Red Hat Delivers JBoss EAP 7, a Foundation for Hybrid Cloud Applications
RED HAT SUMMIT 2016 - Red Hat (News - Alert), Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's
leading provider of open source solutions, today announced the general
availability of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7 (JBoss
EAP), the leading open source Java EE 7 compliant application server,
and introduced JBoss Core Services Collection, a set of technologies
that provide customers with common and fundamental application
components. With JBoss EAP 7, Red Hat aims to help enterprises use and
extend their existing application investments as they begin to
transition to emerging architectures and programming paradigms that will
require a lightweight, highly modular, cloud-native platform.
JBoss
EAP 7 combines the widely deployed Java EE 7 APIs with the latest
technologies supporting DevOps development practices, such as Red Hat's
award-winning integrated development environment (IDE), JBoss Developer
Studio-which can be used at no cost by members of the JBoss or Red Hat
Developer communities to build, test, and deploy applications on-premise
or in the cloud-as well as Jenkins, Arquillian, Maven, and support for a
number of popular Web and JavaScript frameworks. Its lightweight nature
and small footprint make JBoss EAP 7 a versatile choice suitable for
enterprises building either traditional applications or more modular,
microservices-style applications.
JBoss EAP 7 has been optimized for cloud environments, and when deployed
with Red Hat OpenShift, offers the benefits of containers, load
balancing, elastic scaling, health monitoring, and the ability to deploy
to a container directly from the IDE which can improve developer
productivity and experience. In addition, JBoss EAP with OpenShift
contributes to a more architecturally efficient DevOps environment since
overlapping features are no longer needed. This DevOps efficiency can be
compounded when using additional middleware components on OpenShift.
Core Services Collection
JBoss
Core Services Collection provides common foundational building
blocks for enterprise applications, such as Web single sign-on, HTTP
load balancing, and proxying, as well as management and monitoring
capabilities for applications and services. Included as part of a Red
Hat JBoss Middleware subscription at no additional charge, Red Hat
customers receive full online and phone support, updates, patches, and
security fixes for each component version.
Technologies currently receiving full support entitlements in JBoss Core
Services Collection include Red
Hat JBoss Operations Network, which provides a centralized
management point for all Red Hat JBoss Middleware products, Apache HTTP
server, connectors for IIS and iPlanet web servers, Apache Commons Jsvc,
and a single sign-on server based on the JBoss Keycloak
project.
JBoss EAP 7 partner ecosystem
This year, Red
Hat became the world's first open source company to earn over two
billion dollars in revenue, a feat supported in part by Red Hat's
partner ecosystem made up of independent software vendors (ISVs), global
and regional systems integrators (SIs), and value-added resellers
(VARs), in addition to an extensive channel of original equipment
manufacturer (OEM), distributor, and reseller partners.
The launch of JBoss EAP 7 marks a new milestone for Red Hat and extends
its product portfolio even further for partners, reinforcing the
application platform as a foundation for hybrid cloud applications, and
illuminating a path forward to a future defined by new application
approaches such as containers and microservices architectures.
Proven pedigree
June 2016 marks the 10th anniversary of Red
Hat's formal entry into the enterprise application development market
with its second-largest acquisition to-date: JBoss. The technology that
would become JBoss EAP was at the center of this acquisition, and has
not only helped power Red Hat's rise to become a global open source
leader, but also paved the way for open
source to become a de facto standard for innovation in enterprise
computing.
Today, JBoss EAP continues to be the cornerstone of Red Hat's focus on
and commitment to enterprise application development, and serves as the
foundation for Red
Hat's portfolio of lightweight, container- and cloud-friendly middleware
products used by leading organizations around the world, such as
Amadeus, American Product Distributors, and TMG Health, to create,
integrate, deploy, and manage business-critical applications.
Since entering the application development market 10 years ago, Red Hat
has expanded to more than 15 application development products and
offerings, including its award-winning container application platform,
OpenShift, Red Hat Mobile Application Platform, and the Red Hat
Developer program, which have enabled Red Hat to become a true
alternative for developers seeking a lightweight, flexible, open source
application development platform.
Availability
JBoss
EAP is available for download by members of the Red
Hat Developers community. Customers can get the latest updates from
the Red
Hat Customer Portal.
Supporting Quotes
Mike Piech, vice president and general manager, Middleware, Red Hat
"Organizations should be able to choose when and how they move to new
architectures and programming paradigms. This freedom is a hallmark of
open source, and something we embrace at Red Hat. With JBoss EAP 7, we
are addressing the needs of both enterprise IT and developers with a
balanced vision designed to bridge the reality of building and
maintaining a business today with the aspiration of IT innovation
tomorrow."
Susan Wood, Middleware and Linux Engineering Services, Swisscom AG (News - Alert)
"We have been using JBoss EAP since 2012 to support various core
business applications, and prefer it for critical environments over any
other enterprise application server due to its open source base and the
excellent commercial support provided by Red Hat. We are enthusiastic
about the stability, performance, and ease-of-use of the platform, as
well as its simple implementation into our existing Red Hat Enterprise
Linux system environment, which have been well-received by numerous
teams within Swisscom."
Masahiko Iwata, general manager, NTT (News - Alert) Open Source Software Center,
Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation
"NTT OSS Center has been committed to using open source for mission
critical infrastructure systems within NTT Group for a long time. As a
member of the open source community, and a user with JBoss EAP currently
deployed across multiple systems, we have collaborated with Red Hat for
a number of years to help improve the functions and quality of the
application server technology. We are excited about the release of JBoss
EAP 7, now compliant with Java EE 7, and look forward to continuing our
work with Red Hat in the future."
Stephen O'Grady, principal analyst, RedMonk
"With enterprise appetites for containers, clouds and microservices
among enterprise Java EE customers on the rise, it is imperative that
vendors look to offer them and the developers they employ the tools they
need to bridge from today to tomorrow. This is a major area of focus for
Red Hat with its JBoss EAP 7 release."
