Innovation for the future

JBoss EAP helps you prepare for the future by delivering innovative technology and investment protection. It combines the pioneering power of open source software with the stability and security of enterprise-level software—a winning combination now and in the future.

Enterprise-class stability

Benefit from the latest open source innovations that have been tested and certified for enterprise-class stability on a combination of leading operating systems, chip architectures, and databases. With a long-term product support lifecycle and backed with an extensive partner ecosystem of certified independent software vendors (ISVs), JBoss middleware gives you a stable platform for any mission-critical Java application.

Required security standards and then some

Targeted at meeting rigorous industry security requirements, like Common Criteria, JBoss EAP implements all of the required Java security standards and more.

In addition to being backed by Red Hat's security response process, to help your IT organization maintain a secure middleware environment, JBoss EAP includes features for:

• Password masking.

• Instance-based access control.

• Security negotiation.

• Audit.

• Integration support with common single sign-on solutions.

Low, predictable middleware costs

Reduce capital expenses and free up operating costs by using an affordable solution that includes everything you need for enterprise Java applications. With productivity tools for both developers and administrators, JBoss EAP gives you a stable, reliable platform and keeps middleware costs low and predictable, reducing your total cost of application ownership (TCO).

Best return on investment

Independent studies show that JBoss middleware provides the greatest ROI in the industry. A recent IDC report stated that over a 3-year period, companies deploying JBoss EAP generated an ROI of 569% and paid back their initial investment in less than 6 months after the platform was fully deployed.

Full management and control

For enterprise-wide management, get JBoss Operations Network (JBoss ON) to control, administer, and proactively manage all of your development testing and deployment environments.

JBoss ON gives IT operations a single, centralized, easy-to-use graphical management and administration tool for all types of Java application workloads. It lets you:

• Inventory resources from the operating system to applications.

• Control and audit your application configurations to standardize deployments.

• Manage, monitor, and tune your applications for improved visibility, performance, and availability.

• Coordinate the many stages of the application lifecycle.

• Improve operational efficiency and reliability.
