| Progress Software announced that CERN, the worlds largest physics laboratory and particle accelerator, was recognized by InfoWorld as one of the 100 most Innovative IT solutions for 2007 for its high-throughput, distributed messaging System using Progress® Sonic products. CERN is using Progress Sonic as a messaging backbone to monitor in real-time all of their equipment, providing them with extremely low latency message delivery with volumes of more than three million messages per day all with zero message loss (http://www.progress.com/cern). | ||
| Progress extended its thought leadership in the SOA (service-oriented architecture) market during Q4, 2007, with the release of a new eBook entitled SOA: Socially Oriented Architecture (http://www.progress.com/soaebook). Technical Opportunities, Social Challenges, in which the CTO of the companys Enterprise Infrastructure Division, Hub Vandervoort, urges enterprises to create federated communities among diverse SOA participants in order to be more responsive and closer to business needs. The eBook is available for free download at www.getsociallyarchitected.com | ||
| New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX), Inc., a subsidiary of NYMEX Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: NMX) and the worlds largest physical commodities future exchange, deployed the Progress SonicMQ® distributed enterprise messaging platform to accommodate a massive messaging increase resulting from the transition from floor trading to side-by-side electronic trading and the launch of the Dubai Mercantile Exchange. The implementation enables them to process more than 50,000 messages per second, a tenfold increase over their former implementation (http://www.progress.com/nymex). | ||
| Lockheed Martin selected Progress Actional® to manage an internal service oriented architecture (SOA) initiative within its Enterprise Information Services (EIS) unit. The |
Actional web services and SOA management platform provides best-in-class monitoring, analysis, security and policy control, including system and process-level visibility, and policy enforcement across an SOA (http://www.progress.com/lockheed). | |||
| Independent Research Firm, Forrester Research, Inc., named Progress Actional as the #1 product for standalone SOA and Web Services Management Solutions in October. The report, The Forrester Wave: Standalone SOA and Web Services Management Solutions, Q4 2007, recognizes Progress Actional as an especially good fit for buyers that need to quickly implement comprehensive SOA management (http://www.progress.com/forresterbrings). | ||

| DataDirect Technologies announced the availability of the DataDirect Shadow version 7 product, which will include new features that reduce total-cost-of-ownership for mainframe service-oriented architectures (SOAs) while simultaneously simplifying the orchestration of mainframe Web services.
