Red Hat has its Head in the Cloud
By CXOtoday Staff
Mumbai, Jun 17, 2008

Red Hat has announced the beta availability of its JBoss Enterprise Application Platform as a solution within the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). Amazon EC2 is a Web service that provides cost-effective resizable compute capacity to help businesses deliver highly scalable and reliable solutions. JBoss Enterprise Application Platform offers an enterprise-class Java application server available on Amazon EC2.

As a continuance of the Enterprise Acceleration Initiative announced in February 2008 to help increase enterprise adoption of open source middleware, availability of the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform on Amazon EC2 is based on the growing importance of cloud computing as well the ever-increasing need for more processing power.

Red Hat is hoping that with this initiative, developers, enterprises, and startups will get enhanced access to open source technologies for building, deploying, and hosting enterprise Java applications and services on a Web-scale compute infrastructure with virtually unlimited capacity and pay-as-you-go pricing. This new offering expands customer choice by providing users with access to a market-leading platform for innovative and scalable Java applications on the Amazon Web Services platform.


"The availability of JBoss Enterprise Application Platform on Amazon EC2 helps lower technology entry barriers to open source middleware while giving developers familiar solutions to use within the cloud," said Aaron Darcy, director (product marketing) at Red Hat.

JBoss Enterprise Application Platform is the second Red Hat solution to be offered through Amazon EC2. Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat's leading open source operating system, was made available on-demand in November 2007.

"Developers using Amazon Web Services are looking for both cost-effective and scalable computing power that reduces time to market," said Steve Rabuchin, director of developer relations and business development for Amazon Web Services, "With Red Hat Enterprise Linux and JBoss now supported on Amazon EC2, organizations can take advantage of a leading Java application server to build, deploy, and maintain enterprise-class applications."

JBoss Enterprise Application Platform integrates the most popular clustered Java EE application server with next-generation application frameworks. Built on open standards, it integrates JBoss Application Server with JBoss Hibernate, JBoss Seam, and other open source Java technologies from JBoss.org into a complete, simple enterprise solution for Java applications.
