Librados Announces Expanded Support for WebSphere Platform

Librados Open Source Royalty-Free Pure JCA Adapters Now Available on IBM WebSphere

SAN RAMON, CA (PRWEB) August 29, 2003 -- Librados Inc., a leading provider of JCA adapter technology, today announced that it will expand its support of IBM's WebSphere* Internet infrastructure platform with Librados' royalty-free Enterprise Integration Component Server (EICS) and family of pre-built JCA Adapters.

Librados adapters will enable IBM WebSphere customers to extend and expose back-end EIS functionality from systems such as SAP R/3, Siebel and PeopleSoft, into the WebSphere Application Server via XML, Web services or any other data format. Librados' solution, built on IBM WebSphere, will reduce the cost of application integration by offering either royalty-free source code to Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) or extremely low-cost software to customers with its pure J2EE product offering on WebSphere, an open platform that enables customers to connect disparate systems with the scalability desired for future growth.

Librados offers pure Java/J2EE products so there is no gateway between the WebSphere Application Server and Librados' EICS and JCA Plus Adapters. This facilitates Librados' products to fully leverage the scalable and reliable foundation of WebSphere Application Server that helps customers to develop, deploy and integrate next-generation e-business applications, from basic Web publishing to enterprise-scale transaction processing. Since the solution is built on an open platform no changes are required to target applications, enabling trouble-free integration of packaged ERP and CRM applications, as well as legacy mainframe applications.

"The enablement of Librados' EICS and JCA Plus Adapters for WebSphere will provide companies with greater levels of flexibility and robustness", said David Richards, CEO of Librados. "Librados adapters will lower the total cost of ownership, since software vendors will have a low-cost JCA adapter option - where they only have to pay once with no royalty payments any time. Working together with IBM WebSphere enables us to leverage the latest J2EE technologies to help companies integrate information, applications and business processes across the enterprise."
