"We are very excited to work with such renowned company," said Jacobi, chief executive officer of Kaazing.

Combining Sun's application server, Glassfish, with Kaazing's real-time Web engine, Enterprise Comet, provides a development platform that allows developers to push the boundaries of the Internet, enabling the delivery of more dynamic and interactive applications than currently exist today. I am confident that with Sun's support, Kaazing can alter the fabric of the Web, creating a new Web that allows the development of real-time, multi-user applications based on simple and democratizing standard technologies like Java, HTML and JavaScript."

"As far as we're concerned, the enterprise equals Java," said John Fallows, CTO and co-founder of Kaazing Corporation. "We have been actively involved in the Java community for many years and when we were introduced to project Glassfish, we were quickly convinced that its combination of low development impact and high performance was a perfect fit for our real-time Web solution. Together with Sun we can now deliver an advanced and scalable real-time Web 2.0 solution for the Java enterprise."
