Ipedo Delivers Market Leading Enterprise Information Integration Performance on the Sun Fire Servers and Solaris 10 Operating System

Ipedo, a leading provider of enterprise information integration (EII) software, today announced the general availability of its award-winning Ipedo XIP on the Solaris(TM) 10 Operating System (OS) on UltraSPARC® and AMD Opteron(TM) processor-based SunFire(TM) servers. Ipedo's certification on the Solaris 10 OS enables Sun to deliver to its customers a market-leading EII technology on the latest release of Sun's reliable, high-performance operating system.

The combination of the Solaris OS and Ipedo's software will help customers quickly gain access to information spread throughout their organization, without performance or availability concerns. With the ever-increasing volume, distribution and complexity of corporate data, customers need solutions that can help them find, process and deliver information efficiently, satisfying a range of user needs. Running on the Solaris 10 OS provides Ipedo XIP customers with an immediate performance advantage and a smooth path for scaling up or out across the enterprise.

"Ipedo's support of the Solaris 10 OS enhances our customers' ability to have dynamic access to all of their corporate information, whether it's in a relational database, content repository, or delivered as a Web Service," said Stephen Borcich, vice president of Partner Marketing, Sun Microsystems. "The combination of the Solaris 10 OS on both SPARC and x64 platforms and Ipedo XIP will ensure extreme performance, scalability and cost efficiency of our customers and help them achieve their business objectives faster."

"Our customers continue to rely on the performance and reliability of the Solaris 10 OS as their enterprise data grows larger and processing requirements become more demanding," said Nick Zhang, Ipedo CEO. "We are excited to be working closely with Sun to ensure the business-critical applications of our customers perform above their expectations."

Ipedo XIP leverages SQL and XQuery to integrate and manage information from disparate, complex data sources to enable real-time business decisions. Ipedo's patented approach treats existing corporate databases and Web Services as a single, virtual data source that applications or users can access using industry-standard protocols. This allows users to gain customized access to the information they need, in a context that makes sense, all while leveraging existing IT investments. Ipedo XIP also contains a powerful set of performance and security management capabilities that balance user needs with corporate policies.
