New Products
Infoflex has announced Linux ports of its database products ESQLFLEX, INFOFLEX, and ACCOUNTFLEX.
ESQLFLEX is a low-cost clone of the Informix-ESQL/C product. It allows software developers to build, modify, and query databases using standard SQL calls from a C program, and allows developers to completely replace Informix-ESQL/C without modifying the application. ESQLFLEX is available for $695.
INFOFLEX-4GL is similar in syntax to Informix and is 100% compatible with the Informix-SE database. INFOFLEX is easy to modify through its consistent WYSIWYG approach to programming menus, screens, and reports and through its many powerful built-in features designed to reduce coding. INFOFLEX is available for $995.
ACCOUNTFLEX includes modules for Sales, Purchasing, Inventory, Jobcost, Payroll, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, and General Ledger. Each module costs $795 with source. Executable versions may be distributed for $150 per module under an OEM license.
Infoflex Incorporated can be reached at (415)697-6045 or at 840 Hinckley Road, Suite 107, Burlingame, CA 94010.
Quadralay Corporation has announced the release of the Linux version of its development environment UDT for C/C++, a software tool that greatly simplifies the design, implementation, maintenance, and management of C and C++ source code and documentation.
“We believe that Linux will bring the Unix operating system into the mainstream,” said Jeffrey Stockett, Quadralay's Chief Technical Officer. “For the first time, an individual can run a complete Unix implementation in his or her own home... ...Linux is fast, reliable, and best of all, free. Therefore, we are offering UDT for C/C++ on Linux at a special price, one which will make it available to anyone who wants it.”
UDT for C/C++ consists of five components:
A drag-and-drop tool manager that allows developers to integrate existing tools into the UDT environment easily
A powerful C++ class browser with a rapid prototyping capability
A fully-integrated object-oriented editor
A complete C source code browser
A hypermedia-based source code librarian and authoring system (for $50 additional)
UDT for C/C++ is available for $99 without the hypermedia GWHIS Viewer, and $149 with GWHIS Viewer.

Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the “typical” Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?
