VERSANT CORP. IMPROVES JAVA-BASED ASYNCHRONOUS REPLICATION SOLUTION.Check Point Using VAR 2.1 With Primus For Improved Data Sharing The ability to share the same data resource with multiple applications or users. It implies that the data are stored in one or more servers in the network and that there is some software locking mechanism that prevents the same set of data from being changed by two people at the same time. Between Support Centers Versant Corp., the Fremont, Calif., maker of e-business infrastructure software, last week announced commercial availability of Versant Asynchronous Refers to events that are not synchronized, or coordinated, in time. The following are considered asynchronous operations. The interval between transmitting A and B is not the same as between B and C. The ability to initiate a transmission at either end. Replication (VAR) 2.1, an extensible, Java-based replication solution for enterprises. "VAR has been designed for highly distributed, heterogeneous environments Using hardware and system software from different vendors. Organizations often use computers, operating systems and databases from a variety of vendors. Contrast with homogeneous environment. such as global banks, trading systems The introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter.

"VAR is a core component of Versant's e-business platform allowing data cached in the middle tier (1) Generally refers to the processing that takes place in an application server that sits between the user's machine and the database server. The middle tier server performs the business logic. See application server and client/server. to be replicated for performance and reliability." VAR 2.1, now in beta test A test of new or revised hardware or software that is performed by users at their facilities under normal operating conditions. Beta testing follows alpha testing. Vendors of packaged software often offer their customers the opportunity of beta testing new releases or versions, and the with Check Point Software Technologies' call center application, is scheduled for production deployment next month. "Check Point Software uses VAR in conjunction with Primus software in order to more efficiently share data between our world wide support centers," explains Karl Ryan, database application manager at Check Point Software. "VAR has helped us meet our key design goals, which include accelerating the workflow process and enhancing data sharing between global sites in order to improve customer response and decrease operational costs." VAR is designed to be embeddable in applications and provides explicit as well as automatic replication. It supports N-way peer-to-peer replication that can be configured to be master-slave as well as symmetrical. Conflicts can be detected and resolved at designated sites. VAR 2.1 offers several new features, including performance improvements for high-bandwidth links and a manual replication option. IT also supports a rules-based policy for batching of replication transactions. Supported platforms include NT and Unix. |
