Waltham, MA, May 5, 2009 – Active Endpoints, Inc. (
www.activevos.com
) today shipped ActiveVOS 6.2, a new release of its business process management suite (BPMS) featuring ActiveVOS MultiSite. ActiveVOS MultiSite protects crucial, long-running business processes from interruption or termination due to a major hardware or site failure. ActiveVOS MultiSite also allows users to flexibly scale their BPM environments, resulting in a more efficient use of computing resources.
"“ActiveVOS 6.2 delivers true scalability and fault tolerance for BPM users,” said Mark Taber, CEO, Active Endpoints. “As the first BPMS with the capability to operate across geographically distributed sites, ActiveVOS demonstrates Active Endpoints’ technological leadership by combining ease-of-use with advanced capabilities in a single, affordable, standards-based product.”
"
ActiveVOS MultiSite builds on ActiveVOS’s previously-available clustering capabilities and extends those capabilities to multiple ActiveVOS clusters running across a distributed network of sites. Using Master-Master database replication and an efficient communications protocol, an ActiveVOS MultiSite system enables organizations to run critical applications in geographically
distributed data centers, protecting the organization from downtime caused by complete failure at any data center.
"“As business process management (BPM) becomes an increasingly critical part of companies’ core operations, the need to ensure uninterrupted service grows, “said Simon Holloway, practice leader, process management & RFID, Bloor Research. “Solutions that assure end users that long-running and high priority work will never be lost make it easier for companies to adopt modern BPMS technologies.”
"
ActiveVOS allows developers, business analysts, operations staff and managers to model, develop, test, deploy, and manage a new generation of 100% standards-based BPM applications affordably and quickly. In contrast to the costly, stitched-together-through-acquisition approaches of other vendors, ActiveVOS is complete. ActiveVOS is easy to learn and can be
rapidly deployed.
