Art Technology Group Introduces Dynamo Application Server 3.0.BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 17, 1997-- Next generation complete Java platform Running Java programs under the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Java "platform" refers to the running of Java programs versus Java itself, which is a programming language. Java programs are machine independent and run intact on any hardware platform that has a Java interpreter (JVM). for developing dynamic, mission-critical Web applications built on proven technology and industry standards One of the first development platforms to utilize JavaBeans components for building server-side applications Art Technology Group (ATG ATG antithymocyte globulin. lymphocyte immune globulin (antithymocyte globulin equine, ATG, ATG equine, LIG) Atgam Pharmacologic class: Immunoglobulin Therapeutic class: Immunosuppressant ), an innovator of Internet products and services that enable leadership companies to do business online, today announced the availability of Dynamo Application Server Dynamo Application Server (DAS) is J2EE compliant application server from Art Technology Group (ATG). DAS is no longer actively developed as ATG recommends using other J2EE applications servers for its products such as BEA WebLogic, JBoss or IBM WebSphere. 3.0, one of the first server-side Java platforms for rapid deployment of dynamic, mission-critical Web applications. Dynamo Application Server 3.0 ("Dynamo 3") represents the third generation of ATG's Dynamo platform, a proven technological leader in the Web development market. Dynamo 3 serves as the foundation for ATG's Dynamo family of Relationship Commerce products and offers businesses the most open platform available today for personalized marketing Personalized marketing (also called personalization, and sometimes called one-to-one marketing) is an extreme form of product differentiation. Whereas product differentiation tries to differentiate a product from competing ones, personalization tries to make a unique product and selling. Using Dynamo 3, developers can rapidly create and deploy sophisticated Web applications that integrate dynamic content and leverage existing business systems. The Dynamo 3 platform delivers unprecedented scalability and is designed to meet the highest demands of extensive Internet-wide applications, across multiple processors and servers. Dynamo 3 introduces an industry-first technology for assembling server applications from server-side JavaBeans components, creating a highly open, modular, reusable architecture. "ATG's real-world experience with several corporate Internet pioneers has spawned a surprisingly rich environment for managing Web-user relationships and dynamic content," said Chris Stevens, Senior Analyst at Aberdeen Group, Inc. "Dynamo integrates well with existing business systems to create dynamic Web applications without forcing new platform investments." "Dynamo 3 allows us to quickly develop server-side functionality that doesn't tie our clients to a single platform, database or Web server," said Chris Tacy, Co-founder and President, Fire Engine Red, a leading edge Web development house and strategic channel partner for Dynamo 3. "Dynamo 3 gives us the ideal platform for rapid development of high-performance platform independent Web server applications." Enterprise Scalability and Reliability, Increased Performance Dynamo 3 provides leadership organizations with a robust and extensible platform for creating, monitoring and expanding extensive, Internet-wide applications that require dynamic content delivery and personalization. The Dynamo 3 foundation enables developers to build and deploy large-scale applications that can grow without limits. With Dynamo 3, businesses deploying large-scale, traffic-intensive Web sites have unrivaled performance Java Web site on Dynamo (http://www.station.sony.com/) with over 100 million hits per week and over 1 milevent of server failure; the Dynamometer dynamometer /dy·na·mom·e·ter/ (di?nah-mom´e-ter) an instrument for measuring the force of muscular contraction. dy·na·mom·e·ter n. An instrument for measuring the degree of muscular power. consonderstands the competitive demands of a consumer Web site for fast deployment, robust performance and constant availability to drive online revenues. Dynamo is, quite simply, the superior choice for developing and deploying mission e benefits of Java. Dynamo 3 fully supports Java standards and takes advantage of the latest Java standards such as the JavaBeans Component Model, the Java Servlet API An extension to Java from Sun that provides a programming interface (API) for implementing server-side programs written in Java (Java servlets). See servlet. and Remote Method Invocation (programming) Remote Method Invocation - (RMI) Part of the Java programming language library which enables a Java program running on one computer to access the objects and methods of another Java program running on a different computer. http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1. to streamline development and allow for faster application deployment. "Sun is excited to see today's announcement of the Dynamo Application Server 3.0 from Art Technology Group," said Dr. Lew Tucker, director of developer services at Sun Microsystems' JavaSoft division. "ATG has provided both innovation and leadership in incorporating Java technology into its product development. ATG's work with Sony showcases its Dynamo platform with one of the largest server-side implementations of Java technology currently found on the Internet." "Industry-first" JavaBeans Component Model Dynamo 3 provides a groundbreaking server-side JavaBeans component framework allowing server applications to be assembled from modular, reusable components. The component model empowers Web developers by separating HTML HTML in full HyperText Markup Language Markup language derived from SGML that is used to prepare hypertext documents. Relatively easy for nonprogrammers to master, HTML is the language used for documents on the World Wide Web. design from Java programming, streamlining both UI design and engineering processes. Dynamo 3 takes object-oriented programming and reusability to the next step, allowing any component to be individually inspected, administered or upgraded at run-time without affecting the others. Dynamo 3.0 Technical Specifications Server Hardware and OS: -- Sun SPARC (Scalable Performance ARChitecture) A family of RISC CPUs from Sun that runs mostly under Sun's Solaris, but also under Linux and BSD operating systems. After development began in the mid-1980s by David Patterson of the University of California at Berkeley and Bill with Solaris 2.4/2.5 -- Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0 -- Silicon Graphics IRIX A Unix-based operating system from SGI that is used in its computer systems from desktop to supercomputer. It is an enhanced version of Unix System V Release 4. IRIX integrates the X Window system with OpenGL, creating the first real time 3D X environment. 5.3 Databases supported: -- Oracle 7.3 -- Sybase 11.x -- Microsoft SQL SQL in full Structured Query Language. Computer programming language used for retrieving records or parts of records in databases and performing various calculations before displaying the results. 6.5 (JDBC drivers included) Security Dynamo Application Server 3.0 comes equipped with all standard HTTP server security mechanisms, including SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) The leading security protocol on the Internet. Developed by Netscape, SSL is widely used to do two things: to validate the identity of a Web site and to create an encrypted connection for sending credit card and other personal data. and SHTTP (Secure HTTP) A protocol that provides secure transactions over the Web. It is endorsed by a variety of organizations. See security protocol. . Pricing and Availability Pricing for Dynamo Application Server 3.0 is priced per server: $10,000 for 1 processor, $5,000 for each additional processor.
