Active Endpoints Joins MySQL Network Certified Partner Program and Announces Support for MySQL Database

Technology Alliance Offers Opportunities for High Value, Low Cost BPEL Solutions

Shelton, CT, USA - Active Endpoints, Inc., the leading independent provider of SOA integration solutions, today announced its membership in the MySQL® Network Certified Partners Program. MySQL, the world's most popular open source database, is designed to meet the requirements of enterprise customers who need to deploy proven and cost effective databases. As a member of the MySQL Network Certified Partner Program, Active Endpoints has added support for MySQL to its ActiveWebflow™ server line, offering new alternatives for customers seeking to develop and deploy high value, low cost BPEL (Business Process Execution Language) based solutions.

"Robust standards-based BPEL solutions, such as those from Active Endpoints, are becoming increasingly important for enterprise IT customers," said Bertrand Matthelie, director of alliances for MySQL AB. "We are pleased to announce a new partnership with Active Endpoints to make it easier for our users to leverage the advantages of MySQL Network when building reliable, cost-effective BPEL solutions."

ActiveWebflow is a family of platform neutral, standards based solutions that allows organizations to significantly automate process flows internally and across their extended value chains. Unlike proprietary solutions, which interface with the BPEL standard through import and export code extensions, ActiveWebflow comprehensively supports BPEL as its native orchestration language. Through the combination of MySQL Network and ActiveWebflow organizations can now leverage a secure, high performance and economical open source database with market leading, platform neutral BPEL solutions.

The following products are certified as compatible with MySQL and the MySQL Network subscription service:

• ActiveBPEL Engine - Commercial-grade, open source, runtime engine for executing BPEL process orchestrations.
• ActiveWebflow Standard - Tomcat-based BPEL server with enterprise level features to handle orchestration and process management requirements.
• ActiveWebflow Enterprise - BPEL servers with advanced enterprise level fault tolerance and scalability features, optimized for popular J2EE™ environments including Jboss® Application Server, IBM® WebSphere® Application Server and BEA WebLogic Server®.

"Our customers want to automate their business processes quickly and efficiently using industry leading technologies," said Frank Ryan, VP Technical Services for Active Endpoints. "Enterprise process orchestration applications drive the need for the combination of best of breed ActiveWebflow servers and the MySQL database. Organizations now have a full range of open source and commercial product alternatives to meet their process management objectives."
