What is Dino

 History of Dino Technology

Dino™ arose from the need for a stable, user-friendly method to operate a network of PCs.

In the development of the Dino™ technology, particular attention was paid to the issue of server vulnerability in traditional networks. DINO makes client PCs increasingly independent and the server is used only to exchange essential data between the PCs.

Stable: in a traditional network the server is a very weak link, because it forms the heart of the configuration. When the heart fails the entire system goes down. One of the aims in the development of Dino™ was to transform the server from a vital link into a link that merely takes care of communication between the different players. The result is that Dino™ takes up no more than 3 percent of a network’s capacity, which greatly improves stability.

User-friendly: another aim of the developers of Dino™ was to create a network technology that would make complex network configurations and installations superfluous. Given the fact that the time required to install a Dino™ network is equal to the time required to unpack and connect the equipment, we can safely say they have succeeded in this.

Traditional network vs Dino

Client-Server (traditional)

The server executes all the commands at the request of the workstations
Disadventages :
  • server and network dependency
  • improving stability via SQL or mirred HD is expensive and complicated

Multi-User (traditional)

The server makes a database available to the workstation. The workstation draws its information from the database and executes the command itself.
Disadventages :
  • server and network dependency
  • improving stability via SQL or mirred HD is expensive and complicated

Dino™

Characteristics :
  • software has been set up in an object-oriented way
  • Specially developed synchronisation technology ensures that only changes to objects are distributed over the network
  • Each station has all objects available locally in the RAM which makes them more autonomous
  • Server-independent
  • Network-independent
  • Extreme low network load
  • Compatible with Internet

Product Range

ETC offers a complete computerisation solution for the hospitality sector. The ETC solution relates to different aspects of an establishment, i.e. cash register management (Phili), bar automation (N32), stock management (BOS), reservation and sports. All products are developed in-house, make use of DINO technology and are the synthesis of the wishes of more than 5,000 customers.

The ETC system can be managed real-time from one central point, in other words you as the owner can manage the operations of your establishment remotely and in a very detailed manner: reports, price changes, checking staff attendance via the integrated clock-in system, etc.

Statistically, this complete management system should help you earn 15 percent more because you reduce waste, wrong measures and theft by 85 percent. This means that we really sell profit rather than products!
