Over the past five years, UNIX-to-Linux migration has saved enterprises millions of dollars, delivering a choice in hardware and superior performance. The next major open source migration: Moving legacy applications to an Open Source Architecture.
We're now introducing new subscriptions that will simplify the use of JBoss across the application life cycle, from development to production.
Architectures are complex—a mix of software stacks, applications, middleware. The proprietary approach to interoperability is to fuse them together using whatever means necessary. Usually by connectors, translators, or back-room deals. The result: a $5 billion middleware market, largely solving problems caused by bad architecture. And as organizations try to reclaim their legacy applications and the data trapped inside, they're forced to pay. Some enterprises spend as much as 70% of their IT budget maintaining legacy applications.
The traditional software industry has tried to solve this problem through a strategy called Service-Oriented Architecture. But the same closed approach will ultimately have the same expensive outcome.
Red Hat, along with customers and partners, is using its proven model of delivering enterprise-class services and support to redefine SOA to what it should be.
The Red Hat Open Source Architecture combines a virtualized operating system platform with a full set of building blocks for creating and deploying SOA-based solutions. Start with the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (or the fully integrated Red Hat Application Stack)—a single, integrated platform that includes the application and Web servers, clustering, and O/R mapping tools.
As users need further access to legacy applications and corporate data, the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform for Portals simplifies access to information by providing a single source of interaction with corporate information.
And as your application integration needs grow, the JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform (available Fall 2007) will provide an ESB-based platform for service integration, business process automation, and rules definition that is designed for interoperability and maximum flexibility.
