Combined Offering Delivers Comprehensive Governance to Enterprise Web 2.0 Applications

AJAXWorld Conference & Expo 2007 East – NEW YORK – March 20, 2007 – JackBe, the premier provider of Enterprise Web 2.0 infrastructure solutions that integrate SOA and Ajax to create Rich Enterprise Applications (REA), today announced a partnership with SOA Software, the leading provider of comprehensive Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Web Services governance, management, security, and mediation solutions, to provide users of AJAX and SOA Services a full governance, management, and security solution.

The convergence of AJAX and SOA provides numerous opportunities for truly dynamic and cost-effective enterprise applications.  As developers and architects continue to embrace this technology to deliver enterprise-class Enterprise Web 2.0 applications, these applications require a much higher lever of security, governance, and performance.

The JackBe and SOA Software partnership addresses these requirements by providing a highly-scalable and secure producer-to-consumer runtime solution.  By combining the award-winning SOA Software Infrastructure Suite, which includes Service Manager, WorkBench, Network Director, and SOLA, with JackBe’s Presto Enterprise Web 2.0 Infrastructure Platform, the joint JackBe and SOA Software solution provides the following advantageous features to Enterprise Web 2.0 users:

• Governance of SOA Services accessed through JackBe’s Enterprise Web 2.0 platform,
• Quality of service for SOA Services in an AJAX architecture,
• Comprehensive security for browser-to-SOA service communication,
• Design-time and run-time SOA access governance.

“This partnership offers tremendous benefits for our customers,” said Luis Derechin, CEO of JackBe.  “AJAX has come of age, and the IT community now demands serious enterprise-class governance of Web services that interact with AJAX clients. With this partnership, we are now prepared to offer a complete, producer-to-consumer solution to our customers.”

“JackBe is a leader in the Enterprise Web 2.0 Infrastructure category,” said Roberto Medrano, SOA Software’s Executive Vice President.  “We are pleased to be partnering with them in this exciting emerging area and excited about the opportunity to give our customers a wider range of uses for their governance solutions.”
