InterSystems Introduces CACH=C9 Database on Mac OS X
Post-Relational Database Delivers Enterprise Speed and Scalability on =
Mac Platform
Cambridge, Mass.=97February 14, 2005 =97 InterSystems Corporation today =
announced that its CACH=C9 post-relational database is available for =
deployment on Mac OS X. The product was introduced at the HIMSS 2005 =
conference in Dallas, Texas.=20
The leading database provider in healthcare and number two embedded =
database worldwide, InterSystems develops and markets the CACH=C9 =
post-relational database and the Ensemble universal integration =
platform.
The CACH=C9 database delivers a rich feature set combined with highly =
automated system management. CACH=C9 features a Unified Data =
Architecture that automatically makes data available as both objects and =
tables, eliminating the need to synchronize data definitions or map from =
one form to another. In addition to enabling extremely rapid SQL =
development and deployment, CACH=C9 offers the advanced object =
technology preferred for deployment in the inherently object-oriented =
Web environment with a complete object model, including encapsulation, =
polymorphism, multiple inheritance, collections, and relationships.
"CACH=C9 offers the robust object database, comprehensive RAD feature =
set and high performance SQL that Macintosh developers need to deploy =
highly scalable applications across the enterprise," said Robert Nagle, =
InterSystems Vice President of Software Development. "We=92re very =
pleased to deliver the proven database capabilities critical to =
deploying and supporting Web transaction processing systems on the =
extremely popular and powerful Mac OS X platform."=20
"The stability, security and ease of use of Mac OS X are major factors =
behind its strength in the healthcare, science and biotech industries," =
said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer =
Relations. "The Apple development community is working on a diverse =
range of healthcare applications and we=92re excited to see InterSystems =
take advantage of the innovation in Mac OS X to enable next generation =
database solutions."
"Ease of use and a low total cost of ownership are especially attractive =
in the professional office environment," said Michael Edwards, CEO of =
HealthWare Corporation, an InterSystems application provider that offers =
office management software for dental and medical practices. "Users in =
small-to-mid-sized physician and dental offices have been Macintosh =
enthusiasts for years," Edwards said. "Our new CACH=C9-based iMedical =
and iDental software running on Mac OS X will provide smaller practices =
with top-tier office management functionality and requires virtually no =
training or software administration. CACH=C9 also offers the scalability =
and performance demanded by larger healthcare enterprises, such as =
dental schools," he continued. "This enterprise-scale database running =
on Mac OS X is a highly cost-effective deployment platform that appeals =
to healthcare organizations of every size."
Pricing and Availability
Available now, CACH=C9 pricing for Mac OS X starts at US $200 in a =
single-user version and about US $1,000 for a multi-user configuration.
A free, fully functional, no-time-limit copy of CACH=C9 can be =
downloaded or requested on CD from the InterSystems Web site.
