HP Partners With BEA and Symantec to Offer Enterprise Java Application Development and Deployment on HP-UX and Windows NT Platforms.PALO ALTO Palo Alto, city, California Palo Alto (păl`ō ăl`tō), city (1990 pop. 55,900), Santa Clara co., W Calif.; inc. 1894. Although primarily residential, Palo Alto has aerospace, electronics, and advanced research industries. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 9, 1998-- Offer Includes Free Application-server Development Platform as Part of HP Foundation Program Hewlett-Packard Company today announced phase two of its HP Foundation Program -- an agreement to distribute a developer license for the BEA WebLogic A software suite from BEA Systems, Inc., San Jose, CA (www.beasys.com) that is used to deploy Web and SOA applications. The core product is BEA WebLogic Server, a J2EE application server. application server and a trial version of Symantec VisualCafe Enterprise Suite worldwide. By offering the Java(TM) development and deployment tools most favored by Java developers, HP enables its customers to optimize the deployment of Internet applications for the HP-UX HP's version of Unix that runs on its 9000 family. It is based on SVID and incorporates features from BSD Unix along with several HP innovations. (operating system) HP-UX - The version of Unix running on Hewlett-Packard workstations. (1) and Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs. NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see Windows). Available in separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive multitasking. (R) platforms. Registered HP-UX and Windows NT developers that purchase a year of BEA BEA - Basic programming Environment for interactive-graphical Applications, from Siemens-Nixdorf. "Developers Support 5x8" ($995) will receive a free license for BEA WebLogic, which supports the Enterprise Java Beans See JavaBeans. (EJB (Enterprise JavaBeans) A software component in Sun's J2EE platform, which provides a pure Java environment for developing and running distributed applications. EJBs are written as software modules that contain the business logic of the application. ) standard. Unlike some competitive offerings, which are limited to a trial period, HP offers unlimited time with a complete application-server development kit. "HP recognizes the business value of the enterprise 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). , especially when used in conjunction with HP's reliable and highly available systems, for deploying business-critical applications on the Internet," said Nigel Ball, general manager for HP's Internet and Application Systems Division. "By equipping HP developers with leading Java development tools, we're reinforcing our commitment to bring the virtues of Java technology to mainstream enterprise businesses." VisualCafe Enterprise Suite for Development VisualCafe Enterprise Suite is the first of a new generation of software tools for Enterprise Rapid Application Development (ERAD ERAD ER Associated Protein Degradation (biology) ERAD Endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein degradation ERAD Enterprise Rapid Application Development ERAD En Route Radar ERAD Economic and Regulatory Analysis Division ) using Java. ERAD technology makes the development of distributed applications running on multiple, often geographically dispersed, computers as easy as developing software on a single machine. As the first Java-based ERAD tool, VisualCafe Enterprise Suite minimizes risk, reduces complexity and increases developers' competitive edge. In addition, because it is tightly integrated with best-of-breed components -- including applications servers, platforms and more than 300 complementary development software packages -- developers have the flexibility to make the right IDE component choices for their environments. A key feature of VisualCafe Enterprise Suite is its ability to let developers target and debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. distributed Java applications on remote HP-UX servers from their NT development workstations, significantly reducing the effort required to build distributed applications. BEA WebLogic Application Server for Deployment BEA WebLogic provides an industry-leading application server for developing, integrating, deploying and managing large-scale distributed applications for the Java programming language. With its comprehensive support for the Enterprise Java APIs There are three types of Java Programming Language Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) :
HP Foundation Program The HP Foundation Program, introduced in April, is built on HP Foundation Tools and HP FoundationWare products and technologies. Foundation Tools simplify enterprise Internet-application development for UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). (R) systems by using industry-leading NT development tools, and FoundationWare unifies application deployment by using platform-neutral middleware spanning UNIX and NT systems. Foundation Tools and FoundationWare allow software developers the choice and flexibility to develop enterprise applications in the C, C++ or Java languages on HP-UX and Windows NT systems. They support the same middleware for today's PA-RISC (Precision Architecture-RISC) A proprietary RISC-based CPU architecture from HP that was introduced in 1986. It is the foundation of HP's 3000 and 9000 computer families. See IA-64. (2) systems as for future IA-64 systems. U.S. Pricing and Availability HP's offer includes a single-user license for the BEA WebLogic application-server development platform. In addition, HP is expected to promote and distribute Symantec's VisualCafe Enterprise Suite worldwide from HP's Foundation Program Web site starting in the first quarter of 1999.
