Oracle Deploys Tarantella Enterprise 3 Software

Tarantella, Inc., a leading supplier of secure application access software, announced that Oracle Corp. has selected Tarantella Enterprise 3 software as an Oracle development standard. Selected for use in Oracle's application development organization, Tarantella Enterprise 3 software has been deployed as the gateway to Oracle's centralized development model.

Tarantella Enterprise 3 software enables Oracle to extend its central application development systems to developers worldwide, thus providing developers with securely managed access to closely held applications code and data from anywhere in the world.

"With Tarantella software, we have transformed the way we develop applications," said Jerome Labat, vice president of Application Development, at Oracle. "The greater control over data and development tools, combined with developers having easy, secure access from anywhere, has enabled us to cut development time and significantly reduce development costs -- all while improving product quality. Through teamwork and cooperation, Oracle and Tarantella have proven Enterprise 3 can provide a high rate of savings and an increase in productivity."

"We are delighted to see Tarantella Enterprise 3 recognized for the incredible value it brings to companies seeking the benefits of centralizing operations: improved service levels, cost reduction, and security," said Edmundo Costa, vice president of Worldwide Sales for Tarantella, Inc. "Our ability to support thousands of concurrent users in a highly demanding production environment is yet another example of why large enterprises such as Oracle are expanding their use of Tarantella for enterprise access."

Additionally, the development group is seeing further benefits of centralized development data. "When someone logs into the system to edit code, or test results, they know it is current, regardless of their location," said Jerome Labat. "We have added logic that sits behind the Tarantella software, so our people can get the tools they need, whenever and wherever they need it. The Tarantella single point administration system gives us simple centralized control over who gets what and where, depending on their user ID and system allocation."

Within Oracle development groups Tarantella Enterprise 3 is currently deployed to 6,000 employees.

Tarantella Enterprise 3 Software

Tarantella Enterprise 3 software enables secure access to corporate applications through any network and any client device. Located between the client device and the application server, Tarantella web-enabled applications allow them to be accessed securely via a standard web browser. Tarantella Enterprise 3 is a reliable, scalable and secure solution, which does not require changes to applications or application servers.
