<h2>1.1. What is Virtuoso?</h2>
<p>OpenLink Virtuoso is the first CROSS PLATFORM Universal Server to
implement Web, File, and Database server functionality alongside Native XML
Storage, and Universal Data Access Middleware, as a single server solution.
It includes support for key Internet, Web, and Data Access standards such
as: XML, XPATH, XSLT, SOAP, WSDL, UDDI, WebDAV, SMTP, SQL-92, ODBC, JDBC,
and OLE-DB. Virtuoso currently supports the following Operating systems -
Windows 95/98/NT/2000, Linux (Intel, Alpha, Mips, PPC), Solaris, AIX, HP-UX,
Unixware, IRIX, Digital UNIX, DYNIX/PTX, FreeBSD, SCO, MacOS X.</p>
<p>Virtuoso is a revolutionary, next generation, high-performance virtual database engine
for the Distributed Computing Age. It is a core universal data access technology set to
accelerate our advances into the emerging Information Age.</p>
<p>Virtuoso provides transparent access to your existing data sources, which are typically
databases from different database vendors.</p>
<p>Through a single connection, Virtuoso will simultaneously connect your ODBC, JDBC,
UDBC, OLE-DB client applications and services to data within Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server,
DB/2, Informix, Progress, CA-Ingres and other ODBC compliant database engines. All your
databases are treated as single logical unit.</p>
<p>The diagram below depicts how applications that are built in conformance with industry
standards (such as ODBC, JDBC, UDBC, and OLE-DB) only need to make a single connection via
Virtuoso's Virtual Database Engine and end up with concurrent and real-time access to data
within different database types.</p>
<p>Further still, Virtuoso exposes all of its functionality to Web Services.
This means that your existing infrastructure can be used support Web Services
directly without any hint of replacement.
