RemObjects Software: Data Abstract 'Vinci'

Data Abstract 'Vinci' Overview

Data Abstract is the leading framework for building scalable and robust multi-tier database solutions using the .NET and Delphi development platforms.

Developing database solutions for today's environment involves much higher demands than it did just a few years ago. Customers expect reliable solutions that are secure against attacks, perform well across different-quality networks and scale well from individual to thousands or more users.

Data Abstract is the only multi-tier framework that provides an end-to-end solution for these demands and makes it easy to build scalable database solutions that live up to the requirements of today's distributed world.
