Phurnace Software, a member of the AustinEmerging100 which you may have seen at the Innotech Beta Summit in 2007, today announced that its flagship product, Phurnace Deliver, will support the new IBM WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0. All of the Phurnace Deliver capabilities that have been available for WebSphere 5.1, 6.0, and 6.1 will now also be available for the 7.0 release. Additionally, Phurnace Deliver will automate the migration of applications from any of the previous WebSphere versions to WebSphere 7.0 and support all of the new capabilities introduced in the new release. The 7.0 support from Phurnace is planned to ship to customers in early Q1, 2009.
“Phurnace is committed to supporting the latest releases of the leading web application servers,” said Daniel Nelson, VP of products at Phurnace Software. He continued, “But we go a step further by enabling the streamlined migration of applications running on older versions of web app servers to the newer releases. This has always been a roadblock for users - they want to upgrade to the newer release, but their custom-built scripts have to be rewritten and the investment and challenges are just too high, so companies tend to stay on older, less functional releases. Phurnace is changing all of that. Migration issues will no longer be the stumbling block to upgrading.”
Phurnace Deliver provides comprehensive support for IT staff and developers during complex enterprise Java deployments to decrease errors, streamline deployments and avoid the downtime and outages that come with manual or script-based processes. The current user approach of paging through the console or building cumbersome scripts can be reduced or eliminated with Phurnace, therefore freeing up limited IT resources for more value-added tasks.
Phurnace also just received it’s “Ready for Websphere Portal” validation from IBM. |
