The French company said the platform provides a powerful and flexible infrastructure that meets the needs of large-scale enterprises investing in SOA, with first implementations in the media, energy, and defense sectors.
It said support has been beefed up and it now offers enterprise-grade functional & technical support, certified software patches and updates, and management tools that are available during every stage of the application lifecycle.
The Nuxeo software is based on the Nuxeo Service Platform (SP), designed for ECM and that manages tasks including storage, indexing, search, security, workflow, and archiving. Application developers can access these services by embedding the platform core in their Java applications or through distributed technologies typically found within an SOA development such as Java EE remoting, or SOAP and REST Web Services.
Nuxeo said the platform itself is extensible because it is built entirely on an infrastructure of plug-ins and extension points based on the OSGi standard. It said developers and integrators can create custom configurations and extensions by creating a set of plug-ins to adapt the platform without having to touch the platform code.
There is advanced search based on the NXQL query language, which is SQL-based, and a flexible configuration system. There is also enhanced scalability, and the company pointed to a new data import/export service designed to facilitate migration from legacy systems and enable people to move content out of Nuxeo too, should they so wish.
Nuxeo’s software is free to license, with ongoing subscriptions payable for support depending on the number of deployments rather than the number of users.
The company was founded in 2001. Integration partners include Atos Origin, Business & Decision, Capgemini, Eurocis, and LogicaCMG/Unilog.
