Appistry Launches Open Distribution Initiative
3/24/2008
"Mainstream application platforms such as Java EE application servers and .NET are wearing thin when it comes to supporting the growing transactional workloads generated by modern service-oriented and event-driven architectures (SOAs and EDAs)," said Massimo Pezzini, Gartner vice president of research and distinguished analyst, in a statement.
"Just a few years ago, Gartner was talking about these technologies as something for users with specialized needs," Charrington said. "But they're now seeing broader trends--Web 2.0, cloud computing, software as a service -- are driving grid-based platforms like ours into the mainstream."
Appistry is hosting a series of webinars to introduce the EAF Community Edition later this month and in early April. For more information about these events, and to download the community edition, click here.
