Adobe ColdFusion Enterprise Edition

"Delivering high-performing websites and applications in a clustered or virtualized environment"

Adobe ColdFusion 9 Enterprise edition application server is designed for delivering high-performing websites and applications in a clustered or virtualized environment. It provides all the capabilities of ColdFusion 9 Standard, plus features for creating enterprise-ready applications.

What's new in ColdFusion 9 Enterprise edition?
• Object relational mapping - Build database-independent applications using object relational mapping based on the open source Hibernate library. Manage database logic and connectivity without writing any SQL.
• Enhanced caching - Boost performance by caching portions of pages with infrequently updated data. Specify a caching algorithm, and select disk- or memory-based caching.
• Enhanced PDF functionality - Reduce required code by adding images to PDF files directly within the CFPDF tag. Brand and protect files by easily adding watermarks, headers, and footers to your PDF files.
• Microsoft Office file interoperability - Read, create, and update spreadsheets using the new CFSPREADSHEET tag. Generate PDF files from PowerPoint and Word files. Produce HTML or SWF from PowerPoint presentations.
