Product details

Build, deploy, and host your next-generation, highly transactional enterprise Java applications

Cloud-ready, modular architecture

JBoss EAP 6 was created with cloud in mind from the very beginning. In fact, it is the first Java EE server offered in Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) architectures (including OpenShift by Red Hat). JBoss EAP's modular architecture is based on a services-driven set of components that greatly simplifies how applications can be deployed in different environments.

Built for performance

JBoss EAP has been optimized for simplified deployment and high performance in any environment—multicore, virtual, or cloud. The platform occupies an extremely low memory footprint and offers blazing fast start-up times, efficient resource utilization, and port management. Enterprise features such as failover, caching, intelligent load balancing, and distributed deployment means JBoss EAP can handle even the most demanding enterprise deployments.

Developer flexibility to innovate

JBoss EAP allows developers to be more productive and responsive to line-of-business demands with support for Java EE and a wide range of Java virtual machine frameworks, such as Spring, Struts, and Google Web Toolkit (GWT). And with JBoss EAP for OpenShift Enterprise, developers can take advantage of self-service application provisioning, simplified stack management, and application auto-scaling to innovate quickly and launch without worrying about getting the right environments up and running.

Flexible, future-friendly subscription model

What good is a cloud-ready application server if it requires a costly licensing migration to reap its value? The Red Hat subscription model not only takes upfront licensing out of the equation, it also gives you more flexibility as your architecture changes.

Want to deploy in a public cloud like Amazon Web Services? No problem. Want to implement virtualization or run on a portion of your hardware architecture? We can do that. It's all part of the Red Hat subscription model.
