Burlington, Massachusetts-based Ontos Inc is now shipping the Ontos Distributed Multimedia Platform, an object database and set of tools for building enterprise-wide distributed multimedia applications. The product is designed to enable developers to build large-scale, high-volume multimedia applications more cheaply than with other available approaches. It includes the Ontos object-oriented database technology; low-end MS-DOS communications to 80386-based personal computers, a multimedia class library, and extensions to support mainframes via IBM’s Workstation Local Area Network File Services/VM. It supports configurations of OS/2 servers, running on a NetWare network, serving OS/2 or MS-DOS client workstations running the Ontos Distributed Multimedia Client C application programming interface. It costs $5,000 plus the price of the Ontos object database. Ontos is an IBM Multimedia Industry Application Specialist Business Partner and it says IBM gave the company development assistance on the new product.
