Fiorano Continues to Pave Way to Higher Performance With New FioranoMQ 8.0 JMS Server

Posted on: Monday, 17 January 2005, 12:00 CST

LOS GATOS, Calif., Jan. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Fiorano Software Inc., a leading provider of Enterprise Integration Middleware, announced today the release of FioranoMQ 8.0, establishing a new performance and functionality standard for stand-alone Java Message Service (JMS) servers. FioranoMQ 8.0 delivers significant enhancements for enterprise-grade messaging in a number of key areas, from improved enterprise management capabilities and new administrative/configuration tools to a new Component Assembly Framework that allows for more efficient in-process message routing and dispatching.

With its many strategic improvements to strengthen JMS speed, usability and administration, FioranoMQ 8.0 continues to lead the messaging system segment. Among the top new features are:

-- "Software-Only" High Availability - Added to the existing Shared Disk

High Availability (HA) options, FioranoMQ 8.0's software-only option

allows enterprises to deliver HA without imposing any specific hardware

requirements, thus greatly reducing the overall cost of implementing HA

features;

-- Dynamic Subscription Propagation - To maximize efficiency of Wide Area

Network deployments, options have been re-introduced to route messages

across multiple MQ servers only if subscribers exist on the receiving

end;

-- J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA) Adapters - Enables bi-directional

integration with any J2EE container, supporting distributed

transactions (XA) between Fiorano MQ and application-server resources;

-- JMX-Based Monitoring and Administration - Users can now make fine-grain

runtime monitoring and administration adjustments to server components

using Java Management Extensions (JMX) that expose all Managed Objects,

Attributes, Operations and Notifications;

-- Configuration Tool - A new tool integrated within Fiorano Studio for

configuring a selected profile, allowing simpler configuration of

options like Database URI, username/password, Naming Service bindings

and more;

-- Full Feature C/C++ Client Libraries - Provides natively cross-compiled,

JNI-based C/C++ libraries and thin C/C++ native libraries with a full

list of features including XA, HA, and client-side persistence;

-- NIO-Based Connection Manager - A new connection management module to

maximize FioranoMQ server scalability on all Java platforms, using JRE

1.4+ based NIO support.

"FioranoMQ has always been the most complete JMS server on the market, offering reliability, speed, adaptability, scalability, and a full complement of productivity features. With Version 8.0, that reputation takes another big step forward," said Atul Saini, CEO and CTO of Fiorano Software. "We believe users will find an exciting new measure of performance and convenience through FioranoMQ 8.0's many improvements."

New Component Adapter Framework

Enabling many fresh capabilities in FioranoMQ 8.0 is a new Component Adapter Framework. The framework, which includes a container and core server components such as the Naming Service, Connection Manager, Repeater, and Bridge Manager among others, allows all components to be embedded within the server process, thus allowing more efficient routing and dispatching as well as centralized management.

The Component Adapter Framework configuration also provides unprecedented control in the hands of system administrators, not only for choosing a deployment profile which exactly matches requirements, but also for maximizing the utilization of available resources.

FioranoMQ 8.0 is immediately available to new customers for purchase; existing customers should contact their Fiorano sales representative or email sales@fiorano.com for upgrades.
