Kabira Unveils Java Technology-Enabled Product
(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Kabira Technologies, a provider of extreme transaction processing
software for global enterprises, announced at the 2008 JavaOne
Conference in San Francisco that it is building a Java
technology-enabled product to work with its core product technology,
the Kabira eXtreme Transaction Platform (KXTP) software.
Marrying a Java technology development environment to the Kabira
Runtime, the company noted, enables an application developer to inherit
integrated transactionality, high performance, transparent
distribution, persistent shared memory data, high availability and
high-speed channels from Kabira's technology into native Java
applications, while preserving the robustness of the Kabira runtime
technology.
"Our experience over the last 12 years deploying our technology to over
100 customers in 40 countries, in some of the most demanding
mission-critical customer environments around the globe, has allowed
Kabira to encapsulate and harden our runtime technology," said Dirk
Epperson, global vice president of strategy for Kabira. "Now that KXTP
can work with an optional Java technology-based development
environment, Java applications can be deployed in extreme environments
that require five-nines (99.999 percent) reliability. Often this
requires substantially less code as compared with Java EE or other POJO
solutions."
Kabira noted that KXTP enables many details to be abstracted away from
the developer, so development effort is focused on custom business
logic, not APIs. Environmental details can be added by configuration,
so business logic code can be re-purposed to new technologies with
little or no change, and application logic changes can be implemented
more easily, with a higher probability of success. Epperson added, "By
leveraging KXTP, Java technology and C++ modules can be seamlessly
integrated into a single, orchestrated, transactional work flow."
"We believe that with Kabira, Java developers can attain robustness
goals that were previously only accessible in the world of Tandem and
mainframe applications," said Paul Sutton, president and chief
executive officer of Kabira. "We designed Kabira technology to deliver
the performance of the big, at the price performance of the small on
open systems hardware like Solaris and Linux." Sutton added, "This
means that with Kabira, Java applications can be delivered with
real-time mission-critical performance, at a fraction of the cost and
investment of existing alternatives. At the same time, this enables
companies to scale to meet transaction growth or the need to support
more complex transactions, easily and with more favorable impact to a
company's bottom-line."
