To really make an application cloud-enabled, you need to facilitate "on-demand, convenient, rapid provisioning that can be released with minimal management overhead or service provider involvement". A virtual appliance, created using IBM ICCT is how you truly make your application cloud-enabled!</div> <div style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </div> <div style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">With IBM PureSystems, you get to deploy virtual appliances, individually or as groups, that are fully and expertly integrated, and that solve specific complex problems.</div> <div style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </div> <div style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">FusionWare can help you create a virtual appliance to truly cloud enable your applications.

You can call these from another stored procedure, or from a trigger, or from any place that a stored procedure can be accessed, making it a very powerful feature.<br /> <br /> <br /> There are some stringent limitations on what these assemblies can reference as they need to operate in a sandboxed environment.</div> <div style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;"><br /> </div> <div style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">FusionWare has a special variation of the <span style="-webkit-transition: color 0.3s; color: #009eb8;"><a href="http://www.fwic.net/Products/MultiValueProducts/FusionWaremvLynxManagedProvider.aspx" target="_blank" style="color: #009eb8; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; outline: none; -webkit-transition: color 0.3s; display: inline;">FusionWare mvLynxManaged Provider</a></span> that does not reference any components that are not compatible with the sandboxed environment of SQL Server.<br /> <br /> </div> <div style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">In this post we look at the steps to create a CLR stored procedure that writes to your MultiValue files.</div> </article> </main></body></html>
