NEW YORK, NY - December 18, 2001 - Representatives from e-business leaders
Akamai Technologies, Inc., Compaq, IBM, Interwoven, and Oracle convened last
week at Fall Internet World 2001 to discuss the latest technologies emerging
to accelerate e-business operations at the Internet`s edge.
Moderated by IDC analyst Lucinda Borovick, the panel discussion focused on
the benefits and growing impact of Edge Side Includes (ESI), an open mark-up
language created to define Web page fragments, such as customized stock
quotes and catalog prices, for dynamic assembly at the network`s edge.

Unique to ESI is a mechanism for managing content transparently across
Application Server solutions, Content Infrastructure, Content Management
Systems and Content Delivery Networks. ESI enables companies to develop Web
applications once and choose at deployment time where the application should
be assembled - on the application server, the content infrastructure, the
content management system or the content delivery network, significantly
reducing the cost and performance constraints of delivering dynamic content.
Akamai, Compaq, IBM, Interwoven, and Oracle, as well as other industry
leaders, have all provided support for the creation of ESI as an open,
uniform programming model that facilitates interoperability of ESI-compliant
applications across multiple vendor implementations.
