NewsBoss Technology Partner
FairCom Corporation
NewsBoss utilizes the solid, high-performance c-treeACE database technology from FairCom Corporation. FairCom c-treeACE provides the following advantages for NewsBoss systems.
Performance
FairCom servers are designed with performance in mind. With over 25 years of unwavering focus on database technology, FairCom has established itself as a leader in database performance and reliability. FairCom customers routinely compare the product's performance to that of other database solutions and find that Faircom’s technology usually comes out on top.
Scalability
The unique underlying architecture of FairCom servers enables easy scalability of NewsBoss systems from one to hundreds of users.
Zero Administration
IT personnel often ask about the database technology behind NewsBoss. Having had to deal with the tuning, security concerns, patches, and other maintenance rituals of competing database technology, experience has taught these professionals to be wary of introducing a new variable in their IT stack. What is important to understand is that FairCom technology has been developed from the ground up to require zero administration. Because the sophisticated technology of FairCom servers is transparent to the end-user, NewsBoss customers can simply install and configure a FairCom server, set up backups, and then leave it alone.
Security Exposure
One of the side benefits of a zero administration database with distributed deployment through Independent Software Vendors like Desktop Technologies is that technology of FairCom products flies under the radar of persons with nefarious intent. This provides FairCom with the benefit of being less of a security target than other database providers such as Microsoft or Oracle. Consequently, FairCom is proud of the fact that they have not had to release a security patch to date.
Reliability
FairCom customers from Federal Express to NASA routinely rely on a 25+ year history of providing state-of-the-art database technology. With hundreds of millions of end-users storing their mission critical data within FairCom databases, the reliability history of FairCom products is outstanding.
