Rhomobile Announces RhoSync 2.1

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Rhomobile today announced the 2.1 release of RhoSync – the Smartphone App Integration Server. RhoSync is a standalone server that simplifies building connectivity to backend enterprise applications and keeps application data current and accessible on users' smartphones even when offline. RhoSync 2.1 features out of the box source adapters for SalesForce. It also gives developers the ability to view statistics in their RhoSync application via the enhanced RhoSync Management Console.  

"RhoSync 2.1 continues our goal to offer features that enable developers to create robust, enterprise class applications that are easy to build and integrate into existing enterprise backends," said Adam Blum, CEO of Rhomobile. "With out of the box source adapters, developers do not have to write new code to connect to enterprise backends, resulting in a tremendous saving in development time and costs."

RhoSync 2.1 now features out of the box source adapters for SalesForce. This includes support for new SalesForce features such as their REST API and their new Chatter API. RhoSync also now offers both user by user sync partitions and app-wide sync partitions that all users share.  

Analytics are now available in the RhoSync Management Console offering increased visibility into usage and performance of any smartphone app. Developers and IT administrators are able to view key performance and management information such as user and device count as well as HTTP request/response time and backend application response timing. Developers are able to view statistics in their RhoSync Management Console as a visual graph. The resulting analytics highlight RhoSync's status as the fastest, most scalable sync server available.  

RhoSync enables enterprises to create applications for their mobile workforce that are fully integrated with existing enterprise applications.  RhoSync is the easiest way to connect to enterprise backends and drastically reduces developer effort in integrating with backend applications as they do not have to write the code to connect to the enterprise backend.  The typical Objective C app will spend the majority of its code doing connection, retrieval of data, parsing the data and populating and managing updates to the local database. RhoSync removes the need for all of that code, except the developer providing a small source adapter (typically less than a page of Ruby code).  

RhoSync 2.1 Features:
