Majitek joins Software AG, Fujitsu to help companies achieve SOA governance

Johannesburg, 18 Jan 2007

Majitek, a world leader in distributed systems technologies and advanced service-oriented architecture, has become a strategic sponsor of the CentraSite Community (www.soaworks.com), an initiative founded by Software AG and Fujitsu to deliver standards-based, interoperable SOA solutions and provide enterprise customers with a single destination for SOA best practices.

Through its participation in the CentraSite Community, Majitek will help enterprises to:

* Efficiently expose middle and back office functions as a suite of shared services to online front-of-house applications accessed by millions of customers.
* Effectively handle extraordinary peak load or data volume requirements.
* Reliably support real-time dynamic configuration, deployment and scaling of all grid-enabled applications and infrastructure.

"The enormous successes of companies such as Google, Yahoo and eBay are driving a new generation of high performance Web 2.0 application development," said Majitek CEO, Jeff Smith.

"GridSystem provides a next-generation application platform to support dynamic, online environments, and we see a centralised registry and repository such as CentraSite as the logical bridge between static and dynamic sides of an enterprise SOA."

Explaining the relevance of Majitek's involvement with the community, Software AG's Darren Roos said its GridSystem lowers the cost of complex software environments by redeploying business logic into a virtualised application layer on a grid of commodity server infrastructure.

"An alternative to traditional J2EE application servers, the Majitek GridSystem provides a dynamic SOA runtime environment for high performance enterprise Web 2.0 applications that must have high availability yet provide for constant change.

"The CentraSite registry and repository, developed jointly by Software AG and Fujitsu, enables businesses to better capitalise on service-oriented architectures and ensures dedicated support for the complete SOA lifecycle.

"Integrating directly with CentraSite, Majitek's solutions provide extreme scalability on-demand in the context of SOA governance," he said.
