New Technology for a New
Architecture
The ReFrame Application Service Grid - runs a whole new
type of application - Elastic Applications -
applications that, from their very nature, can adapt
to the changing size, shape, needs, and wants of your
business. Applications that can
quickly, easily, and safely distribute, scale and
evolve.
ReFrame's Elastic Applications - provide unparalleled
ability to accommodate change. ReFrame uses HingePoint's own
ActivArchitecture™, a unique combination of:
Message-based architecture, and HingePoint-developed
LiveObject™ Technology, Object Services™, and the
ReFrame Exception Handler.
LiveObject Technology -
ReFrame Objects
are "LiveObjects" that developers can enable
to act, communicate and calculate. Data in ReFrame is intelligent, malleable, fully under
developer control. In fact, the process is actually an emergent behavior of the
data.
ObjectServices - LiveObject Technology
enables any object, record, or index, even a single
field within a particular record, to act as a service.
ObjectServices are typically implemented at quite
granular levels. This granularity makes ReFrame
ObjectServices easily understood
and therefore easily modified to accommodate business
changes.
Exception Handler - ReFrame's Exception
Handler speeds development by reducing
the time spent handling exceptions. Exceptions
encountered in ReFrame applications are automatically
captured, stored in the ReFrame Exception
Handler. Normal operation resumes without the
end user confronting alarming and often
incomprehensible error messages.
Message-based Architecture - ReFrame's
message-based architecture coupled with LiveObject
Technology enables highly flexible process
distribution. A process initially developed on one machine
can easily be distributed across many
others. This combination of message-based
architecture and LiveObject Technology also speeds
refactoring and supports Rich Internet Applications (RIA
- AJAX, Flex and Laszlo).
ReFrame enables you to quickly, easily, and safely
accommodate the changing size and shape of your
business.
