It's Here! Adobe Ships ColdFusion 8

Performance Gains and Integration Are Lauded

ColdFusion 8 offers expanded support such as .NET integration, Microsoft Windows Vista and JBoss support, and integration with the latest version of enterprise databases, giving organizations enhanced efficiency, interoperability, and scalability.  "The new Exchange and .NET integration added to ColdFusion 8 provides outstanding functionality. ColdFusion allows communication between even more types of disparate systems, which was previously very difficult," said Nicholas Kwiatkowski, Communication Systems Analyst at Michigan State University.  "With ColdFusion 8, we can develop applications incredibly fast and deploy them to customers with minimal lag and programming resources. The time savings with ColdFusion 8 is phenomenal."

ColdFusion 8 is available in two editions: ColdFusion 8 Enterprise Edition is a high-performance solution for delivering multiple Web sites and applications on one or more servers, or on existing J2EE application server installations; ColdFusion 8 Standard is an easy-to-manage configuration for single applications that is ideal for small to medium-sized businesses. Enterprise Edition is available for $7499 per 2-CPUs, and Standard Edition is available for $1299 per 2-CPUs.

ColdFusion may also be used for development at no cost with the free Developer Edition, a full-featured server for development use only.  Special upgrade pricing is available to owners of valid ColdFusion MX 6 and 7 licenses.  ColdFusion 8 is immediately available for purchase online from the Adobe Store, directly from Adobe, and through Adobe's network of partners and resellers.
