2014 already. Where does the time go? We’re still very busy with work for our Industrial Control Client but since they needed to get us SC level security clearance for this project if we told you any more we’d have to kill you… Our work for online gaming clients is diversifying a bit as the project we’ve been working on for our secretive Online Gaming Company matures into a solid cloud-based SAS gaming server and we start to work more with the recent influx of Korean games companies that are now using The Server Framework.

We are building a server for a security company who would prefer to remain nameless. The server will manage communication for networks of tens of thousands of smart alarm panels using The Server Framework. In addition to the M2M communication aspect, the server also manages the management control connections that are used to send data to and from the devices.

Once again the new year has started with us very busy with work for our Industrial Control Client but since they needed to get us SC level security clearance for this project if we told you any more we’d have to kill you… We’re also looking forward to doing lots more work with our secretive Online Gaming Company. Their cloud-based SAS gaming server is doing well for them and their clients and we’re continuing to be closely involved with the ongoing development.

We’ve been retained by HTI Labs to provide ongoing technical consultancy, mentoring, and assistance for their consultants.

As we mentioned back in January, one of our clients has sponsored Len for SC level Security Clearance for one of the projects that we’re bidding for with them. We’re pleased to announce that this has been granted and that Len now has SC level Security Clearance. Whilst this clearance was obtained for work with our sponsoring client that work may or may not materialise, it’s currently very early in the bidding process, so if you require the services of an Security Cleared C++ network specialist please get in touch.

The year has kicked off to a very busy start for us with lots of work from our secretive Online Gaming Company. They’re doing a lot of work to enhance the product that we’ve helped them build so that it can run well in cloud environments for their clients and also form the core of their cloud-based service. Much of our current work for them is to do with server to server communications so that they can build a scalable system that can use resources in the cloud to grow on demand.

September already… We’ve spent much of the time since the last Company News update working with our super secretive Online Gaming company to make their product even better. We’ve also been updating The Server Framework’s WebSocket support for a couple of new Server Framework clients and generally improving performance for the 6.5 release of The Server Framework which is due real soon now. In addition we’ve launched the LockExplorer website, but, to be honest, we’ve been too busy with The Server Framework to do all the writing and evangelising that we have planned for the existing LockExplorer tools, let alone finish the more advanced tools.

We are building a server for a custom electronics manufacturer who would prefer to remain nameless. The server will manage communication and firmware updates for networks of thousands of smart devices using The Server Framework.

As you can see, we’ve updated the JetByte web site and integrated it into our product site for The Server Framework and Len’s, Rambling Comments, programming blog. We’ve also got a new logo which we had developed for us as part of a logo design competition that we ran on 99designs.com. The site is now managed using Movable Type rather than the custom content management system that we had written for us in 2001.

Our Industrial Control Client has engaged us to continue with several pieces of work for them on an ongoing basis.
