For flexibility of application development, c-tree database technology has long offered single-user standalone technology as well as multi-user standalone and client-server based models. With its stability and data integrity, c-tree database technology is embedded in thousands of standalone applications on desktops everywhere. As applications grew from workstations to small workgroups, multi-user features were easy to add and deployment remained an effortless challenge with the multi-user standalone model.
Moving from standalone to client-server technology is almost as easy. The FairCom Database Engine offers unparalleled multi-threaded performance for larger workgroups requiring even more advanced features. With only a few lines of application code modification and configuration of clients to communicate to a central server on the network, the FairCom Database Engine brings a rich array of enterprise class features for large workgroup settings.
Many standalone applications have pushed the limits of standalone c-tree technology and can no longer grow as their needs expand. Many other existing standalone applications have grown to require the more advanced features of the full FairCom Database Engine, such as SQL support, dynamic backups and advanced data encryption. The challenge for application developers has been how to bridge this gap.
Other standalone applications have pushed the limits of the development license. Our standard development license prohibits the use of the standalone operational model in an application that acts as a server. While building an application server with the standalone model may be technically appealing, this approach can result in license infringement.
Introducing the Dynamically Loadable FairCom Database Engine, or Server DLL. The Server DLL offers a cost effective, easily deployed solution to bring full client-server features to existing standalone applications. Quickly overcome confining standalone limitations:
The Server DLL is truly the best of both worlds: feature packed server options with embedded deployment ease.
The FairCom Database Engine brings many advantages to existing applications. Need to avoid a costly client-server network upgrade? Developing an application server model requiring an advanced database engine? Require support for multiple users coupled with the safety of transaction processing? Desire advanced features found only in the FairCom Database Engine?
The multithreaded Server DLL becomes the perfect fit and allows you to quickly bridge the transition. The Server DLL delivers fast multithreaded performance by avoiding additional network overhead - it links directly to your application. The Server DLL model can also be the cost effective solution with reduced hardware and network requirements, effortless deployment, as well as a discounted pricing schedule. Check out all of the advantages the Server DLL offers.
