Open Source Innovation + Enterprise-Class Stability
Subscribing to enterprise open source software like Red Hat®'s JBoss® Enterprise Middleware portfolio has become increasingly compelling for organizations wanting to increase their productivity, value, and control while benefiting from enterprise-class support SLAs, guaranteed patches, updates, hot-fixes, and legal assurance.
Our JBoss enterprise products—available to customers with support subscriptions—represent the best of both worlds:
- Software developed by a vibrant open source community
- The testing, certification, documentation, training, and support expected from mature enterprise software products
Red Hat® integrates the best projects and features from the JBoss Community and other communities into stable, supported enterprise-class middleware offerings. Then rigorously tests and certifies them against multiple operating systems, Java™ Virtual Machines (JVMs), and databases.
