One of the barriers to introducing dynamic computing is the up-front investment required to implement it. Trigence addresses this problem head-on. Trigence Capsules allow an organization to re-use existing, configured applications within the new environment created to support dynamic computing. In other words, organizations can create the service-oriented architecture without the need to rewrite applications and replace technologies. The use of application encapsulation to manage applications as part of a dynamic utility computing model allows enterprises to get the most out of what they already have. Businesses can attain a more rapid return on lower investments and the total cost of ownership (TCO) is drastically lower than other alternatives.

SAN DIEGO, CA, 25 Sept., 2006 – Trigence Corp. Chief Executive Officer David Roth and Chief Technology Officer Donn Rochette will take the stage at 9:18 PDT, Sept. 27th at DEMOfall 2006 to launch Trigence AE, the world’s first software that encapsulates, separates, and moves applications and dependencies from their underlying operating systems and infrastructure.

Throughout its 16-year history, the semi-annual DEMO conferences produced by Network World Events and Executive Forums have been a launching pad for many of the world's most important new technologies, from the well known like Java, TiVo, and the Palm Pilot, to the new generation of emerging Web 2.0 leaders, such as Six Apart and Riya. Thanks to its unrivaled reputation for attracting technology's best and brightest, DEMO has become a top-priority event for industry executives, media and investors, all of whom attend DEMO looking for technology's household names of the future.

Trigence AE enables companies to reduce the complexity and truly unleash the value of their software investments by turning applications into commonly defined, standardized, isolated, and portable Capsules. By decoupling applications from their infrastructure, they can be deployed, managed, and supported with much less effort in either physical or virtual environments. This capability also eases the ability to update applications and liberates IT resources to increase the pace of innovation.

Trigence encapsulates applications in their desired state allowing them to move forward and laterally between and among systems. By turning complex applications into single files, Trigence Application Capsules are the perfect complement to an organization’s investment in software management and server virtualization tools. With Trigence inside, your applications become simpler and easier to control so you can leverage your existing tools like never before.

“It is very exciting to see how separating and isolating applications into capsules using Trigence AE enables our customers to achieve their most important goals. With Trigence, applications become easily manageable IT assets that can move quickly and safely between systems without rewrites,” says David Roth, CEO of Trigence Corp. “Trigence AE allows organizations to achieve important cost savings through system retirement at the same time as it unleashes unheard of levels of business alignment by speeding the deployment of new applications as well as making updating existing critical applications easy.”

By now we've all heard about the benefits of consolidation. This is a good thing. The value and the benefits of consolidation are real, and there are several alternatives to choose from as the technology matures. Hardware virtualization, as offered by VMWare and Xen, provides the flexibility to run multiple OSs. Paravirtualization offers slight improvement in performance compared to full hardware virtualization at the cost of significant complexity. OS virtualization such as Solaris Zones and SWsoft Virtuozzo provide flexibility with greatly improved performance. Native virtualization is similar to full hardware virtualization as it supports multiple disparate guest OSs and is based on virtualization support provided by advances in CPU technology. There's a solution here for your unique needs.

As your infrastructure becomes virtualized - storage, server and network - your flexibility and usage increases. This is a good thing... but what about the applications? Do the configuration management struggles that exist related to applications today go away in the context of a virtualized infrastructure? They don't - and this is where application virtualization comes in.

Enter Trigence Application Capsules, which are consistent with a common theme. Even with all of the server virtualization options available, companies still have the same problem with applications as they did in an all-physical server world. Existing management tools need to evolve along with your virtualized infrastructure. By extending the benefits of virtualization to the application, Application Capsules are an evolutionary component to the application configuration management morass. Trigence Application Capsules are not a new management tool: they are an adjunct to your tools, an extension of the reach of your existing tools.

At the LinuxWorld Conference and Expo in San Francisco, Hewlett-Packard announced it would develop and support Debian, a top-ranked Linux distribution, along with Red Hat and Novell commercial Linux distributions on select hardware.

With that, HP now enables Debian Linux across HP ProLiant and HP BladeSystem servers. In addition, HP unveiled the first customizable Linux thin client from a tier-one vendor, the HP t5725.

Lenovo, too, is forging stronger ties with Linux software vendors. At LinuxWorld on Tuesday, Lenovo unveiled the ThinkPad T60p Linux Mobile Workstation, which supports Novell's recently released SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 operating system. Coming in 14-inch and 15-inch models, the new ThinkPads are available now.

On the software front, Linux and open-source application vendors took the wraps off new offerings for appliances, application virtualization and mobile workers at the show.

RPath, founded by former Red Hat executives in Raleigh, N.C., rolled out version 2.0 of its rBuilder development platform. RBuilder 2.0, which transforms applications into appliances, features an agent for managing and configuring appliances. The appliance combines an application with the Linux distribution and integrates with the company's rMake engine for building updates and rPath Mirror to accelerate the deployment of those updates to appliances at customer sites.

Database ISV Ingres announced that it used rBuilder 2.0 to combine its database application with Linux to create an appliance called Project Icebreaker.

Trigence, Jersey City, N.J., demonstrated an application virtualization solution for Linux that enables application movement, migration and configuration management. The Trigence AE solution will be demonstrated on Novell SUSE and other Linux operating systems at LinuxWorld.

JasperSoft launched JasperServer Professional, a commercial implementation of its open-source business intelligence server software. The BI server enables users to easily customize reports and create layouts, and it's integrated with the open-source JasperReports reporting application.

On the management front, Centeris is highlighting its recently launched Likewise 2.0 platform, which enables customers with mixed environments to manage Windows and Linux from the same console. Version 2.0 allows the management of Linux servers using Windows tools, the integration of Linux with Active Directory and simplified configuration of Linux server roles, the company said.

In the mobile arena, PalmSource will spotlight its Access Linux Platform, the latest Palm OS for Linux, and Unicon Systems will announce a Mobile Linux Development Kit. The Unicon kit is based on ARM9 embedded processors running Linux 2.6 and allows developers to create handheld devices for industrial applications and consumer applications. At LinuxWorld, the company is demonstrating two products developed using the kit: MCopy and MBridge, which transfer multimedia content between any USB-enabled devices without a computer.

Also, Hummingbird unveiled a remote access solution for Linux desktops. Called Exceed onDemand 6, the solution allows Windows and Linux users to access X11 applications and data across any type of network connection, the company said.
