Coral8 Engine Named Finalist in 18th Annual Jolt Product Excellence Awards
Complex Event Processing Company in Position to Win “Oscar” of IT for the Second Year in a Row
MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, January 7, 2008 -- Coral8, Inc., a leading provider of Complex Event Processing (CEP) software, today announced that the Coral8 Engine has been named a finalist in the 18th Annual Jolt Product Excellence Awards. The Coral8 Engine is a finalist in the Best Database Engines and Tools category once again, having won a Productivity Award last year.
During the past 17 years, CMP Media has presented Jolt Product Excellence and Productivity awards to spotlight products that have made it faster and easier to create enterprise software. Jolt-award winners are the software products, books and websites that developers should be using today. They define who is ahead of the curve, honoring products that are universally useful, simple, and rich in functionality. These products generally redefine their space or solve a nagging problem that has consistently eluded others in the industry. Products in the Best Database Engines and Tools grouping help facilitate, maintain and manage the storage and retrieval of data and objects, including search tools for the desktop and the enterprise.
"We’re honored to be chosen as a finalist for this prestigious award for the second consecutive year,” said Terry Cunningham, CEO of Coral8, Inc. “Over the past year, developers have increasingly adopted Coral8 to power custombuilt applications as businesses recognize that having immediate access to real-time data is a competitive weapon. CEP is a space to watch in 2008.”
“CEP is opening new vistas for real-time analytics, and the Coral8 platform is compelling both among CEP options and within the overall data-management category,” said Seth Grimes, Jolt Judge and analytics-strategy consultant. “Coral8's Jolt entry beat some tough competition for finalist status.”
The Coral8 Engine provides developers with an innovative yet familiar platform and tools to harness the power of CEP and create a real-time business. The Coral8 Engine is the industry’s fastest platform for developing next generation CEP applications, and provides a scaleable, manageable platform to deploy these real-time CEP applications anywhere and everywhere in the organization.
Jolt winners will be announced March 5, 2008 at SDWest in Santa Clara, Calif. More information on the award can be found at http://joltawards.com/.
