What benefits does it bring to my applications?
The Application Broker provides a mechanism for you to develop a single-source solution, and deploy your applications internally on a LAN or for access via a browser over the internet.
How does its performance compare to the free Broker?
The SE edition offers several advantages; the internal socket engine is multi-threaded, so it can handle multiple user requests simultaneously. Instead of queuing up each request for sequential processing, each connection has a thread dedicated to handling requests and responses, so responses are much faster when the server has a heavier load.
Can I distribute the Dyna driver royalty-free?
Yes, you can install it on as many servers as needed, there are no royalties on distribution.
Does it support secure connections via SSL?
Yes, It has built-in support for SSL, and you can use the free OpenSSL tool kit to create your own secure certificate. It runs as a service, so it automatically starts whenever the server machine is restarted, and as an OS service it is inherently more reliable than a regular executable.
