CONNX features a native Linux/UNIX implementation of the proven CONNX SQL Engine, enabling Web services and Java applications to access enterprise data as a single virtual database. Mixed platforms are no longer required, reducing complexity and cost for the enterprise application developer.

The CONNX SQL Engine provides real-time and simultaneous access to a wide array of relational and non-relational data sources. The Linux/Unix platform makes use of the CONNX JDBC server, which plugs in to the CONNX pure-Java JDBC Driver. Organizations that use Linux or AIX as their primary operating system in the back office can deploy applications that store data on an open system, on mainframes, and on Windows. CONNX can be deployed behind Web servers in Linux or UNIX environments with no additional server hardware.

CONNX has been an essential tool for many years for organizations that want to preserve their investment in applications relying on ODBC and JDBC access methods and legacy data. The CONNX technology has traditionally been Windows-based, designed to function as a gateway to Java data sources. Developers using CONNX have been able to access and integrate legacy data with standard SQL-based technology, thereby extending the functionality of their current Java applications and avoiding costly migrations.

For developers, CONNX enables the use of a Windows platform with Microsoft’s SQL Server 2005 or Linux/UNIX platforms for total data access.
