Arjuna is proud to release Agility™ 2.0. The focus of this release was to port the server to run inside a Java EE application server. This step reduces the learning curve and greatly simplifies writing policy. With technologies such as EJB, JMS, JCA, JAX-WS, CDI, etc. Java EE is the perfect environment to write policy in, and allows policy to interract with a magnitude of existing systems.
Arjuna engaged by Inkspot to utilise Agility within their Portable, Scalable and Secure Cloud Computing Platform in order to introduce sophisticated management and security policies in a multi-cloud environment.

Mark Little (Technical Director of Red Hat's SOA Platform) takes a look at Arjuna's Agility platform
"Although there are some of the usual suspects you would expect to see in a Cloud-platform, such as controlled sharing of services across administrative boundaries and dynamic provisioning of services, there are some potentially novel aspects that make this more interesting".
451 Group's William Fellows talks about Arjuna's new technology offering.
In reviewing Arjuna's White Paper, Mark Little (Technical Director of Red Hat's SOA Platform) considers the trade-offs to be made from the move to SOA and greater agility.
"...there's no such thing as a free lunch".
Steve Caughey, CEO of Arjuna Technologies, talks to Gillian Law of Grid Computing now about fault-tolerance for transactional applications operating on a grid-based application platform.
"In a world where applications are running anywhere, one box can fail but others keep running on the same application, not aware that things have gone wrong. Partial failure is a huge problem in large scale distributed systems. You have to try to understand what data is being shared, and be able to detect where and when things go wrong".
451 Group's William Fellows talks about Arjuna's research into fault tolerance and reliability in grid computing.
Red Hat (NASDAQ: RHAT), the world's leading provider of open source solutions to the enterprise, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire JBoss, the global leader in open source middleware.
