Centura Software will announce Monday its eSnapp connectivity
software , which links applications running on "information appliances"
with corporate applications and databases. Information appliances
include handheld and palmtop computers, smart phones, and even
devices such as vending machines and gas pumps with built-in
intelligence.
Armus, a Burlingame, Calif., manufacturer of health care software , has
been testing eSnapp by providing the Centura technology to doctors at
cardiopulmonary clinics who gather patient data on handheld computers
and use eSnapp to transmit the information to a central server for
follow-up processing and reporting.
Centura will also announce Monday the latest release of its Raima
Database Manager embeddable database software . RDM 5.0 includes
the addition of "re-entrancy," which lets multiple processes simultaneously
access database code, provides enhanced cache synchronization, and
adds improvements to the lock manager that regulates concurrent access
to the database.
The eSnapp technology will be in limited production this month and
generally available in the first quarter of 2000, priced at $4,999 per
server and $249 per client. A developer's version of RDM 5.0 will be
available for $1,395, while deployment versions will be priced according
to configuration. An integrated eSnapp/RDM package is expected to be
available in the second quarter of next year.>>
