AcuServer® | High-Performance Remote File Server

There’s no doubt. Your data is one of your most important corporate assets. The information in your database runs the business, defines your customers, and helps you make strategic decisions. Instant, reliable access to your business-critical data is vital to your success. AcuServer—a high-performance remote file server—gives you access to corporate data wherever it resides. Whether your data is on Windows®, UNIX®, or Linux®. . . in a LAN, WAN, or Internet configuration . . . AcuServer can help you access it quickly and reliably every time.

AcuServer is a remote file-server technology that gives you safe, immediate access to indexed, relative, or sequential data, and object files in any TCP/IP network, including the Internet.

You specify the location of your remote data or object files in a configuration file on the client, and your customers or users run your ACUCOBOL-GT application on their local machine as usual. A memory-resident program on the server manages file I/O requests and executes them with a single network transaction, minimizing network overhead and maximizing performance.

In most cases, you do not have to change your existing code to use AcuServer, and you don’t have to recompile your programs. AcuServer lets you place data strategically in your network so you can use your computing resources more efficiently.

AcuServer gives your applications:

  • Transparent access to both remote and local files

  • Full function remote access from supported clients to all ACUCOBOL-GT indexed, relative, sequential, and object files

  • The ability to create and store indexed, relative, and sequential data files on any UNIX, Linux, or Windows server

  • The ability to access XML documents stored on remote servers, when used in conjunction with AcuXML interface

  • Full record locking capabilities

A key element of the extend8 family of solutions, AcuServer can be used alone or in tandem with all of the Acucorp technologies.
