JavaOne(SM) Conference, Booth #1312

JNLP-Compliant Solution Specifically Designed To

Provision, Manage and Update High-Availability Java(TM)

Technology-Based Applications

Sitraka Software, a provider of advanced Java(TM) technology-based development, deployment and management solutions, today announced support for Java Network Launching Protocol (JNLP) and API in DeployDirector, Sitraka's powerful enterprise solution to automate the provisioning, managing and updating of high availability Java applications.

"There is a requirement for high performance e-business applications with rich client functionality that must execute over the network, but outside the browser, and JNLP provides a clear standard for distributing these," said Patrick Smith, director of product management for DeployDirector at Sitraka Software. "DeployDirector represents a new approach to software distribution specific to Java. It simplifies the management of rapidly cycled production applications and provides a vehicle for the growth of the JNLP standard in the enterprise space."

JNLP provides a standard for packaging applications that can be executed across networks. DeployDirector's new compatibility with JNLP lets information technology (IT) organizations and independent software vendors (ISV) package, deliver and administer enterprise applications bundled for this standard.

Tailored to meet the unique demands of the Java environment, DeployDirector combines the ability to deploy JNLP-compliant applications to enterprise desktops with all the administrative control of server-side computing. DeployDirector's administration capability provides IT organizations and ISVs with an introspective view of their application defects across the enterprise so they can take corrective action though user-transparent updates or application rollbacks.

DeployDirector is compatible with every leading platform including the Solaris(TM) Operating Environment, WinNT, Win2000, AIX, HP-UX, Linux and any server that can run a Java technology-based servlet. AIX, HP-UX and Linux - including support for K desktop environment (KDE) and GNU Network Object Model Environment (Gnome) desktop environments - are now supported on the client.

Sitraka Software will be offering demonstrations of DeployDirector, in addition to JProbe 3.0, JClass 5.0 and JClass ServerChart, at booth #1312 at this year's JavaOne Conference in San Francisco.
