PowerClient

PowerClient transforms the way client/server applications are delivered by offering a streamlined, web-based deployment model with a strong focus on automation, security, and ease of use. Designed to eliminate the complexity of traditional installation processes, PowerClient enables automated deployment and updates directly through a web server.

With PowerClient, applications can be launched and installed via a simple hyperlink or URL, removing the need for manual installation steps or administrative privileges. This not only simplifies the user experience but also significantly reduces the IT overhead typically associated with application distribution and version control.

All necessary components-such as DLLs, images, configuration files, and the PowerBuilder Runtime-are automatically packaged and securely deployed. Each package is digitally signed and encrypted, ensuring application integrity and protecting sensitive resources during delivery.

Key features of PowerClient's automated deployment include:

  • Web-Based Delivery: Applications are accessed and installed from a web server using a URL, requiring no special permissions.

  • Automatic Updates: Deployed applications are kept up to date without user or administrator intervention, ensuring consistency across all users.

  • Secure Packaging: All files are encrypted and digitally signed to ensure tamper resistance and secure delivery.

  • Resource Management: PowerClient handles the bundling of all runtime dependencies, eliminating configuration issues on end-user machines.

  • Zero-Touch Installation: Users can run applications instantly, without needing to understand or manage the underlying installation process.

By automating deployment and updates, PowerClient not only accelerates the delivery of PowerBuilder applications but also improves security and reduces long-term maintenance efforts. It is an ideal solution for organizations looking to modernize client/server application delivery while retaining the performance and responsiveness of desktop applications.
