Red Hat Delivers JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.0

Red Hat Delivers JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.0, a provider of open source solutions, delivered on its JBoss Open Choice strategy and announced availability of JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.0.

The company said the core middleware product represents next generation Java application platforms and will be integral to Red Hat's cloud foundation.

Red Hat explained that JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.0 supports developer choice and aims to provide a consistent foundation to support the wide variety of Java programming and component models, including Plain Old Java Objects, Java EE, Spring Framework, OSGi, Google Web Toolkit and a variety of Rich Internet Application frameworks and dynamic languages. Additionally, the platform spans the growing number of operating models, from traditional on-premise lightweight Java applications, to newer internal and external cloud-based deployments. According to Red Hat, customers are expected to benefit from easier application development and deployment, developer choice in programming models, protection against programming model changes and an easier transition to newer application deployment models.

"JBoss Enterprise Middleware allows us to be extremely flexible with our architecture. We can deploy on a range of options to suit our needs which is unlike any other IT vendor we have considered," said Tim Dion, CIO, Sensei, a developer of mobile and Web-based solutions. "With the addition of cloud enabled platforms Red Hat is anticipating our technology needs for the future which will help us make a seamless transition into cloud computing environments. Healthcare innovation, and the role mobile technology is playing in particular, is transforming individuals and organizations. Cloud computing environments like JBoss help bring these innovations to the masses."

"Not only have we delivered on our JBoss Open Choice strategy by releasing JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.0, but we are contributing to the future of Java application platforms from traditional to cloud-based environments," said Craig Muzilla, vice president, middleware, Red Hat. "Ultimately, we aim to give customers the flexibility to choose the right programming and deployment models to stay ahead of their competition."

Red Hat said that its middleware portfolio is designed to help customers take advantage of cloud computing. As a core component of Red Hat's cloud computing foundation, customers should be able to combine JBoss Enterprise Application Platform and Red Hat Enterprise Linux with integrated virtualization technologies that provide customers with a fully virtualized, standards-based enterprise open source cloud computing service platform, supporting both on-premise and off-premise cloud deployments.
