RainMaker Offers Support for 64-bit Windows Server &
Client Operating Systems
Law Firms Benefit from Improved Scalability, Speed and Performance
June 3, 2008
RainMaker Software, Inc., a full-service provider of Financial and Practice Management and Business Intelligence software for mid-large sized law firms, announced that that the newest release of RainMaker Platinum, version 8.2.4, is now fully optimized to support both 64-bit Windows Server and client operating systems. The Platinum system utilizes Microsoft® .NET Framework 2.0 and supports 64-bit Microsoft SQL Server 2005 databases, along with Windows Server 2003 64-bit edition. The implementation of a full 64-bit enterprise, incorporating Dual-Core and Quad-Core Intel Xeon 64-bit two or four processor servers, allows RainMaker Platinum to scale up to meet the needs of very large, multi-location law firms.
RainMaker’s true, 64-bit environment offers numerous client advantages, including:
| • |
Virtual Memory - Increased virtual memory from 4 GB to 16 TB. |
| • | Physical Memory - Increased physical memory to 32 GB with Windows 2003 Standard Edition, and 1 TB with Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition. |
| • | Database Performance – Nearly unlimited virtual memory address space, along with the support for more physical memory, makes it possible to get very large working sets entirely into memory, thereby improving performance and scalability. |
| • | Server Performance – RainMaker server components, like e-RainMaker Platinum and various other Platinum Windows Services, will operate more efficiently from the additional resources that a 64-bit environment provides. |
| • | Client Workstations & Applications – Even 32-bit applications that require extra memory address space will get an immediate benefit when running on a 64-bit operating system. Firms running Platinum applications on Terminal/Citrix servers will also notice improvements. |
"Many vendors run their software products on new 64-bit servers, but use 32-bit operating systems and databases," said RainMaker Vice President, Development, Lak Ayyar. "However, these products are throttled-back by utilizing older technology. We built our Platinum .NET product line from the ground up to be the industry’s top performer. Our support for a full 64-bit enterprise now delivers those criteria."
