That's right, folks ... JFS for EVERYBODY!!! I'll
be making this announcement today. Those of you who
ordered eCS Professional during the promotion will
be getting a credit on your credit card .. or a
'rebate check'.

===================================================
Serenity Systems announced today that it has
reached a new agreement with IBM regarding software
rights associated with eComStation (eCS).
Specifically, the new agreement calls for the
Journaling File System (JFS), once available only
in the eCS Professional product, or as a fee based
optional feature, will now become part of the eCS
base product with no increase in costs to the user.
"We were able to convince IBM to let us include JFS
with no increase in price and we are passing the
new functions and the costs savings right along to
the users." said Bob St.John, Director of Business
Development for Serenity Systems.
Executive Director Kim Cheung added, "Today, the
size of disks used in all PCs warrants a JFS
implementation. But there's more. JFS has stronger
caching capabilities than HPFS. eCS has to support
the Java environment, including IBM's Java 1.3
implementation, also part of the eCS GA product,
and the direction to servlets launched by products
like Websphere. To have a responsive system
directed at e-commerce and Internet style
computing, JFS is pivotal. IBM agreed that JFS
makes the products more consistent with the
direction of the industry."
St.John continued, "We're delighted with the way
IBM has been supporting us. eCS continues to
increase its value to the industry and we are able
to hold the line on costs."
For those customers who have ordered the eCS
Professional, or the JFS feature, an adjustment
will be made. JFS is planned to ship in the Preview
product, which is expected to begin distribution
the week of September 25.
===================================================
These discussions only reached their conclusion
this past Monday .. which means the Preview can now
include JFS. I think we'll agree that eCS is one
heckuva kickass product, eh!?!
Regards,
Bob St.John
