Software Techniques Certified
To Run On Unisys ES7000 Enterprise Server
WINTER PARK, Florida, September 10, 2001
– Software Techniques, Inc. (STI), the premier
provider of computer assisted mass appraisal software,
announced today that its CustomCAMA property appraisal
software suite has been certified to operate on
the Unisys ES7000 enterprise server. The Unisys
system runs Microsoft's DataCenter operating system
and IBM’s Informix Database. This represents
the first CAMA application to be certified under
this platform.
The certification was performed at the Unisys
testing center in Philadelphia at the request
of the Harris County Appraisal District in Houston,
Texas, which recently selected STI’s product
as its new enterprise software platform.
"With the inclusion of the ES7000 as a deployment
platform, we are able to accommodate the very
largest appraisal districts on both a Unix and
Microsoft NT operating environment,” said
Larry Zirbel, president of STI. “More importantly,
we proved we could scale our product to fully
recalculate as many 2.8 million parcels in less
than 6 hours."
STI ran its application using a database of 1.6
million parcels, the approximate size of the Harris
County Appraisal District. The Unisys ES7000 was
configured with 16 Intel 32bit processors to function
as a single database server and another 16 processors
were configured to run as 4 separate client machines.
The Unisys ES7000 is regarded as the largest
and fastest Intel-based platform available today.
The ES7000 can support as many as 32 processors
and runs Microsoft’s Advanced Server, Enterprise,
or Data Center operating systems. The ES7000 has
a multiple domain feature that enables it to separate
processor groups and run individual instances
of the operating system on each group.
Software Techniques, inc., founded in 1987, is
a premier provider of computer assisted mass appraisal
software (CAMA), which is used by government property
appraisal offices to determine the value of property
for taxation purposes. Many other industries use
this information routinely, such as banks, mortgage
companies and real estate professionals. With
offices in Winter Park, Florida, Greensboro, North
Carolina and London England, STI also provides
software development and network engineering services
to both commercial and government clients.
