Simplify ER/Studio Licensing & Deployment with Embarcadero ToolCloud™

Simplify ER/Studio Licensing & Deployment with Embarcadero ToolCloud™

Most ER/Studio users do more than just physical database design or data architecture. We’re data architects, business analysts, DBAs and developers, using a wide array of different tools from different vendors to support our application and database projects. Just managing the licensing and provisioning of these tools can be a job in itself. And that’s why Embarcadero set out to improve how tools are delivered.

Earlier this month we launched Embarcadero ToolCloud. The ToolCloud is lightweight server software that centrally provisions and manages Embarcadero products. The ToolCloud enables you to simplify licensing, reduce costs, and control access by consolidating, centralizing, virtualizing and standardizing how tools are delivered to end uses. Database professionals and application developers now have on-demand access to the tools when they need them. You can run multiple versions side-by-side, adapt toolsets by project and platform to respond faster to changing business demands.

With the super fast InstantOn, it runs locally, it doesn’t impact locked-down areas of the operating system and you can report on the license usage for chargeback and budgeting purposes.

Embarcadero Debuts On-Demand, Multi-Platform Software Development Tool Chest

Embarcadero today announced the launch of All-Access™, the  industry’s first software development tool chest that provides application developers, data architects and database professionals with cost effective, on-demand access to all the tools they need to design, build and run their software applications and data systems.

All-Access enables you to choose from one of four All-Access levels providing on-demand access to 18 award winning development and management products. This is also a cost effective way to access some of Embarcadero’s leading database design and modeling tools. Each of the four levels include on-demand access to Embarcadero’s Online metadata search and reporting tool (ER/Portal), data model viewer tool (ER/Studio Viewer), and business process modeling tool (EA/Studio). Higher All-Access levels will get you full access to our data modeling tool ER/Studio. While some of our other tools like Schema Examiner and Universal Data Models are not currently available in All-Access, they can still be purchased as stand-alone tools and will work seamlessly with the All-Access licensing.

Another cool feature with All-Access is the introduction of  InstantOn™, a breakthrough feature that allows users to easily “click-and-run” All-Access tools on-demand, without installation, either locally or over the network. InstantOn saves  time and allows instant operation in locked-down desktop environments where installing software is problematic. The InstantOn capability is available today for many All-Access tools and will be available for all components of All-Access in Q2 2009.

We think this is a real game changer in the industry, and so do the leading analysts and publications. Here are a few links of what they have to say:
