LOS GATOS, CA, November 02, 2005 – Fiorano Software, Inc., a leading provider of business process integration and enterprise messaging solutions, today announces the general availability (GA) of its next generation SOA platform - Fiorano SOA Platform^®. Built on Fiorano's leading Enterprise Service Bus, Fiorano ESB™, the SOA 2006 platform incorporates several advanced features including peer-to-peer messaging, distributed BPEL-compliant business process management and visual tools, together with a powerful model for coarse-grained Business Services.

"Fiorano SOA Platform^® is a clear choice for enterprises developing and executing their SOA strategy," said Atul Saini, CEO & CTO, Fiorano. "This will be the most comprehensive enterprise-class infrastructure for SOA deployments on the market today. Already, initial feedback from many customers shows that Fiorano enables an SOA to be implemented up to 4 times faster than competitive products, in large part due to its unique component model," he added.

Fiorano SOA Platform^® is the industry’s first platform that supports both services and events on a single technology base with a shared component model and common tools for design, development, deployment, security and administration. Advanced features include:

• Composite Components - Business components can now be aggregated into larger reusable components (controlled using industry-standard BPEL), which run in a single operating system process. This results in significant performance advantages when multiple lightweight business components need to be executed on a single peer as part of a distributed event process.
  
• New Standards Embraced - BPEL/JCA/WS/J2EE/JMX - Support for BPEL based process composition, JCA & Web-Service based process configuration & component invocation and JMX based management.
  
• Peer-to-Peer JMS Enhancements - Improved throughput of JMS messages within and across peer networks. This enables seamless ports of existing JMS applications to reusable ESB components.
  
• Enhanced Simple/Distributed Transaction handling - Support for simple and distributed transactions across multiple components within a single Composite Component.
  
• Business Component Development Kit (BCDK) - A combination of Java libraries (implementing standard JMS, JCA, JMX interfaces) and an ant-based compilation framework for implementation & deployment of new Business Components. BCDK can also be integrated with Eclipse IDE.
  
• Shared Resource Pools - Support for resource sharing across multiple instances of components running within a composite component. This enables sharing of expensive/heavy-weight resources (like DB connection) across multiple coordinating components.
