SYSTINET ANNOUNCES SIXTH-GENERATION OF WEB SERVICES ENABLEMENT PRODUCTS WITH INDUSTRY'S BEST PERFORMANCE, SECURITY, AND INTEROPERABILITY

SYSTINET SERVER SHOWS STRONG MARKET MOMENTUM AS ENTERPRISE SOA ADOPTION MATURES

Systinet, the leading software provider of the foundation for SOA governance and lifecycle management, today announced the sixth generation of its award-winning Systinet Server family of products for creating Java and C/C++ Web services. The new releases continue to lead the industry with unrivalled performance, security and interoperability, providing a complete, cost-effective solution for developing enterprise-class Web services that can be deployed with confidence to support business-critical applications. Using Systinet Server, Web services can be created and shared by enterprise users as part of their SOA initiatives, or easily embedded by ISVs in their software products. Systinet Server is a proven technology widely adopted by industry leaders including Amazon.com, CIBC, T-Mobile, and the US Department of Defense, as well as ISVs such as BMC Software, Cognos, FileNet, Interwoven and Progress Software.

"As Web services adoption increases in scale and business impact, many customers are reconsidering the solutions they will rely on to support their business," said Roman Stanek, founder and chief software architect, Systinet Corporation. "Customers who used open source products for small-scale pilot projects are turning to Systinet Server for more sophisticated and broader enterprise deployments where performance, security, and overall standards support become critical. Systinet delivers a proven solution backed by expert technical staff and world-class product support."

While Web services can simplify integration and improve business agility, they also present a significant challenge when it comes to speed and performance, restricting the applications where they can be used. Systinet Server offers the industry's best performance and scalability: In independent customer tests, Server out-performed Apache Axis by 2-3 times and also offered much greater scalability as the numbers of service users increased. As a result, customers are able to deploy Systinet Server is a much broader range of performance-sensitive applications without resorting to costly hardware accelerators or XML compression.

Systinet Server also offers unmatched security, ensuring complete service and information integrity. Systinet Server leverages users' existing security infrastructure with a user-configurable framework that provides multiple approaches to sending messages over secured transports and securing the message content itself. Netegrity SiteMinder, Kerberos, Microsoft ActiveDirectory, or any LDAP-based security solutions are also supported. Customers can deploy Systinet Server in the most security conscious environments without having to invest in any new security systems.

Most Web services are deployed in heterogeneous IT environments, yet Web services interoperability across different platforms, operating systems and programming languages is not always guaranteed, even with standards support. Systinet Server has best-in-class results in independent interoperability tests, such as SOAPBuilders. Support is especially strong with Microsoft .NET, and both companies have teamed to ensure seamless, out-of-the-box interoperability between both solutions. Systinet also has unique support for the latest version of the Web Services Interoperability (WS-I) Basic Profile, and provides tools to test for WS-I compliance before a service is deployed into production. Using Systinet Server is the best assurance that Web services can be easily consumed and reused by other enterprise users, business partners or customers.

"Good Technology is the leader in wireless handheld computing software, leveraging wherever possible industry standards," said Adam Blum, Director of Server Software, Good Technology. "When we looked for a Web services solution to tie together our various server software components for email, web browsing and other mobile data solutions, we needed enterprise-class performance, proven interoperability, and a partner that could provide expert advice and support. Systinet Server met the bill."
