Paremus Announces Availability of Infiniflow 2.1
Paremus, an innovator in distributed enterprise computing, today announced the availability of the Infiniflow 2.1 Enterprise Service Fabric (ESF). An integrated, distributed Java application server, Infiniflow offers enterprise applications a unique combination of performance, high availability and unparalleled application agility at a much lower cost and improved flexibility than can be achieved by using conventional enterprise middleware. “Infiniflow allows users to easily develop and deploy a wide range of applications on a resilient, enterprise-wide utility grid built from commodity hardware,” said Gary Ebersole, CEO of Paremus. “Infiniflow brings the benefits of grid computing to the whole enterprise, not just a limited set of computationally-intensive applications.” The Infiniflow 2.1 release includes enhancements that enable the Infiniflow runtime environment to dynamically adapt to changing business requirements. These include: - A fabric scheduler service allowing the submission or termination of fabric-hosted composite applications based on calendar or environment trigger events. - A flexible host scheduling service that enables resource groups to respond to a variety of fabric-hosted resource requirements based upon calendar and ownership policies. - A dynamic enterprise compute resource marketplace allowing for the dynamic allocation of resource to fabric-hosted composite applications based upon flexible requirements, capability matching and Service Level Agreements. - Dynamic resource prioritization across a number of fabric-hosted composite applications, enabling the fabric to respond in real-time to changing application mixes and priority levels. - Audit and roles-based security, including integration to corporate LDAP services. - Advanced process network recursion and callback breakdown behaviors, allowing dynamic recursion within complex computation-bound compute environments. - Adaptive multi-threading and queuing mechanisms per user application. In addition to the fabric enhancements, Infiniflow 2.1 includes a fully integrated Management GUI with improved fabric configuration, process network control and run-time monitoring. “Businesses striving for enterprise data center virtualization want to decouple business processing workflows from particular hardware,” said Dr. Richard Nicholson, Paremus CTO and co-founder. “With its dynamic, distributed enterprise resource market and self-healing behaviours, Infiniflow 2.1 is the ideal platform for hosting a new generation of virtualized business services.” A free evaluation version of Infinflow 2.1 is available for registered users at its Web site.
