Evolution Hosting has selected Jive Forums from JiveSoftware as its community software offering. Jive Forums is a leading, Java-based discussion forum with hundreds of customers world-wide including BEA and Sun Microsystems.

Evolution Hosting account-holders, both current and new, can select the Jive Forums service and, within minutes, have a fully-functioning community.

"With the Jive Forums offering, Evolution has continued its tradition of taking best-of-breed software offerings and automating their configuration and management. With Jive we have automated setup and maintenance activities including email configuration and database connectivity. Likewise, in line with our goal to make deployment of J2EE applications easy, Evolution Hosting automatically deploys a Jive Forums application to the account's server of choice upon signing-up for the service.", CTO - Jason Westra.

Evolution Hosting urges existing account-holders to utilize Jive Forums for their online communities and welcomes new users to sign-up for a free trial account to see how easy it is to host an online community.

Evolution Hosting offers both Jive Forums 2.5 Basic and Professional. See www.jivesoftware.com for more information on these products.

As complex applications began to proliferate with the rise of the Internet, many organizations found the ongoing management and deployment of these systems prohibitive. Applications that previously only existed in large companies and private data centers became a standard cost of business to small organizations with limited IT budgets.

Evolution Hosting began building application management technologies around the Java platform beginning in 1999. Since that time, the myEvolution™ Hosting Control Center has grown in features and supported vendor platforms to become the leading management solution on the Java Hosting marketplace.

Currently, Evolution assists small and large companies, Java community sites, and individual developers in deploying their applications to the Internet. With distributed development teams on every continent using myEvolution on a daily basis to manage both small shared, and large dedicated environments, Evolution is proven technology.
