Red Hat Application Server Reduces Complexity
Red Hat Application Server is an open source middleware platform, layered between the operating system and applications, that provides the foundation for linking systems and resources dispersed across the network. It comprises a runtime system and associated development libraries for creating and deploying Java-based web applications with dynamic content.
By isolating applications from the operating system, Red Hat Application Server makes web application development less complex, allowing developers to focus on business logic code rather than infrastructure code such as memory management, multi-threading, and resource allocation. In addition, it improves runtime efficiency by simultaneously managing access to distributed resources for many web applications.
Engineered and tested with Red Hat partner technologies, including those from BEA, IBM and Oracle, Red Hat Application Server easily integrates with these vendors’ full-featured J2EE application servers and Red Hat Enterprise Linux to lower operational costs. This solution gives customers the ability to choose an open source solution based on budget and business need while protecting their existing J2EE investments. And because it runs on commodity hardware platforms such as IA-32, Itanium and IBM POWER series, Red Hat Application Server allows customers to use less expensive hardware for their Java applications as well.
Created as part of Red Hat’s Open Source Architecture, Red Hat Application Server runs seamlessly on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. That means customers can now receive their application server updates and maintenance through the Red Hat Network, just as they do for their operating system.
