HexMac previews Rhapsody version of Web database HexBase
The new powerful Web Publishing Solution is shown first time to the public at the Internet World exhibition in Sweden, the main Internet event of the year in Sweden.
HexMac Software Systems today announced, that they have ported the UNIX-based high-performance Web database to Apple's upcoming Rhapsody OS, which will complement Mac OS by providing advanced cross-platform solutions for servers and high-end desktops.
HexBase on Rhapsody has a graphical user interface for the Web database administration and controlling.
"We have been developing for Macintosh platform for years, and are very excited about the new way Apple is going with Rhapsody" says Dieter Pfenning, Technical Director of HexMac Software Systems. "This will take Apple to the enterprise-level customers, and we will provide exciting Rhapsody applications for them", he continues.
HexBase is a database that has been spezially designed for Web purposes. The HexBase technology and its modules are used by several sites of the leading publishing companies such as The Detroit News, Axel Springer Verlag, Gruner & Jahr, BURDA, Telia, Aftonbladet, Medstroems and Dagens Telecom.
An extensive reference list proves that HexMac software Systems has to be considered as one of the world leaders in Web database technology for publishers.
The powerful HexBase technology is based on an integrated HTTP daemon and an extremely secure and efficient script language HBS. This approach ensures very short retrieval times and the fast delivery of Dynamic HTML even at peak times.
The power of Rhapsody will enable HexMac Software Systems to exploit the whole potential of the HexBase software concept. Together they deliver a new level of performance by optimizing the processing power for the Web server database users.
The developers of HexMac Software System think that the Rhapsody platform is an adequate base for the building of interactive, cutting-edge Web database solutions for large publishers. Moreover, the team profits from an extremely elegant programming model that allows them to develop Rhapsody applications at a minimum amount of time.
