Subject: [announce] OASIS Member News: NeoCore XMS 2.6 Delivers Performancefor Mainstream Applications


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEOCORE XMS 2.6 DELIVERS PERFORMANCE FOR MAINSTREAM APPLICATIONS
Self-constructing XML database supports XQuery and Solaris 64-bit platform, enhancing the product's rapid application development capabilities
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - August 19, 2002 - NeoCore Inc. today announces version 2.6 of its core product, NeoCore XML Information Management System (XMS), a self-constructing native XML database that dramatically reduces the cost and time to market for dynamic business applications. This release, which includes an optimized stand-alone server architecture, substantial support of XQuery and the option for a Solaris 64-bit platform, further solidifies NeoCore's commitment to delivering the industry's highest performing XML information management solutions. This makes NeoCore XMS the first XML database to be commercially viable for delivering mainstream applications, leveraging XML. 

NeoCore XMS 2.6 is unique in its ability to meet the demands of businesses with rapidly changing information requirements and the need to support varied - even heterogeneous - data sets.  To accomplish this, NeoCore leverages the natural characteristics of XML and couples that with the company's patented Digital Pattern Processing (DPP) technology to enable a faster and simpler development capability.  It is DPP at the core of XMS that lets NeoCore boast an impressive performance and a very low footprint for both the software and the database. 

"The advantages brought about with this release position NeoCore to deliver a legitimate alternative to traditional database platforms," said Ric Miles, NeoCore president and chief executive officer. "We are committed to continually raising the bar and improving on our already-solid technology as shown by the advancements in version 2.6 and our roadmap to upcoming versions. These steps have gained us significant traction with companies that are looking to develop customized applications faster, more economically and more simply."

NeoCore XMS 2.6 product enhancements include the following:
* Support of XQuery, enabling a rich set of standards-based query capabilities
* A standalone server architecture that increases the product's extensibility and simplifies installation and management
* Support for the Solaris 64-bit platform, providing increased address space and capacity to scale
* EJB to integrate with J2EE architectures, providing a standard J2EE interface to facilitate scaling and access to advanced XML processing
* HTTP interface to provide a formatted URI method for Web Services capability, instant integration to other applications, and an ability to create lightweight client applications
* Dramatically increased query and store performance to power the most demanding applications

"We looked at all available databases and NeoCore XMS was the clear winner. We needed a native XML database that would scale to enterprise size and also excel at managing data, not just XML documents," said Art Pennington, chief technology officer of The SoftLife, a B2B solutions provider for the financial services industry that built its SoftTop customer-transaction software upon NeoCore XMS. "NeoCore XMS provided speed, flexibility and ease of use right out of the box and integrated easily within our standards-based development environment.  With no compromises to either performance or scalability, we're now able to really take advantage of our use of XML."
       
The use of NeoCore XMS as an XML information store means a significantly shortened and simplified development process for the business.  Because XMS is self-constructing and can index information automatically at every level, customers have been able to realize an average of 50 percent decrease in application development cost; and those savings get better over time because the XMS database adapts easily to change. 

Ron Schmelzer, senior analyst with ZapThink, LLC, an XML and Web Services-focused analyst group, said that NeoCore's release of XMS 2.6  illustrates the forward-thinking advancements the company is capable of producing for XML information management. "NeoCore XMS 2.6 allows users a potent way of storing, managing, and navigating through the rich hierarchy of XML in ways not possible with other types of solutions, " Schmelzer says.  "These enhancements allow companies to save time and money, while working smarter and faster in order to thrive in today's challenging economic environment."
   
NeoCore XMS 2.6 is available Aug. 30. The Standard Edition, for 32-bit platforms, is priced at $20,000 per CPU. The Professional Edition, for 64-bit platforms, is $30,000 per CPU.
