Hi Perry, We license a server component plus concurrent connections, but we have a starter bundle that includes everything you need including 2 connections. The starter bundle is very competitively priced, and we have customers ranging from small to fortune 500 with workloads ranging from small to huge.

Thanks for the info. I will definitely be having a look at the videos. BTW... what is your licensing model? Thanks.

If you're looking at options, you might as well have them all. Here are some YouTube playlists that show how our Managed Provider works: http://www.youtube.com/user/fusionwareInt/videos?flow=grid&view=1 We've been around for a long time, having released an ODBC driver for MultiValue back in 1992. We have customers who still use both the ODBC, OLEDB, JDBC, and our Managed Provider and have seen some very innovative extensions of MultiValue with 3rd party apps over the years.

Did I mention share the story? :) Cheers, Dan -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tony Gravagno Sent: Tuesday, May 28, 2013 1:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [U2] [UV] UniObjects.Net vs Thrid-party Products > From: Daniel McGrath > Tony, out of curiosity, have you looked at UO.NET's replacement: U2 > Toolkit for .NET? Not recently bud. Once I settle on a toolkit that works well, my research in that specific area slows down. How much research do we continue to do on cars after we've made a purchase? Do we keep house hunting after we move into a new home? It's appropriate to be informed about what's happening in our industry, but I have dozens of platforms, frameworks, toolkits, and related versions that I need to keep up with - that still means time needs to be allocated for hundreds of permutations of all of these blasted software packages that are all supposed to "save us time". Like everyone else here, I need to use whatever "free time" I have to hone my skills with the latest versions of the tools I already use, rather than continue to look into replacements. Despite professional curiosity, at some point we need to stop playing with tools and just hunker down to write real code. I'd like to say that at some point I'll cycle back around for another look at the U2 toolkit, but remember that for my purposes of writing applications that are the same across all MV platforms, a platform-specific tool is generally off of my radar. Sure, it would be nice to save my clients money using free tools, but I have U2 clients that have been running a single license of mv.NET for years. The tiny cost of the tool is trivial in the big picture. People need to think hard about exactly how much "free" costs them, or how adverse they are to buying a low-cost license for something that will last years. And that's just the cost of the tool. When a U2 site posts a job ad for someone to do UI work or web services, they might say "must know U2 Toolkit for .NET". If they have a tool that anyone in the MV industry can use, the scope of candidates broadens to include U2 developers And everyone else. .NET developers have already broadened their scope to the outside world. Once they/we have made that jump, there's no reason anymore to limit one's self to a single MV platform and related tools. A company that is going in this direction should think hard about branching out and then snapping right back again to platform-specific tools. Sure, you're going to find someone who does U2-only work with .NET, but why limit your scope to U2-only people? The non-end-user developers that I know who use mv.NET aren't interested in limiting themselves to one platform anymore. It doesn't make sense to not have access to that pool of talent just because you want to use a "free" tool. And no, the DBMS vendors shouldn't feel threatened by this - we're enhancing applications for everyone, not "the competition". It's the end-users that win here as well as their up-line channel. So Rocket Software and Tiger Logic and Ladybridge and everyone else should be encouraging their developer channel to use mv.NET rather than somehow feeling threatened by it. (More than I expected to write on that one, sorry.)
