JXTA framework. The product extends convergence of peer services
with Web services for intra-company, B2B and B2C challenges.
It facilitates easy integration of employees, trading partners,
vendors, agents, clients, etc, within the existing infrastructure.

the enterprise P2P space. Part of the Sun ONE initiative,
the product will be put under the spotlight on Sun’s
JXTA.org website.

JXTA are presence, edge resources, identity and XML-RPC communication.
Announcing the launch, Dr Prasad, president and CEO, Alberg

way for the convergence of peer services with Web services
and applications, which are an integral part of any system
built on a service driven network. This integration enables
us to deliver a unified infrastructure with reusable components

for an enterprise.”
