Presto REA Platform

http://www.jackbe.com/blogs/

We’re very excited at JackBe to be announcing Presto, our Rich Enterprise Application (REA) Platform. Presto helps organizations optimize business activity, leveraging existing SOA investments and facilitating the development of rich, interactive Ajax-based applications.

I blogged recently about some different architectural approaches to combining SOA and Ajax and pointed out that a server-side proxy approach is key to supporting many of the the non-functional requirements so common in today’s Enterprise service infrastructure. Additionally, this approach allows for optimization over the wire between the browser and server (as opposed to focusing on SOAP from the browser) and supporting strong governance of the service infrastructure on the back end.

Presto is focused on just this sort of approach, supporting the creation of highly interactive and responsive applications, built on a governed service infrastructure and reliable and scalable web connectivity: Rich Enterprise Applications.

We hope to not only help people create better applications but to help people build the right applications. What is the right application? It’s what’s needed to get the job done. In what has been referred to as the Long Tail of Enterprise Software there is an unmet demand for many small IT systems that could enable tacit interactions within a business.

To help address this issue, Presto enables the creation of ad-hoc, situational applications, supporting the development of service and process-based mashup applications, while maintaining strong support for service governance, security, scalability, and reliability.

We believe this will help bring together SOA and Ajax in ways that will help organizations maximize the value of their existing technology investments. Lots more to come on this front in the near future and please let us know if you would like to learn more.

Interview with Dan Malks, Deepak Alur, & John Crupi of JackBe

http://sys-con.tv/read/239153.htm Live from JavaOne 2006 in San Francisco By: SYS-CON TV Jun. 21, 2006 12:00 PM I liked the fact that Danny Malks mentioned how JackBe is moving towards "lightweight" platform solutions direction with r egards to the convergance of SOA and the client while utilalyzing AJAX technologies. Sounds like a software model that could help other independent software vendors (ISVs), service providers and enterprises deploy their services exposed by their SOA as software as a service (SaaS). In addition, to not only creating meaningfull mashups, but provide a lightweight admin platform to regulate those atomic messages. Interesting listen from the former Sun team who brought us the J2EE bible. Only thing I noticed is that I had to quickly turn down my volume when John Crupi spoke a couple of times. He's so loud. I wonder if he's always so loud? Web 2.0, Mashup, Enterprise 2.0, AJAX, SOA, Composite Applications, Platform, Framework, l...

DC Metro Police

This happened to one of my best friends who just so happens to be of Pakistany origen. By the way he actually was born and grew up in OHIO. Way to go Metro and DC Police. "Last week I entered the metro with my wife. As usual, we were in haste and wanted to just board the train by making our way through the crowded gates. I have a Smart-card and replenish it once every 2 weeks. As i walked through the gate, i had -$0.30 on my card. If anyone has a Smartcard, they know that the card lets you be negative to a certain amount, but when you refill the card you have to make up the difference. That is a benefit of the Smart Card. But Officer BF Johnson didn't think so. He stopped me in my tracks, ordered me to approach him. He then ordered me to hand over my license and called the station to check for any suspicious (Obviously terror-related) activity from my end. He was telling me "you are riding on a negative balance, you are stealing from the metro". Yeah, lets call th...
