Client-Server Database Manager

The MemSys® client-server upgrade is required for all new installations if the shared database is to be located on a server accessed via a local area network.  Client-server technology eliminates workstation file handling and reindexing.  Because only the file server is allowed to open and update the databases, this technology eliminates the chance that a workstation malfunction could cause harm to any of the shared databases.  The client-server upgrade uses Actian Zen / Pervasive SQL (Version 10 or higher) running on the file server and workstations.  If MemSys tables will be accessed across a wide area network, we recommend adding the GoGlobal Thin Client module.

Note: MemSys® and PervasiveSQL® can be installed on more workstations than the license calls for, but only the licensed number of users may run MemSys® at the same time.

    What are other stations saying about MemSys?

    We are long-time users of MemSys. Being a joint licensee with dual memberships for radio and TV presents many challenges and MemSys has always been up to the task.
