudy removes the failed server from the cluster and fails-over to the secondary backup host. Understudy then generates a network-administrator notification via email and/or page so that whatever problem caused the failover can be remedied.
