“Moving to implement its recently announced e-commerce strategy,
Web application platform vendor Allaire Corp. (Nasdaq: ALLR) has
announced that its cross-platform Web application server has been
updated to run on the Linux open-source operating system (OS).”

“ColdFusion 4.5 — which features Java integration,
service-level failover and enhanced XML support for
business-to-business e-commerce — is one of the first commercial
application servers for Linux, according to Allaire. The product is
designed to be a platform for creating e-commerce and enterprise
systems…”

The updated ColdFusion product, according to Allaire, is
intended to complete its foundational investment in e-commerce,
providing users higher availability for large-scale applications
and increased integration capabilities with existing
systems.
