Oracle Application Server 10g goes production

What is it?

Oracle Application Server 10g is a comprehensive platform which ISVs can use to build, integrate, deploy and manage web-based enterprise applications. It can handle high throughput and can scale as demand increases.

Oracle Application Server 10g offers the industry's fastest, most complete and integrated J2EE - certified application server. Oracle Application Server has revolutionised the fast growing application server market by being first to integrate all the technology to deploy e-business portals, transactional applications, and Web services in a single product.

The product has advanced self-management features, which eliminates the majority of human errors and reduces system downtime. It also provides a complete identity management infrastructure, enabling intelligent, centralised user management. It is also designed to interoperate with non-Oracle infrastructure.

Why is this so significant?

The speed and unpredictability of business cycles have pushed many enterprises to the limit of manageability. Organisations need to become more responsive but often their information systems and business applications are slow to respond.

To compensate, IT departments build costly infrastructure, monolithic applications and non-optimised business processes designed with excess capacity and redundancy to deal with any contingency and point applications. To address these challenges, Oracle Corporation has introduced the industry's first application development framework comprising both tools and infrastructure software, and specifically designed for the next generation of computing enterprise grids.

Oracle Application Server 10g has been specifically designed to build and run enterprise applications on computing grids. It includes a comprehensive toolset (Oracle JDeveloper 10g) to build or enable existing applications to run on grids, and it is designed to run enterprise applications on pools of low cost servers and storage with very high performance, scalability, and availability while radically reducing the costs of systems and applications monitoring and management.
