OUTSOURCING COLDFUSION PROJECTS (OUTSOURCING CF MX)

Key Features of ColdFusion MX:

1) Intuitive Server Scripting

*CFML:
Quickly develop dynamic Internet applications with the powerful yet easy-to-learn ColdFusion Markup Language.

*XML Handling:
Easily integrate data using built-in XML document parsing, XSL transformations, and automated serialization of data into XML.

*Session Management:
Transparently maintain application, session, and client variables with a powerful web application framework.

*Custom Tags:
Increase productivity by encapsulating common logic in custom tag libraries or use any of the thousands available on the ColdFusion Exchange.

*JSP Tag Library Import:
Leverage the growing universe of JSP tag libraries by using them just like ColdFusion custom tags.

*Code Compatibility Analyzer:
Simplify migration from previous versions by identifying deprecated tags and other problem areas in existing ColdFusion applications.

2) Integrated Application Services

*Full-Text Search:
Provide easy searching of unstructured content with Verity K2 Search, including web pages, documents, and database content.

*Dynamic Charting:
Easily produce professional business graphics with expanded chart types, support for multiple data series, and batch scheduling.

*Flash Remoting:
Deliver next-generation user experiences by integrating server-side logic with rich clients built in Macromedia Flash.

*Web Services:
Integrate with external web services or publish your own using a standards-based web services engine.

*Internet Protocol Integration:
Easily build mail-enabled applications, interact with remote web servers, or move files across the network using built-in support for standard Internet protocols.

3) Flexible Application Deployment

*Cross-Platform Portability:
Deploy your applications on any of the leading server operating systems, including Windows, Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX.

*Multiple Server Configurations:
Install ColdFusion as a standalone server or deploy as a J2EE web application for enhanced security, performance and integration.

*Java Application Server Deployment:
Develop and deploy ColdFusion applications on the bundled Macromedia JRun 4 J2EE server or on other servers, including IBM WebSphere, BEA WebLogic, and Sun ONE.

*Multiple Server Instances:
Increase security and availability by configuring individual sites or applications to run in their own server process.

*Web Server API Support:
Deploy ColdFusion MX with any of the leading web servers, including Microsoft IIS, Sun ONE/iPlanet, and Apache.

4) High-Performance Architecture

*Database Connection Pooling:
Increase application performance and reduce database overhead by reusing
pooled database connections.

* Flexible Page Caching:
Maximize server capacity by caching dynamic pages across multiple requests.

*Bytecode Caching:
Speed page execution with automatic in-memory caching of compiled CFML pages.

*Dynamic Load Balancing:
Ensure high performance by distributing application load across multiple instances or servers.

*Server Clustering:
Deliver high availability with automatic failover and session clustering.

5) Advanced Development Capabilities

*ColdFusion Components (CFCs):
Create self-documenting, reusable application components callable from CFML pages, Macromedia Flash clients, or via web services.

*Role-Based Security:
Authenticate and authorize users against any ColdFusion data source, including Active Directory, LDAP servers, and relational databases.

*JSP, Servlet, and EJB Support:
Create hybrid applications that combine ColdFusion pages with back-end logic written in Java by leveraging the bundled Macromedia JRun J2EE server.

*Internationalization:
Build applications that support non-Latin languages such as Chinese, Japanese, or Korean with built-in support for UNICODE encoding.

6) Enterprise Systems Integration

*Advanced Database Connectivity:
Connect to virtually any data source with high-performance JDBC drivers for Access, SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, and more.

* Directory Servers:
Access enterprise directories for authentication or authorization data via the lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP).

*Component/Object Integration:
Extend packaged applications or integrate with legacy systems with built-in support for COM interfaces, Java objects, and CORBA IIOP.

*Microsoft.NET Integration:
Leverage applications and components built with Microsoft’s .NET Framework through standards-based web services.

7) Advanced Server Management

*Web-Based Administrative Console:
Easily perform administrative tasks remotely through a browser-based administrator.

* Application Deployment Services:
Effortlessly package, migrate or archive applications and settings from within the ColdFusion administrator.

*Server Sandbox Security:
Secure shared hosting environments with directory-based access control for tags, functions, data sources, and IP addresses.

*Advanced Application Monitoring:
Configure custom probes to monitor server activity and react with automatic notifications or a scripted response.

*Scheduled Tasks:
Automate routine maintenance tasks, publish reports, or refresh static pages with the flexible scheduling utility.
