Do you need operational data collected by QNX production systems to become available to users of Microsoft SQL Server database?

If so, then consider deploying Empress Software's new product, Empress DB Pipe.

Why EMPRESS DB PIPE?

Availability of operational data in a corporate database is simply a "must" for many organizations. However, if QNX is the platform of choice for managing real-time production operations and Microsoft SQL Server is the corporate database, then it may be difficult to serve up QNX based data to Microsoft SQL Server. This is where Empress DB PIPE comes in. Users of the corporate database can employ Empress DB Pipe to gain access to the data residing on the QNX platform within the familiar scope of MS SQL Server queries. In other words, when Empress DB PIPE is installed, MS SQL Server users have the appearance of QNX operational data residing in MS SQL Server. The same technology also makes it possible for operational data stored on the QNX platform to be replicated into MS SQL Server database.

How does it work?

Besides Empress DB PIPE, there is a requirement for two customized applications: one on the QNX operating system, the other on Windows. You submit your requirements and specifications for data that needs to be transferred from QNX to WINDOWS. With your agreement to the initial analysis by Empress consultants, Empress Software delivers a complete solution that enables a continuous data transfer of operational data from QNX to MS SQL Server.

The final product includes: Empress DB PIPE license, customized applications, installation and testing of all components, and telephone and e-mail support for 5 working days.

How much is it?

The base product price is US $1,995 and it includes up to 30 different data fields to be transferred from a single QNX system to a single MS SQL Server database. Connection of each additional QNX system with the same data fields costs US $395. Other system configurations can be available upon request.

What are the requirements?

• QNX o/s version 4.X or QNX RTP with TCP/IP support
• Windows NT or Windows 2000 with TCP/IP support
• TCP/IP network connecting QNX and Windows systems
• MS SQL Server 2000 with SQL Server ODBC driver
