Sun Microsystems, Inc. today announced the immediate availability of the Sun Java Integration Suite, the sixth suite in Sun's Java Enterprise System (Java ES). The new technology suite is a result of the company's acquisition of SeeBeyond, announced today in a separate release. With nearly 1 million Java ES subscribers to date, this addition will build upon Java ES's proven success and position it as the most complete software platform for building Service Oriented Architectures (SOA), Web services and composite applications.

Sun plans to deliver the next version of the Sun Java Integration Suite in-line with the release schedule of Q1 2006, as previously outlined by SeeBeyond, with support for a number of platforms, including Solaris 10, Microsoft Windows, HP-UX, IBM AIX, Red Hat, SuSe, IBM ZOS, IBM WebSphere, and BEA WebLogic. Additionally, Sun intends to detail the future roadmap within 90 days, including plans to add the Java Integration Suite to Java ES.

The Sun Java Integration Suite is now available with both perpetual license and subscription pricing. Subscription pricing will be available upon customer request.

Sun will continue support for SeeBeyond's current customer installed base by maintaining current support levels of previous SeeBeyond releases in order to protect customers' investments. In addition, Sun plans to hold the next Horizon's user conference, details of which will be communicated at a later date.
