Citrus Controls announces Visual Basic .NET interface for its AmirusMM software reflective memory system.

Citrus Controls has developed an interface which simplifies the Visual Basic .NET programmers interface to its AmirusMM shared memory system. This speeds the development of distributed applications based on VB.NET.

Las Vegas, Nevada (PRWEB) October 1, 2003 -- Citrus Controls today announced the release of a Visual Basic .NET interface for its software reflective memory product. The interface allows VB.NET programmers to define variables in shared memory, which are then accessible to other computers through AmirusMM software reflective memory.

The interface enables AmirusMM users to design applications in VB.NET which operate on data which is produced or used elsewhere. AmirusMM allows up to 32 computer systems to share up to 64 Mbytes of data with millisecond latency, using standard networking components. Data access can be coordinated through the AmirusMM distributed lock manager.

"By implementing this interface with AmirusMM, we provide a simple low-cost mechanism for customers to integrate diverse data sources with the popular and productive Visual Basic .NET development platform." said Dr. Tony Cox, Citrus Controls president. "We will be announcing additional third-party interfaces in the coming months designed to simplify data integration in distributed systems."

The Visual Basic .NET interface is packaged with version 1.2 of AmirusMM, available now for WindowsNT/2000/XP. AmirusMM is licensed for new users at $599 per node, which includes comprehensive network management, diagnostic, and test utilities. An optional hardware bridging license is available for $200.
