Self-Managing Database Access Software Designed for the Non-Technical User!

SimbaExpress is the industry's first self-managing desktop database access solution, and now features: intelligent installation and setup tools, and it eliminates traditional scalability barriers by enabling a single server to centrally manage hundreds of client configurations. SimbaExpress addresses client/server costs head-on by minimizing the ongoing overhead and maintenance associated with providing fast, reliable access to multiple SQL and proprietary data sources from a Windows-based desktop.

The industry's first simplified user interface driven by a "wizard-like" approach:

• SimbaExpress tools guide even non-technical users through traditionally difficult processes such as driver installation and data source configuration. Today, end-users can install a SimbaExpress client in less than one minute without technical support, and a server can be installed in less than five minutes. Accessing data doesn't require training as SimbaExpress is invisible to end users of desktop query and report writing tools. SimbaExpress continues to provide users with the unique ability to add data sources on the server without requiring additional manual configuration at the client, making this product an appropriate solution for the management of corporate-wide data connectivity.
• Unparalleled performance results in Windows 95 environments through optimization of the network layer. Independent user tests have produced results that indicate SimbaExpress speeds up system performance by as much as three-fold over competitive products and previous versions of SimbaExpress.
• First to offer virtually unlimited scalability. SimbaExpress has no practical scalability limitation other than those associated with the system hardware, and it now supports hundreds of clients from a single server. This scalability feature represents a five hundred percent improvement over some competitive products and previous versions of SimbaExpress. These dramatic improvements are made possible through the uniquely designed multi-threaded/multi-processing architecture.
• Expanded flexibility for end-user connectivity. Simba Technologies provides the only desktop data access solution to offer a single driver that supports an unlimited number of distinct data sources.
• Supports Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle System 7.x, and Sybase System 10/11. Customers can also purchase additional SQL and non-SQL drivers that will integrate seamlessly with the SimbaExpress product. SimbaExpress provides system failure override so that if a server becomes unavailable, for whatever reason, client requests are automatically and transparently routed to an alternate server.
• SimbaExpress continues to enable users to utilize the Internet for providing database access via the World Wide Web.
