Ben, I did a very quick evaluation on Blue Dragon when we were looking at purchasing another set of CFMX licenses. Price wise, implementation of 2 X 4CPU enterprise licenses of blue dragon was about the 72% of the cost of implementing 2 X 4CPU enterprise licenses of CFMX excluding the cost of purchasing the java app server. (this was just before christmas)
Advantages � Supports CF5.0 commands and syntax � Allows packaging of CFML applications completely within a standard J2EE archive file (WAR or EAR) for distribution. � Plans to support CFMX syntax currently under development � Claims to supports BEA WebLogic, IBM WebSphere, Sun ONE (iPlanet), Oracle iAS, and Macromedia JRun Disadvantages � Company is relatively small (New Atlanta Communications, LLC) � Does not support all CF5.0 commands and syntax � Version 1.0 of the system was released in April 2002. � Would cause divergent development efforts between intranet applications and internet applications. � No Australian support for the product � User base is not visible. � May not contain the required stub between the web server and the application server, this functionality may be supplied by the underlying application server. � Per CPU licensing model * note CFMX for j2ee is also per CPU licensing Scott. -----Original Message----- From: Ben Reid [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, 21 January 2003 10:22 AM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] What's the word on Blue Dragon? All, What's the word on Blue Dragon? Has anyone investigated launching CF5.0 sites on Blue Dragon? Deploying on J2EE Servers? Bearing in mind the recent price hike of CFMX Server Pro, we are considering deploying on Blue Dragon to save our customers $$$. Any thoughts?
