Database Application Development: Traditional Model vs. New Model

  • Traditional Model

    The traditional model of building and running on-premise database applications has always been complex, expensive and risky. To deploy or use software we first needed the hardware which included servers from hardware vendors like Dell, HP, IBM or Sun. If we are intending to build a web application, we also required data center equipments like firewalls, switches, routers, VPNs etc for performance and security. Then it was bandwidth and hosting services.

    Once the hardware is in place; we required to purchase and install operating system, and subsequently an application server stack, such as Tomcat for Java, LAMP for PHP or Perl. Next we needed some database like MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server.

    Once the stack was assembled, a team of developers had to navigate complex programming models like J2EE and .NET. A team of network, database, and system management experts was needed to keep everything up and running. Inevitably, a business requirement would require a change to the application, which would then kick off a lengthy development, test, and redeployment cycle.

    Companies often needed specialized facilities to house their data centers. Enormous amounts of electricity also were needed to power the servers as well as the systems to keep them cool. Finally, a failover site was needed to mirror the data center so information could be replicated in case of a disaster.

  • New Model

    Just as Amazon.com, eBay, Google, iTunes, and YouTube made it possible to access new capabilities and new markets through a Web browser, WOLF Database Application Platform offers a faster, more cost-effective model for application development and delivery.

    WOLF Database Platform provides the entire infrastructure needed to run database applications over the Internet. It is delivered in the same way as a utility like electricity or water. Users simply "tap in" and take what they need without worrying about the complexity behind the scenes. And like a utility, WOLF Platform is based on a metering or subscription model so users only pay for what they use.

    With WOLF Platform, ISVs and corporate IT departments can focus on innovation instead of complex infrastructure. By leveraging the database platform, organizations can redirect a significant portion of their budgets from "keeping the lights on" to creating database applications that provide real business value.

    This model is driving a new era of mass innovation. For the first time, developers around the world can access unlimited computing power. Now, anyone with an Internet connection can build powerful applications and easily deploy them to users wherever they're located.

Database Application Platforms

Database Application Platforms provide application infrastructure specifically for transactional business applications such as database, integration, workflow, and user interface services. For companies unwilling to compromise on scalability, reliability, and security, WOLF database application platform is a clear choice for a flexible online database platform that manages critical business processes and is a rapid online application development platform.

What makes WOLF Online Database Application Platform different?

The alternative to WOLF Online Database Application Platform is to develop online database applications using desktop development tools like Eclipse or Microsoft Access, and then manually deploy those applications to a cloud hosting provider such as Amazon EC2.

WOLF Online Database Platform forays a wide variety of functional differences these traditional development platforms. These include:

  1. Multi-tenant development tool: traditional development tools are single user – WOLF Online Database Platform supports multiple users, each with multiple roles.
  2. Multi-tenant deployment architecture: scalability is often not a concern of the initial development effort and is left instead for the system administrators to deal with when the project deploys. In WOLF Online Database Platform, scalability of the application and data tiers is built-in.
  3. Integrated management: traditional development solution usually does not concern them with runtime monitoring, but in WOLF Online Database Platform, the monitoring ability is baked into the development platform.
  4. Integrated billing: WOLF Online Database Platform offers integrated usage based billing as a service to the SaaS world.

Online Database Applications development made easy

  • No Installation Required: SaaS applications built on WOLF Online Database Platform never requires installation processes or hard drive space. It lives in a virtual cloud in the Internet and this means that whenever you launch it, it always has the latest version. Ajax has made it possible to deliver Desktop-like look & feel, and functionality, with no loss of performance! WOLF Database Applications do not require any complex "roll out" procedure to deploy which makes life easier for ISVs and SaaS Startups. A compatible web browser is all that is needed
  • Seamless Updates: WOLF Online Database Application Platform gives you seamless updates. Instead of having to patch each and every individual user, the patches/upgrades are applied to the server and each user receives the updated version the next time they log in.
  • No legacy: This is a big issue for traditional software vendors. Users who purchase previous versions of a software almost always will result in legacy versions lying around which need support (which is costly). With WOLF Online Database Applications there is an end to legacy versions.
  • No admin rights required: Finally, a world where the network administrator in the company does not have to approve the installation of your software! Since it is browser based WOLF Online Database Applications can be accessed freely from a web browser.
  • Available anywhere, anytime: WOLF Online Database Applications can be accessed from anywhere and anytime from a web browser. Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
  • Platform independent: This opens a wider market for software vendors & no longer do they have to build technology around a specific platform and limit their market (or incur additional costs to build for another platform). The browser is the platform here which makes it very simple to run WOLF Online Database Applications.
  • Low-cost support and maintenance: Given that the browser is now the platform, operational support costs and maintenance for WOLF Online Database Application is substantially insignificant. No need to have expensive operating system gurus on hand to help with installation problems. Also, using WOLF Online Database Platform, will allow scalability, without a proportionate increase in costs.
