The ability to provide several different versions of the same image without storing various resolutions of that image is another space saver. And this solution also allows users to work with compressed files that require less bandwidth as images are retrieved from across a room or across the globe. The search and retrieval client is a Web-based Java applet or a standalone Java application. The application will be available on Windows, Macintosh, Sun and Linux platforms in the second quarter. Piranha's development group used the same object database technology utilized by JJT's Maestro MetabaseServer product that has been used to store millions of metadata objects by such customers as Texas Instruments.
Piranha solutions increase the speed of Web pages and maximize bandwidth and storage.
Piranha products are available on Linux, Windows and Macintosh systems.
