Washington, D.C. - Nov. 18, 2004 - 1060 Research an advanced software infrastructure company, today announced the immediate availability of 1060 NetKernel Standard Edition v2.0.0. The announcement was made at XML 2004, the world's largest XML trade conference, in Washington, D.C.

"The emphasis for this version has been to consistently seek to eliminate complexity," says Peter Rodgers, CEO and Co-founder, 1060 Research. "At the same time we have introduced significant new technologies which broaden the palette of development options..."

1060 NetKernel Standard Edition v2.0.0 is a powerful, modular XML Application Server based on the 1060 NetKernel Microkernel. It provides a service-oriented operating environment upon which Web applications and Web services may be built. It features over 100 XML technologies including two powerful XML runtimes for creating flexible, transactional XML processes.

Customer David Butler from the P2P Food Traceability Consortium, comments, "In working with the NetKernel over the past year we have seen great opportunity to significantly reduce both the complexity of our project and future maintenance requirements. We have embraced this technology as a means of unifying the several transport technologies used in our project and to provide a single container which acts as both client and server in a true peer to peer fashion. The technology neutral framework upon which the NetKernel has been developed is of great advantage and will considerably increase the awareness of RESTful design."

1060 NetKernel Standard Edition is based on the 1060 NetKernel Microkernel v2.6.0. The Microkernel provides a powerful REST service oriented operating environment enabling modular component-based internet systems to be developed.
