Pervasive is the only database company who is sharply focusing both its business and
product strategies on serving the commercial developer.
Pervasive Software's Client/Server in a Box Strategy
Today the majority of client/server applications are developed in-house at great
expense and effort. The resources required will limit the adoption rate until
client/server applications are widely available in a pre-packaged form at reasonable
prices.
Pervasive's Client/Server in a Box strategy is focused on delivering the power of
client/server computing combined with the advantages of packaged software. Specifically,
Client Server in a Box applications must deliver the same automated installations and low
maintenance operations normally associated with packaged desktop applications.
Given the complexity of distributed client/server applications, Pervasive is delivering
the core technologies that will make Client/Server in a Box applications possible. These
technologies include:
High performance, full-featured client/server database engines
Requesters spanning multiple client and server platforms
Application Configuration Management tools facilitates successful installations by
verifying that the network infrastructure is in place.
Automated installation and management of distributed components from a single
workstation.
Maintenance free operations such that dedicated technical staff are not necessary.
In addition, Pervasive provides innovative licensing programs tailored to meet the
pricing and mass production needs of commercial developers. The combination of
Client/Server in a Box technology and value licensing programs enable developers around
the world to deliver Client/Server in a Box applications today.

Pervasive Software Product Strategy
Pervasive's key product strength lies in its powerful MicroKernel Database Engine™
(MKDE) on which Pervasive's product line is based. The MKDE provides a unified
architecture supporting multiple data access models. This unique architecture ensures
smooth migration across current and future products, preserving the customer's investment
in existing technology.
Pervasive's MicroKernel Database Engine separates the data access model from low-level
functions common to all databases. The MicroKernel supports multiple data access models
including relational and navigational - and ultimately future data models - while storing
all data in a common model-independent format.
The MKDE allows users to take full advantage of new applications with different and
complex data types, while avoiding the expense of a costly database migration.
Additionally, the MicroKernel enforces data integrity across aft applications. For
example, navigational applications can easily be extended by integrating relational (SQL)
modules with no impact on the original application. All modules can share the same data
concurrently.
