Fixed-price CLR hosting project

We’re working with VEXIS Systems Inc. again to extend the high performance pluggable server platform that we built for them back in 2008 using The Server Framework. This time around we’re adding to the plugin system within the server so that it can host plugins written in .Net managed code. The server now hosts a instance of the CLR, using The Server Framework’s CLR Hosting Option, and we have built a managed plugin system that integrates with the existing unmanaged system so that now they can write their business logic in either unmanaged code or in a managed language such as C#.

Updating ISO8583 servers

PayPoint has engaged us to update the ISO8583 transaction servers that we have built for them over the years to the latest version of The Server Framework. They’re keen to take advantage of the free updates that you get with The Server Framework but don’t have anyone in house to apply the diffs and adjust the code.

Fixed-price server development for ELTAV

We’ve been engaged to build the initial version of a smart valve monitoring server for Eltav using The Server Framework. Len will kick start their team’s development by putting together a custom server shell which deals with the basics of their requirements and will introduce their developers to The Server Framework’s code.

New fixed-price development project

We’re working with VEXIS Systems Inc. to build a high performance TCP/IP server system using The Server Framework. The server provides a vendor neutral, scalable, high performance client/server framework for event monitoring, data aggregation, and backend system integration for the telephony industry. The server provides a pluggable framework allowing each “plugin” DLL to manage its own resources with respect to various backend systems and call centre equipment.

Reliable UDP for the Online Gaming industry

We’ve been engaged by an Online Gaming Company that is using The Server Framework to refactor and redesign their reliable UDP implementation, based on ENet, so that it’s more efficient and performs better with the asynchronous design of The Server Framework. In addition they want us to build them a custom CLR Hosting solution within their server so that their games can be written in managed code but the networking layer can leverage the power of C++ for their reliable UDP layer.

More fixed-price design and development

We’re engaged in ongoing work with our Industrial Control Client. Refactoring and redesigning the TCP connectivity layer of their industrial device control system and refactoring and multi-threading a DDE connectivity component. Len is also designing and developing a high performance data acquisition system that connects as a client to their monitoring server and streams data to a SQL Server database for later analysis.
