ATLANTA – December 11, 2007 – Hannon Hill Corporation, makers of web content management solutions for mid-sized organizations including education, healthcare, technology and publishing companies, today announced the new release of its CMS, Cascade Server 5.0. The company unveiled the initial release candidate and preliminary enhancements to Cascade 5.0 at its second annual Cascade Server User’s Conference, which took place in Atlanta, September 24-25, 2007.
Following the success of Cascade Server 4.0, which streamlined the user interface, the latest version of the Cascade Server product line gives customers increased backend flexibility in a leaner, meaner web application proficient in handling more users and more concurrency. Additionally, brand new features such as Save as Draft and Database Publishing demonstrate Hannon Hill's committment to adding value for our clients with increased content control and flexibility.
“The new 5.0 release signifies a turning point in the development of Cascade Server,” explains David Cummings, President and CEO of Hannon Hill. “Listening to our clients, we realized that organizations are doing much more with Cascade Server than ever before – managing more sites, more users, and more complex content. By focusing this release on reliability and flexibility, we’re able to anticipate the growing requirements of our users.”
Cascade Server 5.0 incorporates the best-of-breed frameworks for persistence and web application deployment in Hibernate and Apache Tomcat for a re-vamped application that is both faster and more reliable under heavy load. A more dependable user experience can be expected regardless of how many other users are in the system at a given time.
“With Cascade 5.0, we have delivered a more consistently performing application out-of-the-box with the same versatility and configurability that our clients have grown accustomed to,” notes Bradley Wagner, Director of Engineering. “I think we can safely say that the customer input we’ve received along with the hard work and dedication of Hannon Hill’s development team have played critical roles in ensuring that Cascade 5.0 has surpassed our expectations and will surpass users’ as well.“
In addition to enhanced performance, Cascade Server 5.0 boasts fully optimized core operations, smarter database traffic, and support for application load balancing.
