Does CI-Links object technology allow to distribute objects over a network ?
Yes. DOA, CI-Link’s object architecture, has been developed from the beginning with the capability of distributing objects over a network. This allows to set up an homogeneous information system above an heteregeneous system composed of different OSs and DBMSs. This also allows to ease the setting-up of clustered applications. Finally, and more simply, this allows to very easily set up data replication systems between various sites. When using a distributed objects architecture, communications between the various remote objects over the network are transparent. This eases the writing of applications in which such communications are many. CI-Link offers a very easy setting-up of application servers (designed to publish objects), then accelerating the handling of this kind of architecture.
