Citrus Controls announces low cost software reflective memory license.

Citrus Controls now provides and entry-level license which supports sharing of 512Kbytes of memory between up to 32 computer systems on a local area network.

Las Vegas, Nevada. December 3, 2003 – Citrus Controls today announced the availability of a low-cost license for sharing up to 512Kbytes of computer memory between cooperating computer systems with their AmirusMM software reflective memory system. The entry-level license allows memory sharing over Ethernet or 802.11 wireless networks with bandwidths of at least 500Kbytes/second.

“With our low-cost license, we meet the needs of customers who have modest data sharing requirements” said Dr. Tony Cox, Citrus Controls’ president. “The preconfigured software provides instant reflective memory "out of the box", while still providing a high-reliability platform for distributed applications.”

The AmirusMM entry-level system is licensed at $100 per node, which includes diagnostic/test utilities, and interfaces for MATLAB and Visual Basic .NET. For information, contact Marjorie St. Pierre, VP for Marketing and Sales, by e-mail, or by phone at (702)614-0692.

Citrus Controls announces Wireless Reflective Memory support.

Citrus Controls now supports its AmirusMM software reflective memory over 802.11g networks. This allows computer systems to share areas of memory without physical connections.

Las Vegas, Nevada. November 5, 2003 – Citrus Controls today announced support for its AmirusMM software reflective memory system with the popular 802.11g wireless networking standard. Using readily available COTS hardware, data rates up to 800kBytes/second have been achieved with three-millisecond latency. The design offers full data synchronization between machines and guaranteed memory consistency.

“Wireless networks are a challenging environment for our reflective memory product, with their higher noise rates, greater potential for node drop-out, and correlated packet loss ” said Dr. Tony Cox, Citrus Controls’ president. “Our multicast transmission/multiple caching algorithms ensure no data gets lost, even when the network becomes noisy. With AmirusMM, we have a convenient, consistent, reflective memory solution for distributed wireless applications.”

AmirusMM is licensed for new users at $600 per node, which includes comprehensive network management, diagnostic and test utilities, and interfaces for MATLAB and Visual Basic .NET. An optional hardware bridge license is available to enable integration with existing hardware reflective memory systems for an additional $200. For information, contact Marjorie St. Pierre, VP for Marketing and Sales, by e-mail, or by phone at (702)614-0692.

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. For additional information, contact Marjorie St. Pierre, VP for Marketing and Sales, by e-mail, or by phone at (702)614-0692.

Citrus Controls announces MATLAB interface for its AmirusMM software
reflective memory system.

Las Vegas, Nevada - August 19, 2003 - Citrus Controls today announced
the release of a MATLAB interface for its software reflective memory
product. The interface allows MATLAB interactive commands and scripts
to define variables in shared memory, which are then accessible to other
computers through AmirusMM software reflective memory.

The interface enables AmirusMM users to utilize the power of MATLAB on data
which is produced or used elsewhere. AmirusMM allows up to 32 computer
systems to share up to 64Mbytes of data with millisecond latency, using
standard networking components. Data access is serialized through the AmirusMM
distributed lock manager.

"By providing this interface with AmirusMM, we provide a simple low-cost
mechanism for customers to integrate diverse data sources with the interactive
graphical MATLAB environment." 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 MATLAB interface is packaged with version 1.1 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. For additional information, contact Marjorie St. Pierre,
VP for Marketing and Sales, by e-mail or by phone at (702)614-0692.
