My little announce

[Frederic Bregier]

Hi all,

I just want to share with all Netty team and users that I finally got my two
projects into production this last week. All tests were passed with success,
thanks to Netty which makes easier for us to develop our network tools.

The two main projects now in production are:

- OpenR66: a file transfer monitor, which can handle a lot of file transfer,
restarting, including SSL and multiplexing of socket, a database support for
monitoring (several JDBC database are supported). This project is more or
less close to the CFT proprietary software (banking exchange) but does not
implement the Pesit protocol (a new protocol was designed to be as possible
efficient and secure).

Netty was quite impressive to help us to include all of the functionalities
(specifically multiplexing, SSL, HTTP/HTTPS, bandwidth limitation usage) and
of course its stability, memory usage, performance were quite important for
us. The main development duration was about 2 months for the network model
(mainly on multiplexing and HTTP support) and 3 months more for finishing
the business model and fixing bugs.

- GoldenGate FTP (and its sub project Ftp Exec): a sort of passive gateway
which can transform a FTP file transfer into another protocol or simply do a
pre action (before RETRieve command) or post action (after STORe like
commands). In our case, we use it to be able to receive from users that do
not have a file transfer monitor (even simple PC), but have to transfer to a
mainframe some files using FTP. The frontal FTP server written in java with
Netty receive files from FTP then forward them to the mainframe using
OpenR66. 

Again, Netty was quite impressive too, specifically there for its facility
to implement some special functionality in the "business" model (mixing
Command and Data network connections in the business model). Contrary to
other FTP server projects using NIO, both Command and Data connections are
using Nio thanks to Netty. The main development duration was about 2 months
for the network model and 1 months more for finishing the business model and
fixing bugs.

You can have some picture  (and a benchmark on the FTP server) on my home
page: http://openr66.free.fr

I really want to thank you all, and of course with a special thank to
Trustin!

Cheers,
Frederic
