SOLARIS X86 SOLUTIONS
NobleNet EZ-RPC for Solaris x86
EZ-RPC(TM), the UNIX(R) component in the suite of client/server
development tools from NobleNet(TM), Inc., is now available for
SunSoft's Solaris(TM) x86 operating environment. EZ-RPC greatly
simplifies client/server application development and the
conversion of standalone applications to the client/server model,
often without re-coding or re-architecting the application.
NobleNet tools use remote procedure call (RPC) technology to
represent interactions between clients and servers as procedure
calls across a network. With EZ-RPC, programmers accustomed to
procedural coding can easily understand and use RPCs without re-
tooling or re-training.
Once the subroutines have been designated as running either
locally or remotely, NobleNet tools automatically generate the
client and server stubs and the middleware source, outputting
clean, readable, commented C code. NobleNet's tools work with two
widely used RPC libraries: NFS-RPC, included in products sold by
more than 300 vendors, and TI-RPC, bundled with Novell NetWare(R)
and with every copy of UNIX System V Release 4, including Solaris
x86 and Solaris SPARC(R).
A Stable, Open Platform
Solaris x86 is a powerful and versatile UNIX operating environment
for the Intel(R) x86 platform. Designed as a foundation for
enterprise computing, it supports major industry standards and
provides high-performance 32-bit UNIX multitasking, multithreading
and multiuser capabilities. Solaris x86 is compatible with Solaris
SPARC, ensuring full interoperability between the leading CISC
(x86) and RISC (SPARC) platforms. And Solaris x86 is scalable from
desktops to supercomputers, so that customers can configure
heterogeneous enterprise networks and expand them easily as their
computing needs evolve.
Solaris x86 provides native ONC+(TM) technology-based LAN and WAN
networking to support broadly distributed computing and system
management. Solaris also includes powerful application and
Graphical User Interface (GUI) development tools through the
OpenWindows(TM) facility, and a rich suite of user productivity
applications under DeskSet(TM). Numerous commercial third-party
applications, including many Microsoft(R) Windows and DOS
applications, run on the Solaris x86 environment.
EZ-RPC Features and Benefits
* Any 3GL or 4GL programmer can quickly
develop client/server applications, bringing the skills of costly
network programmers to application programmers
* Simplifies RPC programming, easing the
development of client/server applications and conversion of
standalone applications to the client/server model
* Simplifies development of shrink-wrapped
off-the-shelf network applications
* Allows conversion of standalone
applications to client/server without source code modification
* Cuts development time by up to a 10-to-1
factor
* Shields programmers from low-level
communications coding issues
* Compilers parse C header files, getting
typedef and enum information
* Generates C language RPCs automatically,
outputting clean, readable, commented C code
* Generates 7 RPC types: Synchronous,
Nowait, Batch, Callback, Broadcast, Datagram and Virtual Forking
* Using command line switch, generates
either ONC/RPC or TI/RPC, generated code is more stable than
manually coded RPCs
* Passes complex data types (e.g., pointer
to array of pointers) across a network
* Patented memory management process
prevents client memory leaks
* NobleNet Tools Suite includes WinRPC for
DOS/Windows and RPCware for Novell environments, allowing
interoperability with Solaris servers
