SAN DIEGO, Feb. 13, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Enterprise content management provider Alero Technology(tm) announces today the availability of Alero(tm) Release 2 (R2) 2006, now able to orchestrate any number of active servers to manage disparate applications as one, easy-to-manage virtual repository, completely compliant with all service-oriented architectures.
"This release reflects the requests expressed by our customers and provides a completely service-oriented architecture (SOA) with an enhanced infrastructure to support and be compliant with complex system environments, including fault tolerance, clustering, farming, and server virtualization," Dan Hunsinger, CTO of Alero Technology says. "Alero R2 is the second release out of three scheduled for 2006 and the most ambitious of this year's product announcements -- without sacrificing the quality and reliability customers are accustomed to receiving."
Excelling in the Asian banking industry, Alero is the enterprise information management software of choice for Korea First Bank, Bank of Tokyo, Woori Bank, ShinHan Bank and numerous other prominent financial institutions. Alero R2 2006 delivers complete products and solutions for enterprise information management (EIM), including and combining enterprise content integration (ECI), enterprise information integration (EII), enterprise content management (ECM) and business process management (BPM) capabilities in a single, consistent solution.
"With this release, we are providing our customers with cutting-edge technology unmatched by any other single product on the market," Maurice Correa, President of Alero Technology says. "We are providing performance, scalability, and reliability at a price also unmatched. Alero 2006 will drastically reduce the risks and costs associated with the development, if any, deployment, maintenance and support of a solution to a fraction compared to other traditional software solutions."
Major features of Alero R2 2006 include:
-- Innovative design and architecture. The entire design and architecture has been enhanced to be completely service-oriented (SOA) compliant. -- Enhanced support for complex environments. The infrastructure of the product has been enhanced to support and be compliant with complex system environments, including fault tolerance, workload balancing, clustering, farming, and server virtualization. The product now supports Active/Active, or any number of Active servers at the same time. -- Complete system virtualization. By hiding the complexity of dealing with complex systems, disparate applications, and heterogeneous data, Alero's innovative design virtualizes systems, applications and data, transcending the common software paradigm and optimizing existing and future IT investments by making them more useful, easier to manage, and less expensive (total cost of ownership). -- Improved performance. Alero orchestrates any number of servers, databases, storages and repositories as one single virtual repository, transcending traditional software boundaries and providing unparalleled performance. -- New management tools. Alero's new, web-based management tools (Administration and Operation applications) are designed to manage and operate complex solutions comprised of multiple systems as if it were one single system. This virtualization of the management is specifically designed to simplify the initial and ongoing configuration, maintenance, monitoring, supporting and troubleshooting of the solution.
Alero R2 2006 targets customers looking to either implement/develop new solutions and/or upgrade from previous Xtorm solutions. For current customers using Xtorm, Alero R2 is 100% compatible with Xtorm, does not require migrations and/or conversions, seamlessly supports existing user applications (no code changes or recompilations are necessary), and provides the same or higher performance and reliability, easier manageability, and greatly improved inter-operability.
