NOBLENET PRODUCTS

NobleNet has two product families, EZ-RPC and EZ-API.  In addition, the 
company serves as the North American distributor for Orbix, the market 
leading CORBA compliant object request broker (ORB).  

EZ-RPC, a rapid prototyping compiler (code generator), allows ordinary 
application and drag-and-drop programmers, who do not have any 
communications programming expertise, to build sophisticated, three-tier, 
client-server applications.  The product is based on and extends  Open 
Network Computing (ONC) Remote Procedure Call (RPC) technology and 
External Data Representation (XDR).

EZ-API disperses industry-standard, component Application Programmer 
Interfaces (API) into  multi-tier, client-server architectures.  The 
first commercially available EZ-API product is the OneDriver ODBC SDK.  
In its simplest implementation, OneDriver ODBC moves client-side ODBC 
drivers up to the server.  In more sophisticated implementations, 
developers can enhance the functionality of the API, through programmer 
exits, without disturbing the integrity of the standard.

EZ-RPC

For procedure-oriented programmers, NobleNet offers the EZ-RPC suite of 
Software Development Kits (SDK), currently in use by over 200 companies. 
These tools let application programmers quickly tie clients on any 
combination of 40 platforms to servers on any  combination of 40 
platforms, including: Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Macintosh, OS/2, NT, UNIX 
and VAX.	

The Application Programming Interface, or API, of any module can be 
"remoted" or distributed with no change whatsoever to the existing code.  
For Windows developers, EZ-RPC creates a Windows DLL that contains the 
complete API of the subsystem.  This means that any Windows based 
developer can  use a "GUI" tool to access a server subsystem as if it 
were local to the PC.  Any module or subsystem  written in C and 
currently running on a Windows, or other supported client, can be 
converted into a "network service" running on a UNIX server, with no 
change to the API or code.

EZ-RPC is a next generation RPC SDK with extended features that allow 
application programmers with little or no network programming experience 
to build 3-tier, client-server applications.   Also experienced network 
programmers will enjoy substantial productivity gains (as much as 90%) 
over programming directly to sockets or with a first generation tool.

ORBIX

For the C++, object-oriented programmer, we offer Orbix, the market 
leading CORBA compliant Object Request Broker (ORB).  Orbix, lightweight, 
fast, and easy to use, is being used by over 1,000 developers at 400 
sites.

In addition to being CORBA compliant, Orbix provides extensibility, 
through smart proxies, filters, and loaders, to easily integrate modules 
such as persistent data stores.

Orbix for Windows provides tight integration with Visual Basic/OLE.  Thus 
C++ objects on a Unix server can easily be integrated with Visual Basic 
on Windows clients with no C or C++ programming required on the Windows 
Client.

ONE DRIVER ODBC SDK

NobleNet�s OneDriver ODBC SDK extends the ODBC model for developers in 
three important ways.  First, database vendor specific ODBC drivers can 
be relocated to a middle or application tier, rather than on each and 
every client.  Second, developers can rapidly develop their own ODBC 
drivers using NobleNet�s innovative wrapper technology.  Third, other 
network services can be integrated into the �database� calls made by the 
client programs.

The core of the NobleNet OneDriver ODBC SDK is a unique architecture that 
relocates the ODBC API away from the Windows client onto any of 25 
powerful UNIX platforms or Windows NT.  The SDK includes all the 
necessary communications software to connect Microsoft Windows 3.1, Win95,
 and NT clients to these standard platforms over a standard TCP/IP 
network.  The OneDriver ODBC SDK works with any ODBC-compliant database, 
as well as with front-end development tools such as PowerBuilder, Delphi, 
Visual Basic, and Microsoft Access.

EZ-API

OneDriver ODBC SDK is NobleNet�s first in a family of commercially 
available EZ-API products. Each EZ-API SDK disperses industry-standard, 
component Application Programmer Interfaces (API) into a three-tier, 
client-server architecture.  Other named APIs currently under 
consideration include (not limited to):
� TSAPI - Telephony Services API (NetWare)
� TAPI - Telephony API
� SRAPI - Speech Recognition API
� ODMA - Open Document Management API
� ISAPI - Internet Services API (i.e. Netscape and MS Network �plug and 
play� API)
� XFN - X/Open Federated Naming API
� NDS - NetWare Directory Services API
� OLE- MS Object Linking and embedding API
Built with EZ-RPC, the EZ-API products likewise allow ordinary 
application and drag-and-drop programmers to build sophisticated, three-
tier, client-server applications.
