Cape Clear Announces General Availability of Cape Clear 7

Cape Clear Software has announced the general availability of Cape Clear 7, which is designed to meet the challenging reliability, scalability, and performance requirements of the rapidly-growing On-Demand Integration market. In development for more than a year and beta tested by more than 150 customers, the Cape Clear 7 ESB Platform delivers uptime and rapid recovery with unprecedented scalability. In an Intel benchmarking study, Cape Clear 7 supported more than 5 million simultaneous BPEL business processes, and generated more than 37 million daily transactions without compromising performance. Cape Clear 7 also ships an advanced implementation of the Eclipse toolset for rapid ESB Platform development and management, all from within one integrated and easy-to-use environment.

In today's accelerated business environment, simply delivering software applications across the Internet is not a source of competitive advantage. Truly sustainable business benefits come from delivering a vast array of content and services "on demand" to a wide range of highly-distributed customers, suppliers, business partners, and government agencies. Large, medium, and small organizations alike now realize that the challenge of integrating with both internal and external systems to support these on-demand business models is difficult to overcome.

On-Demand Integration provides the fastest, most reliable, and most cost-effective approach to securely connect any content, service, or software across the Internet using Web services. Cape Clear 7 for On-Demand Integration lowers project risk through:
• A single unified toolset that maximizes developer productivity and service reusability;
• A non-proprietary 'stack' bias that eliminates vendor lock-in giving organizations the freedom to integrate across complex and distributed heterogeneous systems;
• Non-invasive technology that is lightweight to deploy, but a heavyweight performer that scales to support the most demanding mission-critical performance scenarios.

The Cape Clear 7 ESB Platform for On-Demand Integration is a major release that delivers the following benefits to customers:
• Mission-critical performance through an enhanced Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) engine, benchmarked at more than 37 million daily transactions without compromising performance;
• Scalability with constant response times through server affinity clustering, benchmarked to more than 5 million complex and simultaneously long-running business processes;
• Reliability and high availability is built in to handle all main sources of external system failure and provides rapid recovery should a failure occur;
• Increased developer productivity from an advanced Eclipse implementation that provides ease-of-use frameworks, allowing quick development, integration, provisioning, and delivery of On-Demand Integration services.
