Azul Compute Appliance Certified for Apache Geronimo
The Apache Software Foundation's Geronimo Project has
certified Azul Systems' Virtual Machine and Compute Appliance for
the Apache Geronimo open source J2EE application server. Based on
Sun's J2EE TCK test suite, the certification means that organizations
using Apache Geronimo can safely migrate their J2EE-based applications
to the Azul Compute Appliance with virtually unlimited compute and
memory resources, enabling organizations to scale effortlessly and
sustain service levels for their crucial transaction-intensive
applications, even in the face of unpredictable demand.
"We are committed to ensuring that a growing number of open source
developers have access to certified solutions that help confidently
meet a broad array of industry challenges," said Jeff Genender of the
Apache Geronimo Project Management Committee. "The Azul Compute
Appliance offers the community a way to take the Geronimo application
server into data centers that run large-scale, transaction-intensive
systems."
Service-oriented architectures, open-source software and high-end
extreme transaction processing are just a few of the drivers that are
changing the needs of underlying business application architectures.
Today's business critical applications present scalability and response
time challenges that often lead to low asset utilization and
ever-growing IT administration and maintenance costs. This
infrastructure escalation is eating away at budgets that are better
spent on deploying new services and improving the business top line
growth. The combined power of Azul Compute Appliances working with
Apache Geronimo application server brings the necessary scalability and
consistent application response time to meet those challenges.
