Coral8, Inc., a leading provider of complex event processing (CEP) software, has announced that IBM has integrated the Coral8 Engine with WebSphere RFID Information Center v1.1. In addition both companies announced a joint marketing and distribution agreement where all IBM customers using the new version of WebSphere RFID Information Center are eligible to use a free deployment license of the Coral8 Engine. This relationship will allow IBM customers to build and deploy their first RFID operational intelligence and real-time analytical application with Coral8 at no cost.
"WebSphere RFID Information Center and Coral8 are highly complementary," said Paraic Sweeney, vice president, product management, IBM. "Together, we will help customers establish a real-time manufacturing, supply chain, and distribution environment delivering information from RFID sensor networks on demand."
Under the terms of the teaming agreement, Coral8 and IBM will jointly market WebSphere RFID Information Center with the Coral8 Engine to companies in a number of industries requiring high volume RFID sensor networking solutions. These include pharmaceuticals, aerospace, and defense, consumer packaged goods, retail, warehousing and distribution, life sciences, health care, and automotive. Any company using the new version of the IBM product can use the Coral8 Adapter as a plug-in to establish rules for how their supply chain should work and what should happen if an exception to these rules occurs.
