EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW [+]

1

ODBC Router™ is turn-the-key software that automatically connects all Macintosh, Linux and Windows systems in your enterprise with every database on your mainframe, Unix/Linux, Windows, Mac and embedded (PBX, Security, etc.) servers using a standard called ODBC.

2

ODBC Router™ eliminates countless hours of proprietary database configuration work on each user machine or webserver in your network. Under ODBC Router™, all complex and expensive client-side ODBC drivers and network libraries (OCI, etc.) are simply replaced with our single, self-contained and free OverDriver™. The overdrivers work with the ODBC features already built-in to your existing applications and transparently relay their database requests to your databases via the offical database client-software installed on a central Windows box.

3

Without ODBC Router™, connectivity to non-Windows devices is typically lost (or undermined) during database server upgrades because third-party developers must revise and re-certify their non-Windows database hacks. But because ODBC Router™ technology relies on the database vendor's trusted Windows drivers to complete non-Windows database sessions, virtually any server-side database upgrade or security patch may be installed without suspending connectivity to non-Windows devices.

4

ODBC Router™ operates with binary efficiency, eliminating data conversions that saturate shared server resources in competitive products. By leveraging the native client-side CPU power ODBC Router™ eliminates the need to maintain CPU and RAM consuming Java Virtual Machines and JDBC drivers (or dangerous experimental hacks) on every client in your network, a factor especially important to laptop users where slower system buses and drives prevail.

5

The unique architecture of ODBC Router™ supports not just every type of enterprise database system (from dBase to ORACLE Clusters), but virtually every release of every database system ever produced. Even legacy database systems (more than 13 years old) are supported simply by adding an established after-market Windows ODBC driver to the PC hosting your network's ODBC Router™.

6

ODBC Router™ can easily and freely be linked-in to your in-house or off-the-shelf apps on any platform so as to eliminate any need your end-users (or techs) might otherwise have to touch the ODBC control panels of each machine in your network, regardless of future configuration changes in your database topology.
