(InfoWorld) - Hewlett-Packard Co. is acquiring a storage software company that the company says will give it important leverage in the enterprise-class network-attached storage (NAS) market. HP on Monday signed a definitive agreement to acquire PolyServe Inc., of Beaverton, Oregon, but did not disclose the terms of the transaction. PolyServe has 117 employees. With PolyServe's software, information from file or database servers can be consolidated into a single, shared pool of storage that is highly available and can be expanded to match business demands, HP said in a news release. PolyServe, founded in 1999, has been an HP partner for the last two years. Its software can run on HP's storage arrays and Proliant servers in Linux and Microsoft Corp. Windows environments. The acquisition also means HP can run PolyServe software on NAS blade servers. Blades are the fastest growing segment of the server industry. HP placed second to EMC Corp. in storage hardware revenue in the third quarter of 2006, according to a report from IDC. HP held 17.6 percent of the worldwide market in the third quarter with sales of US$760 million, while EMC lead with a 21.4 percent share on revenue of $927 million.

(InfoWorld) - JBoss is introducing an upgrade to its open-source portal software on Monday that features integration with Google Gadgets, With Google Gadgets, developers can drop Google Gadget components onto a portal. These are mini-applications that work with the Google homepage, Google Desktop, or any page on the Web. Examples of Gadgets include a calendar, a weather globe, or a media player. JBoss Portal 2.6 also adds improvements in personalization, identity management, and workflow, JBoss said. The software will serve as the foundation of the JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform. Advanced personalization in version 2.6 enables users to personalize individual portlets, including themes, layouts, and content, to suit specific roles. "The personalization has become much easier to do," said Ram Venkataraman, JBoss's director of product management. Portlets may be managed overall or as individual instances. User administration in this version simplifies user creation and features search. The use of jBPM (Business Process Management) in the product provides content management approval workflow in a configurable process. Pre-built LDAP integration is featured with servers supported including Red Hat Director Server, OpenDS, and OpenLDAP. JBoss Portal 2.6 also features integration with the Ajax4jsf and RichFaces development frameworks. Extended support for the Web Services for Remote Portlets specification also is featured in version 2.6 with implicit cloning capabilities added. Cloning allows for deploying one instance of a portlet and reusing it with a different configuration. JBoss Portal 2.6 requires use of JBoss Application Server. The company may enable its portal software to work with other application servers in a future release, Venkataraman said. JBoss Portal is licensed under the LGPL (Lesser GNU General Public License).
