Push Technology launches Diffusion 5.0

LONDON, UK: Push Technology unveiled the latest version of its enterprise-grade data distribution platform, Diffusion 5.0, to provide a fast time to market and value to deliver mobile apps.

With a new unified API, enhanced performance, high availability and easy integration with enterprise assets, the platform helps organizations get to market faster with high-performance, real-time apps and for these to be deployed across a range of mobile operating systems, networks and clients, according to the company release.

Sean Bowen, CEO at Push Technology, said: "Customer expectations are soaring as the mobile mind shift accelerates. To meet those expectations, enterprise mobile development teams must be capable of releasing high-quality apps quickly, and quite often, several times a year. Yet, organizations are still wrestling with three major challenges; what apps to build, how to make them reliable and how to make them perform at scale. Our response in Diffusion 5.0 is to provide a solution that does more so you can be more productive, delivers faster time to value, offers continuous availability and easily integrates with enterprise assets."

New features include:

• High Availability features including session replication, topic replication, and failover of active topic sources.

• Control Client enables you to implement your control logic in any of the supported languages and locate it outside of the Diffusion server, supporting cloud-based solutions.

• Unified API will make available the capabilities of standard clients, control clients, and event publishers in one consistent, modular interface.

• Improved Performance serve up to 85 percent more messages per second to 25 percent more clients by using a new queuing mechanism.

• New Authentication Model so one can write and configure both remote and local authentication handlers.
