Smart Updater

Smart Updater is a powerful and revolutionary application which can analyze two versions of the same file and then create an update file that can be applied to several older versions. This results in a much smaller file that can be transferred over the network and applied to the older file versions thus making an exact replication of the new version!

Smart Updater has been designed for ease of use and for a multitude file types. Smart Updater can update ANY type of file! Example: Let's say that a database file that is 500Mb in size is located at several locations. A new database file has been generated and is now 501 Mb in size.

Smart Updater can analyze the differences between these files and extract the changes, thus creating an update file at a substantially reduced size. Smart Updater not only extracts the differences between the original and new file version, it also creates an update file that is COMPRESSED.

After the user predetermines the location of the files that need updating, Smart Updater will take the compressed Update File and apply it to the database file that is 500Mb in size. The Update File that is less then 1Mb in size will be applied across the network to the older file versions.

Before this technology was developed, the traditional method was to distribute the 501Mb file to all the locations that needed updating. The bandwidth to distribute a 501Mb file is substantially larger than distributing a 1Mb file. Smart Updater comes with a Client version that can be installed on PCs. The Client version can be used to check to determine if there is an update file that can be applied to the local target file stored on the PC.

The Client version takes a look at the update file and then applies the update to the file stored locally on the PC. Smart Updater is ideal to work with any scheduler to automate the update process. Any Type of File can be updated using Smart Updater!

Several Uses for Smart Updater Suite: Updating a Database with minimal bandwidth overhead Updating Large GIS Databases Update Mobile Data Applications via RF, RF LAN, etc due to smaller update files! Update Executables Update any type of file! Uses are continually growing for Smart Updater and Smart Updater Client.
