JBuilder 3.5 Enterprise for Windows, Solaris, and Linux Sale Price: $37.98

Borland's JBuilder Enterprise 3.5 delivers a state-of-the-art set of tools for serious development in Java based on the Enterprise JavaBean (EJB) and CORBA standards. Designed to grow with the needs of your organization, JBuilder works with Linux, Windows NT, and Solaris, offering a host of wizards and high-end features that help make this one of most advanced tools for Java development currently available. Because the JBuilder programming environment is itself written in Java, it runs on Linux, Windows, and Solaris. This integrated development environment features many wizards that simplify working with EJBs and CORBA (for distributed computing), plus it offers extensive support for programming with databases. Borland pioneered rapid application development with Delphi, and JBuilder benefits from this legacy of expertise. You'll find that JBuilder is an extremely capable programming tool that supports a visual component-based style of development. The heart of this Enterprise version of JBuilder is the bundled Inprise Application (IAS) Server 4.0, which includes the industrial-strength Visigenic ORB for CORBA support. (IAS also runs across server platforms--Solaris, Linux, and Windows--so you can deploy it on whatever server hardware your organization uses.) IAS implements all the features that are available in Sun's Java 2 Enterprise Edition standard, centering on Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs), servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSPs). This combination of CORBA, EJB, and JSP support helps make JBuilder Enterprise an outstanding choice for developing today's distributed applications and Web sites. Besides these core features, this package also bundles useful additional tools, like a database written in Java (called JDataStore), dozens of data-aware Java components in DataExpress, plus copies of other Inprise programming tools (Delphi 4 and C++Builder 4 Professional). This product includes 11 printed manuals as well as extensive online help.

Solaris 10 ZFS Essentials List Price: $31.99 Average Rating:

The ZFS file system offers a dramatic advance in data management with an innovative approach to data integrity, tremendous performance improvements, and a welcome integration of file system and volume management capabilities. The centerpiece of this new architecture is the concept of a virtual storage pool, which decouples the file system from physical storage in the same way that virtual memory abstracts the address space from physical memory, allowing for much more efficient use of storage devices.   In ZFS, space is shared dynamically between multiple file systems from a single storage pool and is parceled out from the pool as file systems request it. Physical storage can therefore be added to storage pools dynamically, without interrupting services. This provides new levels of flexibility, availability, and performance. Because ZFS is a 128-bit file system, its theoretical limits are truly mind-boggling–2128 bytes of storage and 264 for everything else, including file systems, snapshots, directory entries, devices, and more.   Solaris™ 10 ZFS Essentials is the perfect guide for learning how to deploy and manage ZFS file systems. If you are new to Solaris or are using ZFS for the first time, you will find it very easy to get ZFS up and running on your home system or your business IT infrastructure by following the simple instructions in this book. Then you too will understand all the benefits ZFS offers: Rock-solid data integrity No silent data corruption–ever Mind-boggling scalability Breathtaking speed Near-zero administration Solaris™ 10 ZFS Essentials is part of the Solaris System Administration Series and is intended for use as a full introduction and hands-on guide to Solaris ZFS.
