Original Press Release:
New SourceLabs SASH Stack for Java Helps IT Organizations Reduce Costs and Operational Risks
SourceLabs Also Announces Partnerships With SASH Stack Development Companies
SEATTLE, Aug. 2 -- SourceLabs, a Seattle-based provider of Dependable Open Source Systems and premium support and maintenance subscriptions for enterprise IT organizations, today announced SourceLabs SASH Stack for Java, a new open source stack undergoing certification. The new SASH stack integrates widely used open source application frameworks, including Apache Struts, Apache Axis, Spring Framework and Hibernate into a coherent, tested, supported software stack for developing enterprise web applications. Enterprise IT organizations can use the SASH stack and SourceLabs Premium Support and Maintenance Subscriptions to reduce technical risk and complexity and lower integration and support costs.
"We are already seeing many enterprise IT organizations adopting the individual components of the SASH stack for streamlined development of enterprise web applications," said Byron Sebastian, CEO of SourceLabs. "Now we have integrated these popular components into a supported product so enterprises can deploy them more cost effectively, and with significantly reduced operational risk."
The SourceLabs SASH Stack for Java makes server-side Java development more productive than conventional J2EE, by integrating a lightweight, easy-to-program container, a web user interface framework, a highly dependable and interoperable web services stack, and easy and efficient database access.
SourceLabs also announced partnerships with Interface21 and WSO2, companies intimately involved in creating elements of the SASH stack. These partnerships enable close collaboration on support and maintenance for SourceLabs SASH Stack for Java, while giving customers "one throat to choke" for support of an integrated, tested, software development platform.
"Open source projects such as Spring have defined a new and better way of building enterprise Java applications," said Rod Johnson, CEO of Interface 21 and founder of the Spring Framework. "By providing an integrated, tested stack of these components, together with premium support, SourceLabs is helping to ensure that customers can adopt these technologies with confidence."
"Apache Axis has emerged as the de facto web services stack for Java," said Sanjiva Weerawarana, CEO of WSO2 and a longtime leader of the Apache Axis project. "Together with WSO2, SourceLabs is providing the first commercial support offering for this critical technology in an integrated, tested distribution."
The SourceLabs SASH Stack for Java is supported on BEA WebLogic, IBM Websphere and Tomcat application servers and Oracle's database management system. For enterprise IT organizations that are deploying the SourceLabs SASH Stack in demanding production conditions -- such as those in financial services or telecommunications -- SourceLabs offers premium support and maintenance subscriptions including 24-hour on-call support, hot fixes, critical security updates and ongoing maintenance through tested service packs.
SourceLabs integrates and tests each stack for specific application requirements and service levels to ensure peak performance, security and reliability. The company has provided a roadmap for CERT7 testing for the SourceLabs SASH Stack and invites community participation and comment in that process.
CERT7 refers to the seven key certification areas of the dependability tests that SourceLabs uses to certify open source software stacks such as the SourceLabs AMP Stack and SourceLabs SASH Stack for Java. CERT7 is not only a roadmap, but an underlying philosophy for how certification is achieved. The seven certification areas in SourceLabs CERT7 testing are:
1. Unit Testing
2. Functional Testing
3. Security Testing
4. Stress Testing
5. Scalability Testing
6. Reliability Testing
7. Integration Testing
By using SourceLabs integrated, certified stacks and premium support subscriptions, enterprise IT organizations can reduce the cost and risks of using open source software in production environments.
