Sparx releases Enterprise Architecture 8

Sparx Systems has released the Enterprise Architecture 8 software platform, writes Marketwire.

The software solution provides a standards compliant, team modelling environment to help manage integrated model-driven development, project scalability and team management.

"An important goal in version 8 was to deliver the same responsiveness and ease of use in very large, shared models as in smaller and mid-range models,” says Sparx CEO Geoffrey Sparks.

Infineta Systems has introduced the Velocity Dedupe Engine, designed for high-speed enterprise data centre connections, says Business Wire.

Velocity Dedupe Engine forms a hardware-based data reduction technology that increases the throughput, scalability and bandwidth capacity for addressing traffic between data centres.

“We are at the doorstep of a major shift in data centre architecture where the demarcation line separating geographically dispersed data centres is gradually being blurred at both the network and storage layers,” says Joe Skorupa, Gartner research VP of data centre transformation and security.

Advanced Information Systems (AIS) has won a multimillion-dollar contract from the US Department of Education to develop software for the Office of Federal Student Aid (FSA), states PJStar.

AIS will partner with FSA to develop the requirements for the enterprise development support services applications.

The 10-year multiple-award contract has a ceiling value of $50 million. AIS also won a fixed price contract with the US Selective Services System for modernisation of the selective service legacy mainframe systems.
