Intalio, Inc., The Open Source BPMS Company, today announced that its open-source BPEL process engine named Orchestration Director Engine (ODE) has recently graduated from the Apache incubator to a Top Level Project. ODE was contributed by Intalio to the Apache Software Foundation in July 2006, following Intalio's acquisition of FiveSight Technologies.

ebizQ received the following:

"We're very proud to be working with the Apache Software Foundation on this exciting new project," said Ismael Ghalimi, Intalio CEO. "We're joining a group of less than 55 Top Level Projects, 7 of which have been started with donations made by Intalio over the past 8 years. Having ODE developed within the Apache community should help bring BPM 2.0 to a more mainstream audience, which is very much along the lines of Intalio's mission in the marketplace."

This graduation marks an important milestone in the development of Intalio|Server, which is built on top of the ODE engine. ODE is the only open-source BPEL engine currently available under a liberal open-source license and supports all versions of the BPEL specification (1.0, 1.1, and 2.0). Built upon this foundation, Intalio|Server is the fastest and most scalable process engine currently available on the market, capable of supporting hundreds of thousands of different process models deployed on the same server, and hundreds of millions of process instances running concurrently on a single CPU.

The ODE engine is now part of the Apache Software Foundation's collection of enterprise-class servers, among which is the market-leading Apache HTTP server, which according to Netcraft serves more than 50% of the world's Web pages. ODE version 1.1 is available for download from http://ode.apache.org/
