SA Forum Announces Release 5 Specifications

The SA Forum’s Release 5 is a set of enhanced specifications that address the critical areas of security, software management and Java integration, while augmenting existing services and maintaining backwards compatibility. The Release 5 specifications are moving the SA Forum beyond core high availability services to provide commonality at the application level. These enhancements have been developed by SA Forum member companies with input from the community of implementers.

This modular architecture, built on open standard hardware and software, allows for greater reuse and a much quicker turnaround for new product introductions.
