Fujitsu and Software AG Deliver AJAX-Based CentraSite

Solution Eases Effort of Users to Implement the Services Required to Solve Their Specific Issues

Fujitsu Computer Systems Corporation and Software AG have announced the release of the latest version of CentraSite, an award-winning joint solution that offers greater visibility across a service-oriented architecture (SOA) and provides improved analysis and control of SOA resources and activities. The CentraSite Enterprise Edition is now available as a standalone product offering a UDDI v3.0 search using predefined metadata models, a JAXR interface with subscribe and notification capabilities, WebDAV access to the SOA repository, predefined reporting modules, and both an AJAX interface and the Eclipse Registry Browser. The Enterprise Edition also provides an extensible metadata model for the definition of customer-specific SOA artifacts.

In addition to the Enterprise Edition, the CentraSite Community Edition offers a UDDI v3.0 search using predefined metadata models and predefined reporting modules, and both an AJAX-based interface and the Eclipse Registry Browser and is available free of charge.

CentraSite offers maximum management and governance of an organization's SOA by providing a central repository of SOA metadata, along with analysis of this data and the ability to incorporate centralized policies. "Successfully managing and governing SOA assets is a critical step in the maturation of an SOA portfolio," said Daryl Plummer, managing vice president and Gartner fellow. "Organizations that are going through the SOA maturity cycle will use governance as a critical success factor."

CentraSite is designed for both developers and business analysts. CentraSite's new AJAX-based user interface, powered by Software AG's crossvision Application Composer, makes it easier for business users to implement the services required to solve their specific issues. Also new is an Eclipse-based CentraSite plug-in that helps developers to easily integrate with existing Eclipse-based development environments.
