Progress Webspeed

Webspeed is a progress technology that blends access to the database with web presentation. It is ideal for “industrial strength” web sites that have outgrown the limitations of the freeware products such as php and MySQL. With Webspeed your application can scale to support hundreds or even thousands of users.
