Nirvana 3.1 Product Guide

Introduction

my-Channels Nirvana 3.1 is available as 2 separate distributions, Nirvana Enterprise and Nirvana JMS. Nirvana Enterprise contains the full suite of Nirvana functionality including but not limited to JMS.

Nirvana Enterprise 3.1 is the next generation of our Nirvana Messaging product and provides new functionality such as clustering, scheduling and interface plugins, as well as the standard support for the messaging paradigms of publish/subscribe, message queues and P2P, as well as support for JMS. There is also a new and improved Administration Tool, called Enterprise Manager, that allows you to manage multiple realm servers whether they reside within your enterprise, or outside these boundaries within your extended enterprise.

Nirvana JMS provides only JMS functionality. This faciltates the building of pure JMS solutions and all of the application protability that comes with this. Please note however that JMS as a standard does not provide support for security and administration capabilities and so these are provided in our JMS version in a basic way only. The Enterprise Manager admin tool provided for JMS only servers uses this functionality.

For pricing information on these 2 products please email our sales representatives at sales@my-Channels.com, who will be happy to help you with your enquiries.

The following section describes in more detail the functionality available in the 2 products.
