Borland Socket Server 7.0

Borland Socket Server, developed by Borland Corporation, is a lightweight middleware service designed to facilitate n-tier application communication over TCP/IP. Commonly used with Delphi and C++Builder DataSnap (formerly MIDAS) applications, it acts as a connection broker between client applications and application servers, providing a simple, reliable alternative to DCOM-based deployment.

Key capabilities:

• Routes client requests to registered DataSnap/MIDAS application servers built with Borland tools.
• Simplifies deployment by using a socket-based transport instead of complex DCOM configuration.
• Runs as either a Windows service or a standalone utility, with a console to monitor active connections and server status.
• Supports multiple concurrent client connections and centralized configuration of server endpoints.
• Offers basic logging and administrative controls to start, stop, and manage hosted application servers.

Borland Socket Server is especially well-suited for legacy enterprise systems that rely on Delphi or C++Builder multi-tier architectures, providing stable, low-overhead connectivity and straightforward administration in Windows environments.
