High-Performance 32 Bit ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET and OLE-DB Drivers that provide transparent access to remote databases from any compliant application. These include Desktop Productivity Tools such as Spreadsheets, Word Processors, J2EE applications, Client & Application Server Application Development Environments, Web based Database Publishing Tools and Computer Telephony Integration packages are just a few of the many products that can take advantage of our standards compliance.

The session rules book provides a policy based security scheme that is basically a logical data access firewall. It is described as such because it allows the system administrators to govern all the rules of engagement for OpenLink ODBC sessions and it does so across user accounts, client application, client operating systems, database names, machine aliases, a user defined rules domain, and any combination of these attributes. You can optionally encrypt all communication between the OpenLink Client and Server Components.

By implementing the Rendezvous service discovery protocol, as a result it is now possible to administer all of your OpenLink Data Access clients from one or more servers. The clients simply perform network lookups for the Rendezvous aware request brokers then bind/associate themselves with the servers, and all the client side connection parameter values are retrieved from the selected server prior to connection time.

HTML and HTTP based interface for configuring OpenLink server components. This implies that with an Internet connection, and the appropriate network access privileges, you can now administer your OpenLink server components (which also means your clients as a result of ZeroConfig support).
