NeoLogic object database deployed by online industry giant AOL; America Online adopts NeoAccess database engine to increase performance and optimize memory usage in AOL 3.0
Business Wire, April 29, 1997
BERKELEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 29, 1997--NeoLogic Systems today announced that NeoAccess, the company's object database management system, has been deployed as the foundation technology for America Online's Macintosh client application.
This follows the adoption of NeoAccess by Netscape, Compuserve and NetObjects, making NeoAccess the object database selected by four of today's leading Internet technology providers.
"AOL's use of object technology represents the company's unwavering, forward-thinking drive to provide the best possible user experience for its customers," said NeoLogic President Bob Krause. "We are pleased to have provided the database infrastructure to support this application's sophisticated design."
America Online implemented NeoAccess for the mail, news and Internet browser elements of its online software. NeoAccess provides database support for 30 to 40 object classes in AOL 3.0, including all artwork and multimedia data used by the software.
NeoAccess is a cross-platform, object database system which reduces development time and costs for commercial and corporate developers by providing extremely fast storage and management of database objects. It consists of a set of C classes that naturally extend standard application frameworks for Windows, Macintosh and UNIX systems.
"NeoAccess proved to be the ideal database infrastructure for building AOL 3.0," said America Online software engineer Ed Devinney. "Its speed, flexible interface, and incredibly small memory footprint were instrumental to the rapid development and overall performance of our online application."
According to Krause, "As online software providers add to the complexity of their applications, NeoLogic is positioned to exceed development requirements with proven object database solutions. The recent adoption of NeoAccess by America Online, Netscape, Compuserve and NetObjects demonstrates the viability of this position."
