25 September 2008 — FairCom Corporation, a leading provider of high performance database technology, announced the immediate availability of the latest generation of their proven database development toolkit, c-treeACE Professional, in conjunction with new releases of their high performance c-treeACE database servers. This release marks a debut of enhanced productivity tools, a full featured ADO .NET Data Provider and numerous new deployment options.

c-treeACE (Advanced Core Engine) is designed to increase the productivity of development teams by offering a shorter learning curve, a rich assortment of productivity enhancing tools, and a multitude of application programming interface technologies. Based on FairCom’s proven c-tree database engine, c-treeACE offers a focused solution that allows developers to be up and running in a matter of minutes. Aggressive pricing models make it easy for ISVs and other developers to deploy applications using the c-treeACE engine.

c-treeACE Professional (formerly the c-tree Plus Professional Edition) is ideal for the experienced c-tree developer. It offers a sophisticated database solution for sophisticated applications. c-treeACE Professional provides a wide range of development options to meet the needs of advanced applications including a Server SDK for customizing the database engine with the ability to link the multi-threaded engine directly to your application for utmost performance. It includes single tier operational models and full client-side and partial server source code. New and enhanced interfaces include ADO.NET, LINQ, C#, dbExpress, and PHP.

The release of c-treeACE Professional follows the release of c-treeACE Express earlier this year. c-treeACE Express provides an easy entry point to FairCom’s database technology by offering free development rights. A free SDK is available for immediate download from www.faircom.com.

“c-treeACE brings advantages at both business and technical levels,” explained Grant Robbennolt, FairCom’s Director of Marketing. “We now have enhanced productivity tools for the developer, better performance for the application, and easier deployment models to satisfy the needs of even more markets. It’s a win from every angle.” FairCom’s c-tree database technology has been in commercial use for nearly 30 years. The performance offered by its rich record-oriented ISAM and relational SQL interfaces have made it an ideal solution for banking, manufacturing, and other OLTP environments.

Numerous additional features are also included in this release, and additional details can be found at www.faircom.com.

Availability

c-treeACE Professional is available for immediate purchase. The c-treeACE SQL Server, the database server component of c-treeACE, is aggressively priced to meet the needs of ISVs and others requiring a high performance database engine. The traditional c-treeACE ISAM Server also remains a smart choice for specialized applications such as integrated embedded projects that would benefit from an embeddable database engine.
