Why Upgrade?
ZIM is committed to ensuring the ongoing success of your Zim based
applications and database systems. With Zim 8, we have made significant
improvements in how data is processed and stored. The inclusion of an
“Always Online” Zim Server has enabled significant improvements in
speed and power and eliminated many deadlock and multiple user issues.
Below are key reasons why all Zim users would greatly benefit from an upgrade to Zim 8.
Advanced Lock and Data Management
-
By integrating lock management into Zim Server, Zim 8 prioritizes
and serializes lock requests and dramatically decreases deadlocks.
-
Zim Server also centrally controls all transactions through
the Data Manager and enables multiple users to simultaneously work on
processes without having to wait for database updates.
Automated Back up
-
Zim 8’s Online Back up automatically generates a mirror database
which minimizes system downtime and dramatically improves database
integrity and recovery.
-
Online Back up also enables users to switch over to the mirror
database when required and continue their work without interruption.
Expanded Administrator Control
-
Zim 8 administrators can now monitor shared memory operations in
real time, allowing them to quickly identify issues or suspend the
database during application changes.
-
All transactions are exclusively and centrally controlled by
the Data Manager and are more easily monitored and controlled by the
administrator.
Decreased Resource Requirements
-
Zim Server dramatically improves performance when there are
multiple users and also handles multiple databases, thus reducing
processing and resource requirements.
-
Zim Server enables the Lock Manager and On Line Backup to be
scheduled for automatic starts, reducing the need for administrator
support.
Zim 8 offers incremental benefits over your existing Zim implementation:
