The Cloudscape Product Line
Cloudscape offers the following products for development and deployment:
-
Cloudscape 3.0
Cloudscape is the core product. Cloudscape (without any of the Cloudscape options) allows you to build the following types of applications:
-
Applications with Cloudscape as a built-in, zero-administration data manager for single-user applications. To deploy these applications, you must purchase single-user deployment licenses.
-
Applications with Cloudscape as a built-in data manager for multiple-user application servers. In addition, Cloudscape comes with a lightweight server framework called RmiJdbc, which you can use with applications of this type. A customized version of a freeware product, it provides limited server framework capabilities. Cloudscape includes row-level locking, but the application servers must provide their own network security. To deploy these applications, you must purchase deployment licenses for multiple users.
-
Applications that are target databases in a distributed synchronization system (you must purchase the Cloudsync Option for a complete system, which needs the source database capability).
-
Cloudconnector Option
A full-featured server framework add-on that provides JDBC and HTML connectivity for Cloudscape. It allows you to develop and deploy client/server applications that connect to Cloudscape over the network. The framework supports multiple users or a connection pool and can also act as a Web server that allows you to run Cloudscape in a servlet. It provides security of access to JDBC clients; servlet use of Cloudscape is protected by servlet registration requirements.
To deploy the server and client applications, you must purchase the multiple user deployment licenses.
-
Cloudsync Option
Cloudscape with synchronization source capability. Use it to develop and deploy distributed systems for multiple applications in which Cloudscape is embedded for local data management. These applications can occasionally connect to a source Cloudscape hub, which synchronizes data across the system.
To deploy these applications, you must purchase deployment licenses.
