Toronto, Ontario -- Nov. 12, 2002 -- Foedero Technologies, a Toronto based research and development company specializing in application optimization components and business solutions, today announced that it has joined the thriving community of tool vendors and systems integrators building extensions to the Sun[tm] ONE Studio integrated development environment (IDE). Foederos dynamic caching technology, FoederoCache V2.2. extends the Sun ONE tools to provide customers with the ability to improve performance of Web applications and optimize application servers and database servers by integrating caches directly into Java[tm] technology applications. This enhances portability to any SMP and clustered systems without further source code modifications. The results are totally secured, scalable, high-speed Java technology applications.

Foedero chose to align with Sun ONE Studio because they found the IDE to be an integral and essential companion to their products, allowing corporations to develop enterprise class applications and Web services using the latest Java technologies. Integrating Foederos dynamic data caching Java technology classes with Sun ONE Studio provides customers the ability to develop and deploy cache-optimized and scalable Java[tm] 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE[tm]) component and standards-based Web services applications. Developing Java applications with cutting-edge dynamic caching capabilities will save costly system resources, and give customers a dramatic increase in server response time.

We are very excited about this new relationship with Sun ONE Studio," said Adrian Mah, Director of Business Development at Foedero. It allows Foedero the opportunity to serve the Java community and help position Java technology as the preferred platform for developing mission critical applications,"

Foedero has been an innovator in developing optimization component solutions," said Mark Herring, Senior Director of Marketing, Sun ONE Java Web Services and Tools, Sun Microsystems. This latest product brings that expertise to Java technology developers through a dynamic caching tool that will optimize and add greater value to enterprise application development. We welcome Foederos support of the Sun ONE Studio community, which is a destination for developers who value innovation and productivity."
