Informix and Psion are collaborating to ensure that the Informix Cloudscape database runs on all Psion`s current Java-based products and the EPOC-32 operating system.
"By adding Informix Cloudscape to the Psion platform, we are now able to offer application developers a great database for building an advanced Java application environment. We are looking forward to a strong collaboration with Informix in which we jointly work with the Java developer community to get their applications running on Psion products," says George Grey, president of Psion.
"This combination provides a platform to allow Psion developers to build advanced enterprise and consumer applications for Psion users, which connect to Internet and intranet servers using any of the popular protocols," says Julian Field, Cloudscape product manager for Informix SA.
Cloudscape is database management solution based on Java technology that addresses the requirements of the occasionally connected computing professional. Cloudscape`s products are the first to allow companies to create smart distributed applications that serve the needs of the remote and often disconnected workforce and extend applications outside the normal IS boundaries.
The Cloudscape technology not only gives mobile workers real-time access to Web and corporate data, it enables them to continue to work with this information from any location, even while off-line.
Additionally, using the Informix Cloudscape synchronisation technology, application developers can also build Java applications that can automatically synchronise over other networks. Highly sensitive data can be encrypted to ensure the privacy and confidentiality of any data transmitted via the hand-held device. Cloudscape is available for the Psion 5mx, NetBook and in the future, the NetPad.
