Case Study: Computer Associates achieves high-speed data access and large-file support with FairCom's c-tree Plus

Computer Associates - Customer Case Study

Computer Associates selected FairCom to underpin its Advantage CA‑Realia II Workbench, a PC-based, mainframe‑compatible COBOL development environment. CA needed a runtime file system that delivered high-speed data access, support for files larger than 4 GB, cross‑platform portability and high data availability while fitting CA’s sales/pricing model.

FairCom delivered its c‑tree Plus technology (with special code to allow either standalone or client/server operation from the same code set), providing ISAM‑level performance, record/key‑level locking for higher availability, true multi‑threaded throughput and support across 30+ platforms. As a result, FairCom enabled fast data access and superior response times for Advantage CA‑Realia II Workbench, reliable large‑file handling and flexible pricing that lowered total cost of ownership for Computer Associates’ customers.
