February 06 2024 - 9:00AM
Progress (Nasdaq: PRGS), the trusted provider of infrastructure
software, today announced the latest release of Progress®
OpenEdge®, the flagship application development platform used by
over 100,000 customers across the globe to simplify the delivery of
mission-critical business applications. By leveraging the new
features and enhancements of OpenEdge 12.8, organizations can
optimize their development processes, improve database performance,
enhance application security and stay current with the evolving
technology landscape.
“For decades, Progress has provided the technology businesses
need to not only run effectively, but to thrive as markets evolve
and end-user needs change,” said John Ainsworth, Executive Vice
President, General Manager, Application and Data Platform,
Progress. “Whether you're an ABL developer seeking enhanced
productivity tools, a database administrator aiming to streamline
management tasks or a security-conscious professional striving to
protect critical assets, OpenEdge 12.8 enables you to develop,
deploy and manage business applications that are more secure,
scalable and agile.”
Developer Productivity OpenEdge 12.8 enhances
developer productivity by equipping ABL (Advanced Business
Language) developers with tools and features to streamline their
workflows, including:
- Enhanced OpenEdge observability: OpenEdge 12.8
integrates OpenTelemetry, a powerful observability framework, with
instrumentation to provide operational metrics and trace
information. Metrics assist in managing your OpenEdge applications,
while traces provide developers with deep insights into application
performance to identify code bottlenecks and optimize application
performance.
- Faster
turn-around on
builds: With incremental build support,
developers can change their codebase and quickly rebuild only the
affected parts. This significantly reduces build times, enabling
faster iterations and accelerated development cycles.
Integration and Management OpenEdge
12.8 delivers advancements in application integration and
environment management through improved monitoring and
administration capabilities.
- Real-time messaging and streaming with Apache
Kafka: Integration with Kafka enables businesses to use it
to enhance their applications with event streaming and data
integration for real-time data feeds.
- OpenEdge Command Center
(OECC): A state-of-the-art, cloud-ready tool and APIs that
simplify managing OpenEdge applications. OECC provides centralized
monitoring, administration and diagnostics, integrating popular
Application Performance Management (APM) tools that are likely
already in your environment.
- Database online maintenance:
This release includes various database improvements that enable
more administrative tasks to be performed online, eliminating the
need for downtime for offline maintenance operations. It also
offers a variety of performance improvements, especially in the
areas of database scan/repair and backup/restore.
Application and Data ProtectionsOpenEdge 12.8
introduces several features to reinforce application security and
help safeguard critical data.
- Data Regulation Support with Dynamic Data Masking
(DDM): For a Security Administrator or Database
Administrator who needs to enable OpenEdge business applications
with data privacy and integrity compliance requirements like GDPR
or HIPAA, the DDM capability offers an easier approach to disguise
the sensitive data at run time, based on user role
permissions.
- Hardware Security Module (HSM) support:
OpenEdge 12.8 supports HSMs, which help provide a more secure
environment for cryptographic operations, facilitating the
protection of sensitive data and supporting compliance with
stringent security standards.
- Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 support:
OpenEdge 12.8 adopts OpenSSL 3.1, the latest version of the
open-source cryptographic library which supports TLS 1.3. This
helps enhance security protocols and cryptographic algorithms to
promote robust encryption and data integrity for OpenEdge
applications.
OpenEdge is the leading platform for developing enterprise
applications needing high performance, high availability and
flexible deployment options for extensibility, scalability,
security and reliability. Developers around the world are using the
OpenEdge application development platform to build innovative
business applications that are the backbone of healthcare,
financial services, manufacturing and other industries.
