c-treeACE Professional Features

Why c-treeACE Professional

Choose c-treeACE Professional when your application demands the advanced features found only in the c-treeACE Server SDK, or the control of traditional standalone database technology embedded in your application, or anytime you require precision control that only having the source code in hand can provide.

c-treeACE Professional includes the latest advanced c-tree engineering technology:

Server SDK	The c-treeACE Server SDK allows you to take control of the c-tree Server. Consider the Server SDK for binding the server technology directly to your application as a bound model.
Server Side Plugins	c-treeACE Server Side Plugins give you the capability to add additional functionality to the server via dynamically loadable modules. Consider Plugins when you require a custom function not readily available with the standard API calls.
Standalone Technology	c-treeACE Professional provides standalone database technology for use in unique low level advanced applications.
Source Code Control	Complete client side, standalone, and many server side modules are provided in full source code allowing integrated debugging and advanced engineering control of your application.
mtree Build Tools	Enhanced graphical utilities are provided to configure and build the standalone libraries and custom servers with c-treeACE.

A Proven Database Engine

Precision Control — The unique architecture of c-treeACE gives developers the ability to use record-oriented ISAM APIs and relational SQL APIs within the same application.
Unmatched Performance — A highly developed caching subsystem, minimal overhead requirements, and a sophisticated indexing mechanism ensure optimal performance whether you're using a handheld device or an enterprise-class server. Our customers routinely compare the performance of c-treeACE to that of traditional "enterprise" databases and find that c-treeACE easily comes out on top.
Cross-Platform Support — Cross-platform support has always been a hallmark of c-tree database technology. We commercially support over 30 platforms out of the box—including Windows, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, Linux, and Mac OS X—and regularly port our technology to meet precise customer demands. If you've got a C compiler, we've got a solution.
Choice of Operational Models — Whether your application requirements demand a single-tier embedded database engine, a traditional 2-tier client/server model, or a multi-tier solution, c-treeACE has an operational model to meet your needs.
Simple to Deploy — Simple installation, minimal disk and memory requirements, and truly invisible operations make c-treeACE the ideal solution for ISVs and other developers looking to simplify their deployment.
Robust Feature Set — We give developers the tools they need for success, including industry-proven transaction processing support, 64-bit support, stored procedures, replication, encryption, memory files, Unicode support, and more!

FairCom Technology Overview

eNewsletter

Follett Software Company utilizes FairCom technology as part of their Catalog Plus and Circulation Plus library automation systems. Catalog Plus offers powerful searching of entire library collections including books, periodicals, audio and video files, eBooks, and a host of other media.

Follett's Circulation Plus system is designed to minimize the work associated with circulation and inventory management by automating these tasks. This includes routine circulation tasks that are typically performed by hand such as checking-in and checking-out books, calculating fines, sending overdue notices, and processing renewals. Circulation Plus puts complete inventory control in the hands of the librarian.

The portability and flexibility that has been part of FairCom's reputation for over 20 years have been fundamentally important to FSC. c-tree Plus' native support for multiple platforms, including Windows, Novell Netware, and Apple Macintosh, means that no changes are required in the database code when moving an application to different operating systems. The c-tree Server's heterogeneous networking allows FSC's engineers to implement Catalog Plus and Circulation Plus on different server platforms while supporting clients using any combination of Windows and Mac operating systems. FairCom handles all data conversions between the various operating systems and allows FSC to concentrate on what its customers need from the application and how to deliver it most efficiently.

The c-tree Server's client/server architecture allows FSC to maximize performance since database operations take place on the Server machine, thus reducing network I/O common with other databases. Clients access the server only when requesting data and only the results travel across the network, not the entire data search detail. In addition, FairCom's full-featured transaction processing assures that vital data will be preserved even in the face of a catastrophic failure, such as a machine crash or power failure.
