Linux Appliance Server from ECRS Delivers Unmatched Simplicity and Cost Savings to Retailers
ECRS Releases Plug-n-Play Store Server for Retailers Demanding Simplicity & Value
ECR Software announces the new Catapult Appliance Server, a solution targeted at retailers seeking to dramatically reduce complexity and cost of ownership at the store level.  The Catapult Appliance Server extends secure Internet and intranet services throughout the store. The Catapult Appliance Server is a complete plug-and-play networking solution that includes the database and all of the tools and applications necessary to serve a Catapult Point-of-Sale Retail Management System within a store location. Priced at under $2,000 the Catapult Appliance Server represents true value and innovation to retailers who require a dedicated network server with an ideal blend of expandability, usability, and performance, all at a value-oriented price.
"This server is truly a plug-and-play solution, allowing our customers and dealers to experience dramatic simplicity and cost reductions," said Mark Noble, Chief Technology Officer for ECRS. "Most notably, this is an alternative solution that allows ECRS to proclaim 'server neutrality' so that our customers have a choice in their server platform selection."
"The concept of a no-fuss network and data server-in-a-box is very exciting," said Sean Harrell, IT Administrator of Southland Trade in Moyock, NC. Southland Trade is a large-scale open market that serves up to 3,000 customers every day. "This solution will enhance a retailer's ability to add POS and Management clients when and where they are needed without the costs associated with competing server platforms."
"iAnywhere Solutions has worked with ECRS for more than five years, providing SQL Anywhere Studio as the easy-to-use and scalable embedded database that powers Catapult," said Chris Kleisath, Director of Engineering at iAnywhere Solutions, a subsidiary of Sybase. "As a result of our combined technology, the Catapult Appliance Server can ensure robust data integrity and low administration costs to its customers."
