Curl Nitro is a part of an emerging group of technologies referred to as “fit clients.”
These technologies are a hybrid of Thick Clients (a.k.a. Fat Clients) and Thin Clients (HTML and RIA). Fit clients embrace the local processing and offline capabilities of Thick Clients while providing tooling normally associated with thin-client web applications. Fit Clients can leverage the processing power and disc space of the client machine, but they can also offer more restrictive and secure environments than client/server platforms.
Curl Nitro, announced in April 2008, makes these fit client capabilities easier than ever to access and implement complex, business-critical Web-based applications that cannot be developed with Ajax or other smart client technologies. Curl is best choice for enterprises for secure, mission-critical applications that use large data sets and require 3D and 2D rendering, sophisticated data input and visualization.
