Cloud Computing

The Lycia infrastructure model offers easy and on-demand access to networks sharing configurable computing resources that can be swiftly provided and distributed with minimal administration effort. Lycia applications can be deployed and made accessible in the cloud without any changes to your application. Should you be interested in making only specific modules/methods available for the cloud, this can also be achieved easely. With the support of 4GL Web Service Clients and Provider functionality, any 4GL function can be made available as a Web Service entry point and can also utilize other web services.

Traditional Software deployment versus cloud computing

Traditional applications require a complete setup in terms of office servers/Pcs, cooling, security, backups, failover solutions, bandwidth, storage, databases, maintenance and in-house support.

Cloud computing just uses applications from the cloud (a shared data centre located anywhere on the globe). All what the application user requires is usually some computer device with an Internet connection to allow you to start the application, customize it and run it like any other traditional application.
With Lycia, you get all the tools you require to produce and deploy ‘Cloud-Ready‘ applications on the fly. As an application vendor, you can market your applications for traditional and cloud computing environments in parallel, to be competitive and flexible enough for all customer environmental requirements.

Lycia stands for the new way of modern application development which gives you the ultimate flexibility in software development, management and deployment. In parallel, it reduces your overall cost of software development/ownership now and in the future.
