New Atlanta Announces New Edition and Competitive Upgrade Program for BlueDragon
Alpharetta, GA - March 29, 2007 - New Atlanta Communications, a leading producer of advanced server-side technologies, is pleased to announce a new .NET edition and a competitive upgrade program in conjunction with the release of the BlueDragon 7.0 product family for deploying ColdFusion® Markup Language (CFML) web applications.
Unparalleled Performance and Native Platform Support, now with unequalled pricing flexibility
BlueDragon is the only CFML engine with native deployment on both Java and Microsoft .NET based platforms. Deployment options range from BlueDragon Server, a standalone CFML application server, to any Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE™) and Microsoft .NET application server.
For a limited time, customers now have three new options for making the switch to BlueDragon:
- BlueDragon.NET: Standard Edition
- Competitive License Upgrade
- Competitive Subscription Swap
"The new language innovations and deployment platform options in BlueDragon have drawn considerable interest throughout the CFML community worldwide," said Vince Bonfanti, President of New Atlanta. "In direct response to customer feedback, this new .NET edition of BlueDragon and these new pricing initiatives make it even easier to transition to BlueDragon from ColdFusion."
BlueDragon for the Microsoft .NET Framework: Standard Edition
The Standard Edition introduces per-server pricing model for .NET-based deployments. The Standard Edition runs on both the Web and Standard editions of Microsoft operating systems. Database access includes all non-enterprise versions of MS SQL Server, plus ODBC and MySQL.
Standard Edition deployment licenses are priced at $1,999 per single machine, with unlimited cpus and unlimited client access. For a typical 2-CPU server deployment, this new pricing represents over 66% in savings over the Enterprise Edition of BlueDragon.
The Enterprise Edition runs on all Microsoft operating systems, including Windows Enterprise editions. Database access includes all versions of MS SQL Server, Oracle and Sybase, in addition to ODBC and MySQL. Enterprise Edition deployment licenses are priced for a single machine, starting at $2999 per-CPU, with unlimited client access.
