WHAT GENERAL OS PLATFORM
PREFERENCES DOES AEGIS FOLLOW?

Aegis leverages Microsoft technologies such as COM and .net extensively in its enterprise architecture, as well as the fat-client modules. The business logic components and clients are Microsoft-centric. The data layer may be either SQL Server or Oracle and can run on any OS supporting these platforms.

DOES AEGIS HAVE A THEORETICAL TRANSACTION LOAD LIMIT?

No. The infinite lateral scalability of the system enables theoretical handling of any load limit. Network traffic would become a theoretical barrier before any limit could be reached in the business logic.

HOW IS MY LICENSING CONTROLLED?

A single hardware key (USB typically) is put on a server in the enterprise, or optionally, several. A web service of Aegis' design controls all enterprise-wide access to any component automatically. Licenses are not anchored to physical machines or seats.

HOW DOES AEGIS DELIVER STABLE DATA ACQUISITION TO HUNDREDS OF DATA SOURCES AND MACHINES IN A FACTORY?

• At the side of data acquisition, Aegis xLink employs fault-tolerance technologies to ensure data integrity following network failures as well as time synchronization technologies to maintain and ensure sequential integrity.

• At the side of data reception, analysis and storage, Aegis data monitoring servers employ caching technology to ensure 100% data recovery even in the event of a physical server failure or crash mid-data-acquisition.

• At the side of data presentation, clients cache the operating data set at the client in order to allow operation and viewing even during a network failure of a common data set.

DOES AEGIS HAVE ANY LEGACY CODE FROM NON-32 BIT,
COM-BASED PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES OR PLATFORMS?

No.

DOES AEGIS MAINTAIN MULTIPLE CODE BASES GLOBALLY?

No. A single code base is maintained to enable high quality control.

DOES AEGIS USE SUBCONTRACTORS
IN ITS PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT?

No. Aegis does not outsource development as it believes quality control and rapid evolution of the solutions demands that the intellectual skill that developed the system must be maintained in-house.

DOES AEGIS USE ACQUISITION AS A
MEANS TO PRODUCT EXTENSION?

No. Aegis either builds solutions in-house, or it partners with companies with complementary solutions and builds 'black-box' interfaces between the solutions for seamless interoperability.
