BASE ONE GETS PATENT FOR DATABASE-CENTRIC DESIGN.Base One International Corporation, New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of , N.Y., a leading supplier of rapid application development software for Microsoft Visual Studio Microsoft Visual Studio is Microsoft's flagship software development product for computer programmers. It centers on an integrated development environment which lets programmers create standalone applications, web sites, web applications, and web services that run on any platforms .NET, has received another U.S. Patent for its high- performance database technology. This patent covers a method of constructing fault tolerant The ability to continue non-stop when a hardware failure occurs. A fault-tolerant system is designed from the ground up for reliability by building multiples of all critical components, such as CPUs, memories, disks and power supplies into the same computer. , loosely-coupled services, using databases from Microsoft, Oracle, IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) , Sybase, and MySQL. Base One's unique, "database-centric" design simplifies application programming, while providing a higher degree of reliability, efficiency, and scalability than conventional approaches to distributed processing The first term used to describe the distribution of multiple computers throughout an organization in contrast to a centralized system. It started with the first minicomputers. Today, distributed processing is called "distributed computing." See also client/server. . Cluster and grid computing grid computing, the concurrent application of the processing and data storage resources of many computers in a network to a single problem. It also can be used for load balancing as well as high availability by employing multiple computers—typically personal systems traditionally have relied upon a layer of message queuing technologies to distribute and coordinate work across multiple processors. In mission-critical database applications, it becomes necessary to introduce a global transaction monitor, which can significantly reduce performance and scalability. The Base One Foundation Component Library (BFC BFC Buffalo Field Campaign (West Yellowstone, Montana) BFC Betty Ford Center BFC British Fashion Council BFC Bicycle Friendly Community BFC Bible Fellowship Church BFC Boavista Futebol Clube ) eliminates the need for specialized messaging functions, enabling distributed processing queues to be managed more reliably and efficiently, without the drawbacks of a global transaction monitor. "What we've done is to exploit the core strengths of today's commercial database systems, especially with regard to efficient transaction processing Updating the appropriate database records as soon as a transaction (order, payment, etc.) is entered into the computer. It may also imply that confirmations are sent at the same time. Transaction processing systems are the backbone of an organization because they update constantly. ," said Steven Asherman, president and Chief Technology Officer of Base One. "By devising a service-oriented architecture that addresses end-to-end transactional integrity, we've made it much easier and less expensive to build highly reliable, large-scale applications." BFC is a comprehensive RAD framework of components and tools for building web and Windows database applications, as well as back office processing and data interchange between systems. Employing a distinctive, cross-platform data dictionary, it provides enhanced security, optimization, and maintainability, making it easier and quicker to develop robust, scalable applications. For over ten years, Base One customers have successfully used BFC for low cost, database-intensive, distributed computing. About Base One International Base One International Corp., headquartered in New York City New York City: see New York, city. New York City City (pop., 2000: 8,008,278), southeastern New York, at the mouth of the Hudson River. The largest city in the U.S. , has been providing software consulting services since the company's founding in 1993. With an outsourcing subsidiary in Bangalore, India (founded in 1997), Base One has served the U.S. Government, Fortune 500 companies, and a variety of fast- growing, mid-sized firms in finance, insurance, media, health care, and communications. Base One has successfully completed projects for Deutsche Bank (custody reporting for over $50 billion in securities), Marsh & McLennan (commercial insurance risk management package sold to more than 400 corporate clients), and Competitive Media Reporting (a leading ad tracking Web site that reports expenditure and occurrence data to ad agencies, advertisers, broadcasters, and publishers). Base One is recognized for its work in high-performance database technology and distributed computing, earning a reputation for creating exceptionally fault-tolerant, scalable systems. The company holds a number of U.S. patents, with additional patents pending. An outgrowth of Base One's consulting has been the development and continual refinement of the Base One Foundation Component Library (BFC), a RAD framework for working with Visual Studio to build secure, "industrial strength" applications that can easily and efficiently accommodate different DBMS (DataBase Management System) Software that controls the organization, storage, retrieval, security and integrity of data in a database. It accepts requests from the application and instructs the operating system to transfer the appropriate data. products and network configurations.
