A brief history of the FairCom® Corporation . . .

FairCom Corporation was founded in 1979 and introduced b+tree indexed data access methods to the microcomputer industry. Shortly thereafter, FairCom created Access Manager for Digital Research, Inc. In early 1984, FairCom released the c-tree® File Handler. This industrial quality, b+tree-based file handling engine, written in C, set new standards within the application development industry for portability, performance, and dependability. The work for Digital Research, Inc., dating back to 1981, included components that satisfied the client/server model. The first portable FairCom database server was then released in 1987.

In 1987, FairCom complemented c-tree with the r-tree® Report Generator, a sophisticated cross platform report writer. As the software development industry evolved, FairCom continued to provide quality tools to assist the professional programmer.

The decade of the 90's brought new challenges to the software developer, as hardware and software issues became increasingly complex. FairCom addressed these issues by releasing the second generation c-tree Server built on a multi-threaded kernel, which allows higher data concurrency while insuring a system can scale as needs evolve. Further, because client/server systems are open and modular, systems can be tailored to particular application requirements, leaving the choice for the most cost-effective hardware options open. This, coupled with c-tree Plus' unparalleled portability and proven performance, offers serious developers solutions for even the most demanding system requirements.

Today, FairCom's powerful database Server has been expanded through a Server side development kit (Server SDK) which offers a powerful development platform for any type of database development including web, ASP (application service provider), embedded applications, etc. Additionally, FairCom's product line is well positioned to solve a large range of database development needs from small vertical market applications to very complex specialized systems. FairCom's portability, small memory and disk footprints, and ease of administration has led to utilization in many cross-industry applications including telecommunications, manufacturing automation, web development, school/library automation, accounting systems, law automation, space exploration, the travel industry, data repositories, etc.

FairCom's continued dedication to database and client/server technology is evident when comparing FairCom products to competitors in the marketplace, with faster throughput, more flexibility/scalability and reasonable pricing. Our dedication to database technology has given FairCom a presence in over 100 countries worldwide with corporate offices in the USA, Europe, Japan and Brazil. FairCom's team of experienced engineers and technicians are available to use their expertise to meet your most demanding database needs.
