VAAKYA DEVO contains all the components necessary to build, test and deliver web or rich client software applications. You do not need any third party components.

VAAKYA DEVO also provides DEVO Manager, a Project Management tool to help manage projects, users, source code versions, create application product licenses & installers for delivery.

• Rich Client applications or Web applications with Email & SMS integration
• Process/Transaction oriented, data rich, collaborative back office applications
• Customer focused front office applications
• Peripheral applications for large enterprises
• Individual personal productivity applications
• Highly interactive user data input & data analysis applications

DEPLOYMENT SUITE OR PRODUCTION SUITE consists of application runtime products necessary to execute applications developed on VAAKYA DEVO.

These runtime engines are available as APP SA, APP SERVER and WEB PORTAL Server (LITE). APP SA is for execution of Rich Client (Vaakya native GUI) Applications on a single Standalone/Desktop computer.

APP SERVER is for execution of Rich Client (Vaakya native GUI) Applications on a Collaborative, Client-Server (Offline) network

WEB PORTAL Server (LITE) is for executing online Web applications (Browser based) on Apache, IIS or any other CGI enabled Web Server.

Small & Medium business application users, personal / individual application users, large enterprise peripheral application users

Vaakya provides all the necessary components (below) that are required to create a software application (web or rich client) as well as deploy software on a desktop PC, Server or in future mobile devices.

• Vaakya is not just another programming or scripting language. It is a complete platform with all its foundation components bundled within a tiny footprint of 1.5 MB to create a single runtime (common for desktop standalone, client & server)
• Necessary components like Database, Application Server, Native User Interface (for Rich Client apps) as well as IDE (Development Tool) are made available at less than 1.5mb in size.
• The runtime components which have been built-ground up on 'C' language (within a tiny footprint of 1.5 MB) when delivered across various devices, creates a pervasive intelligence based distributed computing environment
• Vaakya technology is based on a new architecture design which enables a shift from the traditional resource & bandwidth hungry server-centric computing to smart client & grid based distributed computing

Benefits:

The architecture of this new technology has been primarily designed to support & scale for,

• Futuristic distributed/grid computing models
• Executable internet (executable programs delivered over the internet) applications
• For extended network applications (network of devices or appliances which are connected by wired or  
  wireless internet for specific applications - ex: Sensors, Telematics, Handhelds, IPTV, etc)

Innovate More, Code Less

• Vaakya has an easy and simple design approach to building applications
• It helps in rapid development of data & transaction oriented web/rich client software applications with its appropriate components and tools  
• The Framework hides most of the technical complexities in programming (like concurrency, transaction management, memory management, deployment modeling etc), thereby allowing you to focus on business processes and help develop applications quickly and efficiently
• Lesser lines of coding and easy manageability of code improves application reliability
• Simple configuration and built-in testing of components & applications improves turn around time
• Applications developed once, can be deployed as a standalone, client-server, web or on a saas model without re-architecting or re-design
• Application Architects & Developers using Vaakya will get a fundamental head start in using futuristic advanced Vaakya platform products when introduced

Go to market quickly

• If your business objective is to develop & deliver packaged or customized Web or Rich Client applications quickly, then Vaakya is the platform which will provide you faster business turnaround
• Adopt Vaakya platform early in your business and scale your application offering to new deployment/business models (standalone, client-server, web or saas) and access new markets using our future enterprise products
• ISV’s need not depend on any third party component vendors since VAAKYA DEVELOPMENT SUITE contains an integrated set of framework components (IDE, DB, App Server, Portal Server ) and management tools (Project Management, Product Licensing, Installer for delivery and Product Security)
• FREE Vaakya Zone PORTAL Server service provides an easy hosting platform for testing Web applications before delivery
• ISV’s can build and deliver applications faster thereby lowering TCO (total cost of ownership) and improving ROI (return on investment)

High Productivity, Low Cost

• Efficient and low cost investment for SMB’s (small & mid sized business) who choose Vaakya as a platform to buy packaged Vaakya applications or  build and deploy custom software applicationst
• All necessary middleware components (Database, App Server, Portal Server, DB/App Management Tools) required to deploy applications are provided in a single VAAKYA PRODUCTION SUITE  
• End Clients can easily scale their applications to add more users/locations and migrate on different deployment models like client-server (internet), web or saas (software as a service) or mobile using future Vaakya products without extensive investments
• Easy to change application functionality or data model to support dynamic change in business process
• Needs less hardware, bandwidth and man power resources to deploy and manage Vaakya applications
• Supports highly interactive and productive rich client UI or Browser UI for entering and viewing data
• If you plan to migrate or rewrite your existing applications, Vaakya is the right choice of platform, since it provides good scalability for future deployment models and business changes

Vaakya is intended to build and deploy both web (Browser based) or rich client (Vaakya GUI) applications, but currently does not support,

• External Database connectivity (csv/cdl based import/export is supported)
• Web Services based interoperability (in future releases) 
• Extensive Rich Client User Interface features (will be available in enterprise versions)
• Referential integrity checking is not supported. This has to be managed using access permissions
• “One-to-many” transactions can be captured using FORM component. However, transactions that involve hierarchical transactions, “One to many to many” must be implemented using multiple form components.
• Storage of unstructured data (files, images etc) (file based storage is possible, storage in DB will be supported in next release)

Vaakya Professional Application Framework Edition:

• To build advanced synchronous or asynchronous transaction based business or consumer software applications for standalone, LAN or internet based deployment
• 64 bit deployment support
• Unstructured data storage & Large file support
• Hierarchical processes capture
• Improved Rich Client User Interface features
• Hybrid desktop & web application interface

Vaakya Enterprise Application Framework Edition

An integrated, advanced Vaakya framework for large enterprise computing needs

• Enhanced graphics and user interface capabilities (drag and drop etc)
• Workflow / Business Rule Engine
• Business Intelligence & Data Analytic Tools
• Plug-in and API capability for Web Services integration
• Integrated Project Management utilities
• Fault tolerant and scalable servers
• Process Modeling
