Drivers High-Performance 32 Bit Generic ODBC Drivers that provide transparent access to remote databases from any ODBC compliant application. High-Performance Generic Data Access Drivers supporting concurrent access to heterogeneous backend database engines. These two components work in concert and form the nucleus of the OpenLink database independent communications technology used by all OpenLink Client Components. The Request Agent is the client element of this communications layer while the Request Broker and Database Agent form the server pieces. The Request Broker is a Generic server component that manages OpenLink service provider location, binding, instantiation, session management, and termination.
Logical firewalls deal with internal intrusion.
For instance, imagine having to protect your internal network infrastructure and data sources from malicious technically savvy ex-employees. Or imagine having to protect your organization from SQL virus attacks, which are SQL statements constructed with the view of destroying one or more tables by breaking the referential integrity of the corporate data model. Thereby enabling OpenLink Multi-Tier Data Access drivers to provide transparent access ODBC backend databases. This capability serves the following purposes. In-built Database Independent Communications Layer Sophisticated Data security via Encryption.
