At the heart of IOCORE`s customisable spatial and business data integration solution is Macromedia`s JRun Java Application Server technology, facilitating rapid implementation of business intelligence solutions over a Web environment and integrating traditional data with rich media such as geographical data and business documents.
Dubbed Cartagena, the solution is a suite of components that consists of a Java Engine used for building business objects, a Query Builder for rapid and flexible interrogation of data, a Library for storing and content-searching business documents, a Bulletin Board for collaboration and a Map Viewer for displaying business data spatially.
Paul van Niekerk, technical consultant at IOCORE, comments: "Cartagena has been developed specifically to meet demand for a solution that empowers analysts and senior managers to make informed decisions in real time, using all the information at their disposal."
Jeremy Matthews, MD of DaxData, says Macromedia JRun 4 was well suited to IOCORE`s needs: "It provides a reliable J2EE 1.3 compatible platform that is compliant with the latest standards, clustering technology and Web services integration."
Consequently, Cartagena was built using J2EE technologies and designed to run on a three-tier architecture: an Oracle database in the back-end, a Web browser in the front-end and a J2EE-compliant application server (JRun) as the middle tier.
"JRun is currently being used in a production environment where its reputation as a reliable and fast Java application server solution is being borne out," says Van Niekerk.
