Lutris Accelerates Wireless Internet Application Deployment
LAS VEGAS, March 20, 2001--CTIA WIRELESS 2001--Lutris
Technologies Inc., a leading provider of application server technology for wired and
wireless development and deployment, today announced new targeted wireless consulting
services, new heterogeneous wireless client platform support, and new enterprise
hardware certifications for the Lutris Enhydra Java/XML application server. With these
consulting, training and product offerings, Lutris customers and ISV partners enjoy a
clear advantage in wireless application development. Lutris continues to deliver on the
promise of Enhydra: an open platform that allows one application to easily talk to any
device over any protocol.
"Our customers and partners are tired of duplicating applications in order to provide
wired and wireless access to their users," said Yancy Lind, CEO of Lutris. "They're
looking for the simplicity of a single, supportable application. They want the flexibility to
target any of their users' device types, from HTML to WAP to i-mode to PDAs. With no
proprietary languages or vendor lock-in, Lutris Enhydra and our services provide
customers with an easy to use and entirely portable application Internet infrastructure."
Lutris Targeted Services for Wireless, Architecture and Performance
A comprehensive suite of services aimed at helping customers streamline their Web
site and custom Web application developments is now available from Lutris. Lutris
Targeted Services allow customers to purchase only the type and amount of service they
need to augment or validate their existing Web or wireless application development
efforts. Lutris Targeted Services (Wireless Planning, Enhydra Application Architecture
Assessment and Enhydra Application Performance Assessment) include a two-day
executive planning session on developing wireless Web applications, as well as
architectural and performance assessments for applications built with the Enhydra
application server. Lutris will soon offer other Targeted Services that derive from its core
expertise in the planning, development and full life cycle management of Enhydra-based
Web applications. These will include branding, graphic design, usability analysis and
platform migration services.
Expanded Wireless Support
In order to more fully support both the emerging Sun Java 2 Micro-Edition(TM)
(J2ME) and Microsoft .NET wireless devices and appliances, Lutris Enhydra 3.5 has
expanded support for wireless application development by integrating the Sun
Microsystems' J2ME Toolkit, XML extensions for Flash 5.0 on Palm, WinCE, and other
devices, and new certifications of the VoiceXML development suites from Nuance and
IBM. In conjunction with these server and client platform enhancements, Lutris has also
expanded its suite of training services to help customers accelerate their wireless
application development efforts.
Expanded Enterprise Hardware Certifications
In partnership with HP and Compaq, the Lutris Enhydra 3.5 Java/XML application
server now supports an increased range of enterprise server platforms. Working with HP,
Lutris has certified the HP e3000 MPE/iX 6.5, HP-UX 11.0, and HP Linux and Windows
Netserver product line. In collaboration with Compaq, Lutris has certified on the Alpha
64-bit chip within the Compaq Tru64 5.1 server family, as well as the enterprise capable
Linux 2.4 Kernel (SuSE 7.1). These certifications further Lutris' ability to work within
enterprise customers' existing heterogeneous environments, maximizing their investments
in both hardware and software
