JavaOne Vendors Offer Open Source Tools
JavaOne exhibitors continue to showcase their offerings this week. Find out about open source products, tools for integration and distributed applications, Java IDEs, and more.
Azul Systems
Azul Systems (booth 441) introduced a network attached processing solution that unlocks the power of Java platform-based applications and eliminates capacity planning at the application level, as well as a lot of the cost and complexity associated with the traditional delivery of computing resources. Network attached processing is a relatively new approach for delivering compute resources that targets virtual machine-based applications and the transaction processing needs of the modern application tier. It provides significant amounts of compute capacity as a shared network service, similar to how network attached storage provides shared storage capacity to data centers. The company provides Azul Compute Appliance, a networking attached processing appliance that is a highly scalable, flat symmetric multiprocessing system for efficient virtual machine workloads.

Coridan
Coridan (booth 523) is introducing its MantaRay Activators, an open source product that works as messaging middleware without the middleware server. It allows organizations to use service-oriented and event-driven architectures in the same IT environment and at the same time, which is significantly faster and more flexible than bus-based and server-based solutions. The MantaRay Activator Framework introduces a new peer-to-peer architecture that gives developers direct communication between Web services, databases, and file types—all using a single API and no server, no bus, and no limit on the number of users.
