Upcoming Ejipt Release Highlights Scalability and Resource Management.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 1, 1999--

Valto Systems announced today that Ejipt(tm) 1.2 has been tuned for scalability and efficient management of server resources. Ejipt 1.2, to be introduced at JavaOne(tm) on June 15th, is capable of maintaining hundreds of thousands of Enterprise JavaBeans(tm) (EJB) objects while serving tens of thousands of concurrent clients.

Ejipt, a second-generation all Java(tm) EJB application server, leverages the Java 2 platform in implementing advanced resource management capabilities not found in classic CORBA or JDK 1.1 based implementations. "With Ejipt, the usage of entity beans is no more expensive than that of sessions beans, thus eliminating the need for cumbersome and error-prone wrapping of entity beans with session beans," said Imre Kifor, Founder and CTO of Valto Systems. "This is a significant advantage Ejipt has over other EJB implementations."

Ejipt's distributed 2-phase commit transaction management allows for robust solutions to complex business demands. Ejipt is based on standard APIs from Sun, including EJB, RMI, JNDI, JDBC, JTA and security. With its compliance to these standards, Ejipt significantly reduces the risk in deploying distributed component-based applications and protects application developers from costly proprietary implementations.

Ejipt, with its installed footprint of less than 300Kb, can easily be deployed on a laptop while at the same time provides massive scalability in multi-processor server environments. Ejipt's standards-based architecture and small footprint make it an ideal choice for embedding in specialized application servers and/or distributed software products.

Ejipt is available for purchase directly from Valto's web site at www.valto.com. Pricing for Ejipt Developer is $495.00. Ejipt Server, a fully configured app server with unlimited clients, is $2495.00. Custom configurations with significant pricing incentives are available to ISVs. The Ejipt Evaluation Program, good for a free 30-day trial period, is also available from the web site.
