'''Extensible Services / Server''' or abbreviated "ES/S" is a set of multiplatform infrastructure Services and Systems developed for different purposes, that are grouped in main categories. The System provides a versatile and robust API-Layer, common instructions and capabilites as well as a unique composition on integrated features.
 
   
 
   
 +
== History ==
 +
Before utilizing a common infrastructre family, most services and products developed by Netroda Technologies have been enclosed "island" ecosystems that were not technically compatible in regards of data exchange, remote proceduring or sign-on. Altough technically still being different implementations, The Extensible Services / Server Systems structural improvements have lead to high interopabilitly between formerly enclosed entities.
 +
 +
The ES/Update API Serivce was originally launched as NPS ''Netroda Platform Services'' in 2013.
 +
Original Netroda Platform Services have been decomissioned or replaced by the ES/Update System. Despite from being only a API Layer, the ES/S Family Update Service now includes specific Services for a multitude of use cases, including  Weather Forecast, News Provider, Communication Gateways and Proxy Services.
 +
 +
The Collation of the Services lead Netroda Technologies to unify the Products to the new, common Name, that aside from using unified Services, also provide high interopability and transparence, while maintaining high extensiblity.
 +
 +
Since ES/S Compatibility Layer introduction in 2016, all ES/S Branded applications can be connected together in different scenarius.
 +
This has been made possible by using a single, mandatory set of instructions (so called ES/Compat Mode) and a common database of Exceptions, Types, Enumerations and Calls (ES/Reference, ES/Object, ES/Enum and ES/Invoke).

Special to the Business Branch (B) is, that a separate branch of system exists inside the hierarchy. The Business Legacy Systems co-exits aside from the more recent Business branch. Due to historic reasons, the systems cannot be easily merged together, but they gracefully cooperate and blend to gether in a mixed environment. Today, most legacy sytems use a adapted version of ES/S-B (ARITA) that features high backward compatibility for legacy modules, and keeps the non-includable moduly ready on call. The Legacy Systems then benefit from the high security standards of ES/S-B and keep most historic features.

Extensible Services / Server or abbreviated "ES/S" is a set of multiplatform infrastructure Services and Systems developed for different purposes, that are grouped in main categories. The System provides a versatile and robust API-Layer, common instructions and capabilites as well as a unique composition on integrated features.

History

Before utilizing a common infrastructre family, most services and products developed by Netroda Technologies have been enclosed "island" ecosystems that were not technically compatible in regards of data exchange, remote proceduring or sign-on. Altough technically still being different implementations, The Extensible Services / Server Systems structural improvements have lead to high interopabilitly between formerly enclosed entities.

The ES/Update API Serivce was originally launched as NPS Netroda Platform Services in 2013. Original Netroda Platform Services have been decomissioned or replaced by the ES/Update System. Despite from being only a API Layer, the ES/S Family Update Service now includes specific Services for a multitude of use cases, including Weather Forecast, News Provider, Communication Gateways and Proxy Services.

The Collation of the Services lead Netroda Technologies to unify the Products to the new, common Name, that aside from using unified Services, also provide high interopability and transparence, while maintaining high extensiblity.

Since ES/S Compatibility Layer introduction in 2016, all ES/S Branded applications can be connected together in different scenarius. This has been made possible by using a single, mandatory set of instructions (so called ES/Compat Mode) and a common database of Exceptions, Types, Enumerations and Calls (ES/Reference, ES/Object, ES/Enum and ES/Invoke).

Today, most legacy sytems use a adapted version of ES/S-B (ARITA) that features high backward compatibility for legacy modules, and keeps the non-includable moduly ready on call.
