Question Tell us about your architecture. How do you handle performance and scalability?   Answer We support a true thin client architecture and can deliver to both two tier and three tier models. We offer our clients a choice as to how they want their application to scale. As it is a data-centric application, much of the performance and scalability has to do with the database and how we handle database calls over the Internet. The architecture has been designed to be capable of massive scale. By separating the three fundamental components, we are only limited by hardware. The initial access point can be clustered and load balanced, while the middle tier is controlled with posting to multiple, scalable back-end databases. We developed the business database component to work with any ANSI SQL database environment. The technology also offers EJB-based deployment options for load balancing and greater security.   Question On the subject of databases, would you consider yourself an enterprise integration product?   Answer Absolutely. The SOA4 technology can connect to virtually any database. Therefore, it can integrate databases residing in different departments, different offices in far-flung locations, serving up business data to employees when and where they need it. So, with SOA4 we actually facilitate system integration. Prev | Next
