DB-Box simply plugs into your existing network. Then from any of the workstations the DB-Box appears as a regular Web-site. Using a Web-browser you can construct a database that fits any task. Any device on your network that has a Web browser can then access this database. This offers complete platform independent capability, and stability with proven technology used on major Web-sites. The database software is constructed completely in PHP and MySQL running on Linux, and can handle up to 500 users. In addition, The DB-Box comes complete with RAID level 0 data protection, and includes an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) that will safely shutdown the computer during a power outage for added reliability.

Cost effective and easy to use

DB-Box is a complete database solution that does not require any additional items. On average most companies spend a couple of thousand dollars on database software alone that does not cover the cost of the server or server OS software. Typical installation requires hefty licensing fees. The DB-Box features an unlimited user license. In addition, The DB-Box does not require an IT department to maintain. Once set-up it does not require any user intervention. A DB-Box will save you money in both respects with a price of only $1,275 (Tower).

It requires a TCP/IP Protocol network, Ethernet RJ-45 10/100 Twisted Pair Cable, a hub or switch, and the clients must have a Web browser (4.0 and up recommended).
