Jibe Networks Starts Public Beta Cycle For New SX XML Product

Jibe Networks Inc, a provider of secure XML-services acceleration technology, announced the launch of the public beta program for its new SX appliance.

As more enterprises migrate to XML and embrace Web Services, they inevitably encounter problems common to both these initiatives: application performance and security. These issues become particularly acute when XML is used to distribute application functionality across a wide area network (WAN). However, with the introduction of Jibe SX, these problems can be easily addressed with a single appliance that not only takes the place of multiple point solutions, but offers functionality not currently available in any product.

"We are very excited about bringing the SX product to market and have engaged with more than 100 F-1000 companies, many of whom are early adopters of XML. The reaction of these companies to the SX value proposition has been overwhelmingly positive " said Dan Decasper, Jibe Network's CEO. "In fact, several F-500 companies have agreed to join our Pathfinder program and help us fine-tune the SX feature set".

Decasper also noted that the Pathfinder companies were pleased to know that the Jibe SX product is built from a foundation of prior Jibe products that have been in development for almost four years. "The fact that we started with a highly stable and production-proven code base has given us a substantial advantage and enabled us to bring this product to market long before our inevitable competition."
