Lutris Technologies Announces Availability of Lutris EAS 4
URL(s): Lutris
SANTA CRUZ, Calif.--Sept. 17, 2001--Lutris Technologies Inc., a leading provider of
Java(TM)/XML application server products for building a Web of Services(TM), today announced the immediate
availability of Lutris EAS 4. Lutris EAS 4 delivers an enterprise quality J2EE(TM) application server platform designed as
a highly affordable platform for the wide range of business needs of ISVs, VARs, and end users. Lutris EAS 4 also
introduces the Services Architecture, an industry-leading innovation that implements the J2EE services as pluggable
modules, setting the stage for the delivery of modular Web Services and ISV/end-user applications developed as
services.
Lutris EAS 4 is designed from the bottom up to meet the needs of ISVs targeting the widest market possible, and
end-users seeking pervasive management and deployment control. Resting on a non-stop, operating system-like kernel
for hot deployment, the Services Architecture incorporates Java management extension (JMX) manageability into every
service as well as full versioning of service components for complete configuration and product packaging control. EAS 4
provides a superior return on investment by placing control in the hands of its partners with an architecture designed for
easy, modular upgrades, comprehensive application management as well as included "Customer Source" for the added
security of source code transparency.
Lutris EAS 4 is an enterprise class platform, highlighted by Lutris DynaCluster, a service that delivers session level
failover in EAS clusters for mission critical environments. Further, legacy enterprise Java applications can easily be
implemented as services and imported into the EAS 4 environment, enjoying the same level of manageability as any
other EAS service.
"IDC expects the application server market to grow from $2.1 billion in annual sales now to nearly $26 billion by 2005,"
said Michele Rosen of IDC. "There's a lot of room for movement and change, and a real opportunity for Lutris EAS as an
ISV focused J2EE application server."
The Lutris EAS Services Architecture offers the best of both worlds for those requiring J2EE APIs and those
implementing application models for which J2EE has not been designed. Developers can create J2EE-style, short
duration transactions with EJBs, then leverage the Services Architecture to implement the portions of their applications
that require long duration, process intensive, event driven transactions. Lutris EAS makes it possible to support the next
generation of application models such as CRM, ERP, Network and Systems Management (NSM) that require access to
more systems resources than are made available by the standard J2EE request/response specification.
Lutris EAS' modular architecture makes it an ideal platform for adding service-level Web Services enabled by SOAP
and UDDI, which can run as manageable platform services on the Lutris EAS server. Similarly, incorporating the earlier
wireless innovations of the industry leading Lutris Enhydra Java/XML application server, and Lutris' wireless partnerships
with Motorola, Nokia, Sun, Nextel and Cingular, Lutris EAS now represents the most comprehensive application server
supporting wireless services such as J2ME, i-mode, WAP, HTML as well as other client protocols on top of Web
Services and J2EE services.
