Tower has pioneered Java performance enhancing technology, launching the first Java Virtual Machine to provide C++ like performance for Java applications. Tower customers have experienced performance improvements of 200 to 500 percent for their e-Business applications. TowerJ is the only JVM that delivers high levels of performance, scalability, manageability, reliability, and security across eight different server platforms. The company was first to use ahead-of-time compilation technology, and the first to deliver mixed-mode deployment run-time technology for dynamic updating of executionables. Additionally, Tower was the first server-side JVM clone vendor to receive a Java license from Sun(R). Recently, the company announced the first Professional Services (job) professional services - A department of a supplier providing consultancy and programming manpower for the supplier's products. Organization focused on assessing and optimizing server-side Java performance and scalability. Intel's Itanium processor includes new features for high-end scalability, reliability and availability. It complements and extends Intel's existing Pentium(R) III Xeon(TM) processors, reaching into the highest levels of computing to enable powerful servers and high-performance workstations to address the increasing demands that the Internet economy The Internet Economy refers to conducting business through markets whose infrastructure is based on the Internet and World-Wide Web. An Internet economy differs from a traditional economy in a number of ways, including: communication, market segmentation, distribution costs, and price. places on e-Businesses. "TowerJ on Itanium architecture is ideal for deploying Java based server applications," said Michael Pope, Director Solutions Development, Intel Corporation (company) Intel Corporation - A US microelectronics manufacturer. They produced the Intel 4004, Intel 8080, Intel 8086, Intel 80186, Intel 80286, Intel 80386, Intel 486 and Pentium microprocessor families as well as many other integrated circuits and personal computer networking . "Itanium architecture is designed for high performance computing. The TowerJ JVM is targeted to deliver optimized performance for Java based applications. Organizations developing and deploying Java-based e-Business sites will greatly benefit from using this powerful combination. Businesses can enjoy shortened development cycles, deliver products to market faster, and lower development and deployment costs, all while increasing performance and scalability." At the recent Intel Exchange 2000 Conference, Tower demonstrated TowerJ running an application stack The set of applications typically required by an organization. A typical "enterprise" application stack would include the basic office functions (word processing, spreadsheet, database, etc.), as well as a Web browser and e-mail and instant messaging programs. that included a sample e-Business site based on the Lutris Enhydra(TM) Application Server and TurboLinux(R) Operating System operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. running on an Intel Itanium Server. "When companies see `Intel Inside(R)' they know to expect quality and reliability," commented Madison Cloutier, vice president of marketing for Tower Technology Corporation. "It's very exciting to be the first Java performance solutions company to support Intel's Itanium processor based servers.
