700,000 Oracle(R) Developers Gain Early Access to Oracle Internet File System 04/24 05:21 Latest Oracle Software to Jump-Start Innovation on the File System Using Java and XML REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., April 24 /PRNewswire/ -- (http://www.oracle.com/tellmemore/?191689) Oracle Corp. (Nasdaq: ORCL), the largest provider of software for e-business, today announced that 700,000 members of its Oracle© Technology Network (OTN) have immediate and early access Oracle Internet File System (iFS). Oracle iFS, the first file system built for the Internet, combines the simplicity of the file system with the powerful information management capabilities of Oracle8i?. The Oracle iFS Early Access Program, announced today, follows a successful beta program with over 60 participating customers and partners. Unlike any other file system, iFS can be extended by Internet developers using Java and Extensible Markup Language (XML). Thus, Oracle iFS gives developers a wide range of functionality -- from the creation of simple file system enhancements to advanced web applications. For example, to improve collaboration between users, a developer could add a trigger to the file system so that when a new or revised document was dropped into a file system folder, the users would be notified automatically. "For the past 20 years, file system technology has remained stagnant," said Chuck Rozwat, Oracle executive vice president, Server Technologies. "With Oracle Internet File System, Oracle is applying its data management expertise to the management of documents, multi-media content, and all Internet data, providing a richer, more powerful, and reliable alternative to today's legacy file systems. Oracle8i is the one place for all your data." For developers, the introduction of iFS marks the beginning of a new era of application development. Legacy file systems are tightly linked to the operating system and specific desktop applications, such as e-mail, Microsoft Word and Excel. Oracle iFS breaks these links that isolate information from applications, and offers developers the benefits of a single information store, with database-strength manageability, security and reliability. Using iFS, developers can quickly enhance simple file system capabilities, enabling greatly increased end-user productivity and collaboration through automatic version control, check-in/check-out and advanced search. iFS can also be used to create advanced Web applications, like corporate portals, that span over 150 file types, taking advantage of iFS's built-in content management features, extensible file properties, ACL-based security and multiple document parenting. Previously, developers would have had to tediously hand-code file system capabilities -- like version control -- to accomplish what the features of iFS do quickly, simply and automatically. Oracle iFS is immediately available to OTN members for download on the Sun Solaris UNIX platform. Once installed, iFS can be accessed through any regular PC.
