Crosscheck Networks Drives Business-Critical SOA at World's Largest Enterprises and

Government Organizations


BOSTON and BERLIN, Oct. 5 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --


    New Capabilities for Company's Flagship XML Gateway Ease Enterprise-to-

        Cloud Migration; Enable Seamless Extension of SOA to the Cloud


    Crosscheck Networks, Inc. (http://www.crosschecknet.com) today introduced

the next generation of its flagship product, Forum Sentry v8.0, helping

organizations seamlessly migrate their enterprise SOA deployments to the cloud

while capitalizing on the cloud computing model for business and competitive

advantage. The company unveiled the latest version of Forum Sentry at the

International SOA & Cloud Symposium (http://soasymposium.com), the world's

largest international SOA and cloud computing conference.


    Notably, at the show today, Crosscheck Networks (Booth # 13) CEO Mamoon

Yunus will explore enterprise-to-cloud migration in the session, "Requirements

for Extending Enterprise SOA to Public Cloud(http://soasymposium.com/agenda2010.php)."

Additionally, company CTO Jason

Macy will share best practices in SOA threat defense in "SOA Threat Modelling:

Attacking and Defending REST, XML and SOAP based Services



    With patented XML security acceleration technology and an architecture

certified by NIST and the U.S. Department of Defense, the Forum Sentry XML


industry standard for XML and SOAP security, access control and integration.

Deployment highlights include processing:


    - More than one billion transactions per day globally;

    - 95% of the world's credit card information; and

    - 80% of the traffic at one of the world's largest and most respected

      telecommunications services companies.


    Underscoring its increasing adoption worldwide, Forum Sentry serves as

the transactional foundation at more than 300 global organizations including:


    - One of world's premier treasuries, which leverages Forum Sentry to

      accommodate the increased volume, and processing, of large data files -

      - up to 10 GB each in size;

    - Europe's top counter-terrorism organization, which utilizes Forum

      Sentry to coordinate rapid information sharing among its neighbour

      countries; and

    - One of the U.S.'s longest-standing and largest health benefits

      companies, which uses Forum Sentry to promote secure exchange of its

      Electronic Health Records (EHR).


    According to Lydia Leong, Research VP, Gartner, "Although many

organizations first look at cloud IaaS [Infrastructure as a Service] because

they're interested in cost savings, agility and flexibility, rather than cost,

tend to be the eventual primary drivers; the cost of the cloud IaaS, especially

in comparison to efficient large-enterprise IT, can be higher than IT managers

expect."(1)

    "As organizations scale their infrastructures to accommodate rapid business

growth and increased customer demand, they are frequently looking to the public

cloud to help them offset capital expense and operational costs. But without

the appropriate tools, businesses are unable to determine the true costs of

cloud migration," said Crosscheck Networks CEO Mamoon Yunus. "With our

simulation tool, CloudPort 


and government entities to perform the requisite cost analysis, and evaluate

and select a provider for migrating all or parts of their infrastructure to

the cloud."


    Yunus continued: "Once organizations determine that moving to the public

cloud makes business and fiscal sense, Forum Sentry's next-generation

platform empowers them to take the next step -- migrating to the cloud cost

effectively while securely extending their SOA deployments for the most

seamless enterprise-to-cloud integration."


    Helping organizations to successfully leverage the cloud computing model,

key new capabilities in Forum Sentry v8.0 include:


    - Integrated Cloud Adaptors for dynamic provisioning, auto scaling and

      load balancing across multiple cloud providers including Amazon EC2,

      OpSource Cloud, GoGrid and Rackspace.

    - A Centralized WSDL Library and Extended Virtualization Support via

      Virtual WSDL and WSDL Versioning for increased collaboration and

      control of business services across diverse application development,

      security and testing roles.

    - A Robust Management API for enhanced policy life cycle management, and

      secure, versatile cloud configuration, deployment and administration.

    - Oracle WebLogic and JBoss Enterprise Middleware Adaptors to bolster

      federated SOA deployments. This support builds on Crosscheck Networks',

      a Red Hat Ready Partner, announcement earlier this year that the

      company has joined the Red Hat Independent Software Vendors (ISV)
