Comprehensive Service Registry and Repository offering to support both UDDI v3 and ebXML Registry 3.0 standards enabling Secure, Federated Information Management

Sun Microsystems, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNW) today announced the early access availability of the Sun Service Registry for customers who need to track and manage increasing numbers of web services. Sun’s Service Registry also includes an integrated repository for storing service metadata, and providing additional capabilities such as web services lifecycle management. The combined registry-repository serves as a cornerstone for true service oriented architecture (SOA) governance.

With the rapid adoption of SOA and web services projects, enterprises need to manage the resulting vast array of metadata that needs organized storage and discovery for increasing scalability requirements. Sun’s Service Registry enables service oriented architectures by providing centralized access to discovery, use and reuse of web services as well as secure, federated information management. By offering a unique single-registry solution that supports both UDDI v3 and ebXML Registry 3.0 standards, Sun’s Service Registry enables customers to publish, manage, govern, discover and reuse services within a broad range of applications.

“SOA Governance requires more than today’s registries provide,”said Mark Bauhaus, vice president for Java Web Services , Sun Microsystems. “With Sun’s Service Registry, customers can now truly address both web services access and SOA governance. By providing a shared infrastructure component, integrated with various products of the Sun Java Enterprise System (Java ES), Sun helps enable SOA for a wide range of government and commercial customers around the world.”

“A meta-data repository is a key enabling technology for SOA,” said Yefim Natis, vice president and distinguished analyst, Gartner, Inc. “It is safe to say that no long-term enterprise SOA initiative can succeed without an integrated and searchable repository/registry.”

Key features, including the ability to uniquely define information models and relationships among metadata and help to ensure conformance of published services and content for more flexible customer environments. In addition, customers can manage aspects of the web services to reflect their IT policies and use event-based delivery of information to support specific processes.

Future Java ES components will integrate with the Service Registry including Access Manager for user authentication, Application Server deployer/administrator for managing service lifecycles, Java Studio Enterprise service developer for develop-deploy-test cycles, and a Portal Server for managing WS-Remote Portlet and producer descriptions. Integration with the Application Platform Suite and the Identity Management Suite are also being planned. Customer applications can integrate similarly via Service Registry API’s and protocols. Sun’s Java ES running on the Solaris operating system (OS) delivers a core set of industry-leading shared enterprise network services as a single, integrated entity on a predictable release cycle.

Sun will demonstrate the Service Registry at JavaOne 2005 conference, and will ship the product as part of the Sun Java ES R4 in the Fall. An Early Access version of Sun’s Service Registy is included in Java Web Services Developer Pack (Java WSDP) 1.6 which will be generally available later this month.

Fujitsu Network Communications Inc., a leading supplier of IT and wireline/wireless networking solutions, announced today that they have received a Diamond Technology Award in the “Advanced Networking Solutions” category for their market-leading FLASHWAVE® 7500 Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (ROADM).

“This platform received an extremely solid score,” said Tim Hermes, publisher of Broadband Gear Report. “Our review panel pulled no punches with their product evaluation, and the FLASHWAVE 7500 ROADM has certainly captured the respect of these industry leaders.”

The FLASHWAVE 7500 ROADM incorporates the industry’s most advanced optical technologies. The new Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS) enables multi-degree hub nodes and allows grooming across multiple Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) ring networks. It also provides lower optical loss than other switch technologies, enabling larger networks and support for additional optical nodes per network. Multi-port muxponders allow multiple signals to be multiplexed onto a single wavelength at 10 Gbps. This capability is being used by Multiple System Operators (MSOs) in several major U.S. markets to combine up to eight Gigabit Ethernet links onto a single wavelength, thus allowing thousands of Video on Demand (VOD) streams across a single network. Innovative Flexponder™ interfaces offer the function of a SONET Add/Drop Multiplexer (ADM) on a single card.

Further OPEX savings are achieved by implementing full C-band tunable narrowband optics and Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP)-based interfaces, which allow all ITU-T wavelengths and client connections for multiple services to be supported by a single optical line card. This capability significantly simplifies sparing requirements and reduces deployment time for new services. Integrated Variable Optical Attenuators (VOAs) actively monitor the power levels on each optical channel, automatically adjusting and tuning those levels to maintain optimal network performance.

“Widespread use of our FLASHWAVE 7500 ROADM within large MSO networks is a big reason why RHK named Fujitsu the market leader in North American ROADM deployment with an 83% share,” said Bill Erickson, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Fujitsu. “The FLASHWAVE 7500 platform supports the demanding service requirements of today’s MSOs by allowing multiple voice, video, data and storage networks to be combined onto a single converged network that eliminates the cost and complexity of maintaining multiple networks.”

The FLASHWAVE 7500 ROADM will be showcased and discussed this week along with other scalable and reliable triple-play solutions in Fujitsu Booth No. 527 during the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) Cable-Tec Expo 2005 tradeshow. The exhibition runs from June 15 through June 17, 2005 at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas. The platform will also be featured in a special edition of Broadband Gear Report in early June, as well as in the print edition that will be available during SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2005.
