Majitek Announces Free GridSystem Licensing For Technical Community
11/Nov/2007
Majitek releases GridSystem Developer Edition, a fully functional version of its flagship Grid Application Platform product, available free for non-commercial use.
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, November 11, 2007 – Majitek today announced that GridSystem Developer Edition, a fully functional version of its flagship Grid Application Platform product, would be made available free for non-commercial use.
“Our goal was to provide a simple way to try out an alternate high performance distributed application platform," said Rob Cumming, Director of Marketing, Majitek. “When developers and administrators are going to evaluate a product for XTP (extreme transaction processing) requirements, they need to use that product to its full capacity. Therefore we felt it was important that GridSystem Developer Edition should be a fully functional version of the platform."
Majitek GridSystem provides a next generation alternative to traditional Java Application Server platforms. Through the use of advanced SOA technology, Majitek enables any Java application to be deployed as an array of component parts running on a virtualized pool of computing resources. This distributed architectural approach provides near linear scaling of application throughput and processing and inherent high availability and reliability to any SOA runtime environment.
Enterprise ASP and SaaS product strategies utilising Web 2.0 require dynamic software environments composited from disparate SOA components that are continually evolving whilst maintaining constant availability to hundreds or thousands of concurrent users. Traditional application server platforms are designed to run single monolithic applications and become cumbersome and expensive when used to deliver fluid high performance distributed systems solutions.
“We are seeing a big shift in the enterprise application space," said Cumming. “We needed an alternative for our own customers and we are sure that there are others in the technical community who want to try something new. GridSystem Developer Edition provides a free and easy way to test this new approach for distributed application requirements of any scale or configuration."
GridSystem Developer Edition is available as a free download to all registered members of Majitek Tekcenter http://tekcenter.majitek.com
