Sun Microsystems, the creator of Java technology, has
announced a suite of infrastructure software within the Sun Java
Enterprise System to help enterprises address business integration
and Web 2.0 development projects.
The Sun Java Composite Application Platform Suite (Java Caps)
delivers a range of business software, which the company is
confident will streamline IT services, leveraging existing legacy
assets without the need for extensive coding.
Following its August 2005 acquisition of SeeBeyond, Sun has
combined SeeBeyond's business integration software with the Sun
Java Enterprise System to create a service oriented architecture
(SOA) platform. Such a combination, Sun believes, gives customers
the complete toolset and run-time environment to transform and
automate core business processes, such as purchasing, quote to
order, inventory restocking, pricing approvals, travel
authorisation and other typical business-related tasks.
In a bid to help further drive greater IT cost savings and
productivity and realise the full potential of SOA, Sun is also
introducing new professional services offerings.
Sun Java Caps comprises four suites, including the new Sun Java
B2B Suite and Sun Java ESB Suite as well as the existing Sun Java
Application Platform Suite and Sun Java Web Infrastructure Suite.
Each suite is available individually for a subscription price of
£36 per employee per year. When purchased together, Java Caps is
discounted to £99 for all four suites.
