RhoSync

Connect mobile apps with the enterprise

RhoSync is a standalone server which keeps enterprise application data current and available on users’ smartphones. The information is stored locally on a user’s device and available to him even when disconnected and offline. Unlike other sync servers that have appeared in the past, RhoSync allows synchronization adapters to be built very easily. All that it takes to enable RhoSync to synchronize your apps is for the mobile developer to implement a “source adapter”: a handful of methods (query, create, update, and delete) that are used by the RhoSync server.

Rhodes apps that choose to use a RhoSync server can just assume that all data is available and current on the device. They write simple database ORM code to access and create information. All network programming and information retrieval from the device is thus eliminated. The major benefits of RhoSync are as follows:

Offline Use

Data is available while users are disconnected. Users can productively review and create data when on a plane or out of coverage. They never have to worry about losing work.

Easy Sync Adapter Development

Developers write a handful of methods to write a RhoSync source adapter to communicate with backend applications Code size and effort is over 10 times smaller than writing to earlier synchronization servers.

First Web Services Sync Server

Unlike early sync servers which emphasized database synchronization, RhoSync is focused on the modern generation of Software As A Service applications which expose web services. Older sync servers cannot do this.

First Sync Server To Use Smartphone Push

RhoSync takes advantage of the new advanced BlackBerry Enterprise Server and iPhone 3.0 SDKs for Push. It is the only framework that uses BES Push and iPhone Push to optimize synchronization. It enables realtime updates of critical backend application information.

Simplifies Smartphone Data Access

Smartphone app developers using Rhodes that choose to use RhoSync can assume that the data there is always current and available without doing their own network programming for retrieval and update.

Purchasing

Commercial licenses of RhoSync start at $5,000 for a single app for 100 users. Each order of magnitude (10 fold increase) in number of users results in twice the price, making RhoSync very attractive for large userbases. Check the commercial license agreement and contact sales@rhomobile.com for purchases of RhoSync for more than 100 users on a single app.
