EveryWare expands Web/database UNIX development; EveryWare continues to develop Tango Enterprise on Unix platforms with support for IBM/AIX and SGI/IRIX.

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 15, 1997--EveryWare Development Corp. today announced their continued commitment to the UNIX environment by providing an upgrade to their Sun Solaris version as well as support for Silicon Graphics' IRIX workstations, IBM RS/6000 and Apple Network Servers running AIX.

Tango Enterprise, EveryWare's Intranet Rapid Application Development tool, enables Web developers to create dynamic Web-based applications that integrate SQL databases and legacy applications.

Extending their UNIX support EveryWare is also developing Tango Editor for use on Silicon Graphics workstations. The Motif editor will enable SGI developers, as well as developers using Solaris and AIX, to use Tango's visual development environment to create enterprise-wide intranet applications. These applications can be deployed on Web servers running Sun Solaris, Silicon Graphics' IRIX, IBM RS/6000, Apple's AIX Network servers, Windows NT, and Macintosh.

"We have strived to provide our developers with the most scaleable and robust Web development tool in the industry," said Don Reith, director of product development EveryWare Development Corp. "We have succeeded in providing enterprises with a very scalable and robust application server. The architecture of our UNIX application server enables us to successful compete in the intranet marketplace."

Tango Enterprise enables developers to build a wide range of Web-based applications that link Web servers to industry standard SQL databases. With this continued support for the UNIX environment Tango Enterprise becomes the only Web/database application to provide point-and-click ease of use to UNIX developers.

Tango Enterprise 2.1 provides a direct connection to industry standard databases such as: Oracle, Sybase, Informix, and SQL server resulting in better performance and cross-platform compatibility, lower implementation costs and improved support for native database features. Tango Enterprise continues to support ODBC compliant databases enabling integration to databases such as: FoxPro, Acces, Paradox, DB2, Butler SQL, etc.

Direct database communication

Tango Enterprise 2.1 for UNIX utilizes EveryWare's advanced database adapter technology, allowing the Tango Application Server to communicate directly with database servers while eliminating the need for third-party ODBC drivers. The package includes database adapters for Oracle along with support for Informix's CLI. Support for Sybase and SQL Server will soon follow. Adapters for other databases, including IBM's DB2, will be available in the first quarter of 1997.

EveryWare's adapter technology makes it possible for Web/Database environments to process traffic in the most demanding intranet and Internet sites. For example, the server can invoke any number of separate database adapter sessions, allowing it to process many simultaneous database requests. For even higher processing loads and faster throughput, database adapters may be run on separate computers, including directly on the host DBMS machines.

Large Electronic Commerce applications

Web sites built with Tango Enterprise include online shopping systems, corporate directories, inventory management solutions, online requisition forms, product and pricing catalogs, and event registration.

One of the largest Tango Enterprise-developed applications is the Bank of Montreal's Investor Line site http://www.investorline.com/, which provides sophisticated investor services. Tango Enterprise is used to make remote calls to a quote provider, then dynamically handles the content of numerous data feeds. The bank also uses Tango Enterprise for investor portfolio tracking, updating an investor's information database with real-time quotes from a quote provider. Tango Enterprise provides 100 percent session management, keeping track of information on individual investors as they travel through the site.

Price and availability

Tango Enterprise 2.1 for UNIX will be available directly from EveryWare in March 1997, priced from $5,000. Tango Enterprise is available on Windows NT/95, Sun Solaris, SGI IRIX, IBM/Apple AIX, and Macintosh.
