New Process Server Brings Scalable Multi-Tenancy to Web 2.0 Company

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- Intalio, Inc., The Open Source BPMS Company, today announced that Coghead, the leading vendor of hosted application development tools, successfully replaced its BPEL process engine with Intalio|Server, thereby achieving a dramatic increase in performance.

Coghead provides a multi-tenant platform allowing tech-savvy businesspeople to create, manage and deploy their own web-based applications. At the core of this platform is a BPEL engine responsible for the execution of automated processes and human workflows. For its previous release, Coghead used another BPEL engine that was not natively designed for multi-tenancy. As a result, restarting the process engine would take up to 24 hours. Using Intalio|Server, the same operation can be completed in less than seven seconds.

"A key differentiator for Coghead is the ability to easily create custom web applications that have relatively sophisticated workflow and business process application capabilities. Intalio|Server has allowed us to greatly simplify the execution and management of business processes, and that translates into a better experience for Coghead developers and users," said Paul McNamara, Coghead CEO.

"The performance level achieved by Coghead when using Intalio|Server in a massive multi-tenant environment is absolutely breathtaking," said Ismael Ghalimi, Intalio founder and CEO. "Over 100,000 different processes can be safely deployed on one single CPU, making Intalio|Server the most cost effective solution for supporting very large scale projects. This confirms our belief that open-source BPM has reached a level of maturity that is sufficient for most applications."
