Enterprise Mobility Reaches New Heights in Performance and
Scalability
HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill.--(Business Wire)--
Syclo, a leading provider of software that extends enterprise
systems to mobile devices, announced today that its Agentry(TM) 5.0
Server software is now compatible with UNIX, Linux and 64-bit Windows.
Designed to deliver more data faster, the UNIX / Linux and 64-bit
Windows additions will allow Syclo customers to support more than 20
times the number of simultaneous users and transactions on comparable
hardware.
UNIX / Linux servers are renowned for their stability and
scalability, and many of today's leading companies choose them to
power their mission-critical applications. Until now, however, few
mobile application vendors have designed solutions to be truly
enterprise-grade in their processing capabilities -- in the past,
mobile solutions often ran into operating system limitations with
memory-intensive applications. Syclo's migration of the Agentry
application server to UNIX / Linux hardware lifts these memory
constraints, resulting in much more scalable solutions. In Syclo's
initial testing, a Linux server with 32GB of RAM was able to handle
more than 20 times the transactional throughput of a 32-bit Windows
server with a similar hardware configuration.
"With Agentry 5.0, scalability is a function of the hardware CPU
and RAM rather than an operating system limitation," said Paul
Chiapuris, Syclo's Executive Vice President of Software Engineering.
"Our customers now have the flexibility to choose among OS and
hardware combinations that align with their overall IT strategy.
Agentry 5.0 gives them that flexibility by being both Windows- and
Linux Standard Base (LSB)-compliant and supporting several Linux
varieties -- including Red Hat, Sun's Solaris, IBM's AIX and Novell's
openSUSE."
Also included with the Agentry 5.0 release are enhancements to the
Agentry Server Administration Agent that provide for remote
administration of the Agentry Server: modifying parameters, turning
system monitors on and off, and accessing user-specific information
can now all be done remotely.
UNIX, Linux and 64-bit Windows server support will be generally
available with Agentry 5.0 at the Syclo Mobile Conference on September
17, 2008. Attendees can see Agentry 5.0 in action during sessions and
in the Hands-On Lab.
