Ingres fastens Development Stack with Jboss

CALIFORNIA, US: Ingres Corporation, a provider in open source database management, announced on Wednesday the Ingres Development Stack for Jboss, a pre-assembled bundle that combines Ingres Database with Red Hat’s JBoss Developer Studio and JBoss Enterprise Application Platform.

"Worldwide enterprise customers are already using both companies' open source technologies, but this represents the first time Ingres has pre-assembled an entire open source IT solution that includes JBoss Enterprise Middleware," said Deb Woods, vice president of product management, Ingres.

He added that ultimately, it offers businesses the most advanced, proven application server and database technologies at a low cost point, as well as an open alternative to locked-in proprietary solutions at these critical layers of the stack.

With this stack the developers can build data-centric applications together with the middle-ware and database required to support these applications in the enterprise.

It enables developers to quickly build portable, reliable, mission critical applications that can scale from the developers desktop to the enterprise data center, said a press release.

Ingres has pre-configured all components to work together so that once the installation is complete, they can start coding immediately.

Self-documented sample applications are also provided; designed specifically to increase productivity and quickly aid developer’s understanding of both technologies, said the release.

Business applications built using the stack will include database features most required in an enterprise, such as hot back-up, active-passive high availability, on-line table and index reorganization, security auditing, database partitioning, and parallel query execution.

"Java developers that have previously used JBoss Developer Studio with another underlying database technology will find the move to Ingres to be completely seamless," added Woods.

The Ingres Development Stack for JBoss is available immediately as a 90-day evaluation at http://esd.ingres.com.
