Day CRX 1.2 Eases Access to Enterprise Content Providing Full Support of Java™ Technology Standard - JSR 170

Basel, Switzerland and Irvine, California – August 16, 2006 – Day Software (SWX: DAYN, OTC:DYIHY), a leading provider of global content management and content infrastructure software, today announced the general availability of Day Content Repository Extreme (CRX) version 1.2, the latest version of Day’s innovative product that enables the storage, management and exchange of content across large-scale enterprises.

Day CRX provides an open, standards-based infrastructure for integrating business applications with any structured or unstructured content in an enterprise. New features in Day CRX enable the exchange of high-value content between applications and repositories. Major feature enhancements include:

Scalability / Stability
To increase performance in environments with large data volumes and noticeable transaction loads, CRX 1.2 now leverages the high-performance Apache Derby Persistence Manager. Apache Derby is a robust open source database sponsored by IBM. Apache Derby and IBM Cloudscape are both built from the same open source code base.

Active / Passive Clustering
Active / Passive Clustering is a first of several planned High Availability (HA) features and is now available with the new CRX release. This feature uses a central, high-availability database server for permanent storage, and two CRX servers for non-permanent storage. The two servers read from, and write to, the high-availability server.

Enhanced CRX resource management capabilities
Improvements in the areas of memory management, cache management and performance optimization will make CRX 1.2 advantageous in environments with large data volumes and noticeable transaction loads.


Day CRX is the first content repository on the market to offer complete support for the Java™ technology standards in content management, JSR 170 Content Repository for Java technology API. By natively supporting JSR 170, Day CRX enables applications to store, manage and access content in a robust Java technology-based repository, regardless of which platform, database, storage device, business or Web application was used to create the content. This will substantially mitigate the cost and complexity of maintaining and integrating content across an enterprise, and protect past and future technology investments in content repositories and applications.

“Day continues to play a leadership role in developing JSR 170 because we understand the profound impact that content repositories are having on the software infrastructure of global enterprises,” said David Nuescheler, CTO of Day Software. “We are delighted to offer Day CRX version 1.2, our most advanced repository so far, to help organizations easily store, manage and exchange content, no matter what application was used to create it.”
