Intalio’s Open Source BPMS Becomes Full Apache Project

September 18, 2007 Alex Woodie

Orchestration Director Engine (ODE), the open source business process management system (BPMS) developed by Intalio, has graduated from being an incubator project within the Apache Software Foundation to being a full “top level project,” Intalio announced last week.

Intalio makes development and runtime tools that allow business analysts to extract business processes from existing systems (including OS/400 servers), standardize them using the business process execution language (BPEL), and expose them to outside systems for the purpose of application integration. BPMSs can also play critical roles in the development and deployment of service oriented architectures (SOAs).

ODE is the core process engine underlying the Intalio BPMS suite, and it was contributed to Apache in July 2006. As a top-level Apache project, ODE now resides alongside such successful projects as the Apache HTTP server, which serves more than half of the world’s Web pages. Anybody can download and deploy ODE as part of a BPMS project. The software runs in the Java virtual machine, and had been tested on AIX, Linux, Solaris, MacOSX, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.

Ismael Ghalimi, CEO of Intalio, says having ODE developed within the Apache community should help bring BPM 2.0 to a more mainstream audience. “We’re very proud to be working with the Apache Software Foundation on this exciting new project,” he said. “We’re joining a group of less than 55 top level projects, seven of which have been started with donations made by Intalio over the past eight years.”

CYBER-ATTACKS ON THE RISE. PROTECT WITH THE TRIPLE PLAY.

COVID-19 has not only caused a global pandemic, but has sparked a “cyber pandemic” as well.

“Cybersecurity experts predict that in 2021, there will be a cyber-attack incident every 11 seconds. This is nearly twice what it was in 2019 (every 19 seconds), and four times the rate five years ago (every 40 seconds in 2016). It is expected that cybercrime will cost the global economy $6.1 trillion annually, making it the third-largest economy in the world, right behind those of the United States and China.”¹

Protecting an organization’s data is not a single-faceted approach, and companies need to do everything they can to both proactively prevent an attempted attack and reactively respond to a successful attack.

UCG Technologies’ VAULT400 subscription defends IBM i and Intel systems against cyber-attacks through comprehensive protection with the Triple Play Protection – Cloud Backup, DRaaS, & Enterprise Cybersecurity Training.

Cyber-attacks become more sophisticated every day. The dramatic rise of the remote workforce has accelerated this trend as cyber criminals aggressively target company employees with online social engineering attacks. It is crucial that employees have proper training on what NOT to click on. Cyber threats and social engineering are constantly evolving and UCG’s Enterprise Cybersecurity Training (powered by KnowBe4) is designed to educate employees on the current cutting-edge cyber-attacks and how to reduce and eliminate them.

A company is only as strong as its weakest link and prevention is just part of the story. Organizations need to have a quick response and actionable plan to implement should their data become compromised. This is the role of cloud backup and disaster-recovery-as-a-service (DRaaS).

Data is a company’s most valuable asset. UCG’s VAULT400 Cloud Backup provides 256-bit encrypted backups to two (2) remote locations for safe retrieval should a cyber-attack occur. This is a necessary component of any protection strategy. Whether a single click on a malicious link brings down the Windows environment or an infected SQL server feeds the IBM i, once the data is compromised, there is no going back unless you have your data readily available.

Recovery is not a trivial task, especially when you factor in the time sensitive nature of restoring from an active attack. This leads to the third play of the Triple Play Protection – DRaaS. Companies have myriad concerns once an attack is realized and a managed service disaster recovery allows employees to keep focus on running the business in a crisis state.

The combination of training employees with secure backup and disaster recovery offers companies the best chance at avoiding financial disruption in an age of stronger, more frequent cyber-attacks.
