We are going through exciting times here at Atomikos! Today, we are pleased to announce that we will be offering single-point-of-contact, end-to-end support across different back-end systems for the following database vendors:

• Oracle
• DB2
• SQLServer
• Sybase
• Informix
• PostgreSQL via 2ndQuadrant (added on June 30 2011)

…and the following queuing vendors:

• MQSeries
• ActiveMQ
• SonicMQ

This is an initial list that will probably grow over time (stay in touch to find out).

What does this mean? Well, it means that Atomikos can offer support from the queue to the database and back again without you having to worry about dealing with different support channels.

This support is optional and not included in the standard support subscription. Contact us to find out more…

Good news: we've finally released our 3.7.0 release, with improved performance as the main focus. Although previous milestone builds have been released on repeated occasions, this is now the official 3.7.0 release for both TransactionsEssentials (open source, not supported) as well as ExtremeTransactions (not open source, subscription-based availability, with support).

To download, proceed to our homepage.

As per our new policies, the open source TransactionsEssentials product is now also available via maven central - including clean poms, sources that match the binaries and all other things that maven users deserve…

Over the next months we will be working with 2ndQuadrant to improve the Postgresql XA functionality and streamline compatibility with Atomikos products. During this time, we will gradually elaborate an XA compatibility test kit that will serve both as a test tool and a learning suite for XA features in databases in general.

Interested? Please contact us if you would like to get more details, or if you want to contribute…

The 3.7.0M5 milestone releases are now online, available via our homepage!

The next milestone build in our new maven ecosystem is ready!

We've fixed a lot of cosmetic issues from the previous releases (but expect no perfection yet:-).
