ASG-Safari™ ODBC Interface for Universal Connectivity

As part of the ASG-Safari™ InfoTools suite, ASG-Safari ODBC Interface runs on a Microsoft® Windows NT® server. It provides universal connectivity to any ODBC-compliant data environment, including ASG-Safari™ InfoServer on remote systems with dissimilar platforms and operating systems.

All data is linked at the server level using the consolidating and processing power of ASG-Safari InfoServer, rather than the less efficient power of ODBC-joining technology (which consolidates and processes data at the desktop level). With ASG-Safari ODBC Interface desktop tools, you can access data sources from Windows, UNIX®, IBM®, and MPE environments — and you will benefit from the consolidating and processing power of ASG-Safari InfoServer.
