EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW [+]

1

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

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 database features built-in to your applications and transparently relay their requests to a central Windows box (or virtual machine) running ODBC Router™ and your database vendor's official Windows client software.

3

Without ODBC Router™, upgrades to your database server (which may be critical if they also involve security patches) can permanently disable access from your non-Windows computers (while third-party developers must "actually" revise and re-certify their non-Windows database hacks). With ODBC Router™, the database vendor's trusted Windows drivers are extended to complete all non-Windows database sessions, so virtually any server-side database upgrade or security patch may be installed without impacting your non-Windows computers.

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 netbook users where slower system CPUs, buses, memory and drives prevail or to web servers which need to save their precious cycles for heavy ASP, PHP, PERL or Ruby interpreters.

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 17 years old) are supported simply by adding your database vendor's recommended after-market Windows ODBC driver to the PC or Virtual Machine 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.
