Extensive Data Access Coverage
|
- Extends access to data sources with limited platform or API access through SequeLink’s Socket component
- Data access for ODBC, JDBC, ADO, and ADO.NET
- One universal client component accesses all major relational databases—Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, and Sybase
|
|
Simplified Support
|
- Near-zero client administration – one universal data access component is installed on the client or application server, regardless of the brands of databases to be accessed
- Client installs and configures easily and prevents DLL conflicts and multiple DBMS vendor network stacks
|
|
Better Control
|
- Manager Tool for data access configuration, management, and live monitoring of users
- Remote configuration
- Single point of control for data access tasks
- Event traceability
|
|
Security
|
- SSL data encryption
- Kerberos-based operating system authentication for seamless integration with Single Sign-On Environment
- Tight integration with Windows Integrated Security and RACF on z/OS
- Multi-level authentication, including database, application, and host levels
- Enforceable read-only connections
- See Security Support Matrix for security features supported
|
|
Performance and Scalability
|
- Supports high-performance use of server shared resources (threads) while increasing the number of concurrent and connected users for large-scale demands
- Direct native access on the DBMS server for maximum performance
- Connection pooling
- Efficient use of server resources
- Configurable multi-threaded implementation uses a dynamic worker thread model
- Fetch ahead/record caching, packet chaining, and deferred execution minimize network hits
|
|
Flexible Deployment
|
- 2-tier and n-tier configurations
- Integrates with LDAP and JNDI for centralized connection and configuration information
|
|
