Latest version of Red Hat's Java EE application
platform and expanded subscription flexibility help organizations
accelerate DevOps initiatives in traditional on-premise and PaaS
environments, including OpenShift by Red Hat
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced Red Hat JBoss Enterprise
Application Platform (JBoss EAP) 6.4 and introduced expanded
benefits for JBoss EAP subscribers deploying their Java
applications in hybrid cloud environments.
Enterprises are under pressure to deliver new applications fast;
however, many factors, including rigid proprietary stacks,
inflexible licensing agreements, and cultural silos in IT can
prevent enterprises from achieving the agility they need to stay
competitive. Enterprises are increasingly implementing DevOps
methodologies, and technologies that complement them, to break down
siloed communications between development and operations teams and
accelerate application development and delivery. As DevOps adoption
increases, so does the demand for technologies that complement
DevOps methodologies and enable high productivity of developers and
operations teams working closely together.
“Although DevOps emphasizes people (and culture) over tools and
processes, implementation utilizes technology. As a result,
Gartner, Inc. expects strong growth opportunities for DevOps
toolsets, with the total for DevOps tools reaching $2.3 billion in
2015, up 21.1 percent from $1.9 billion in 2014. By 2016, DevOps
will evolve from a niche strategy employed by large cloud providers
to a mainstream strategy employed by 25 percent of Global 2000
organizations.”1
Red Hat is committed to helping enterprises get more out of
their technology by allowing for greater freedom of choice. JBoss
EAP supports a broad range of third-party frameworks, operating
systems, databases, security, and identity systems to make
integration into existing infrastructure easier. In addition, new
subscription flexibility expands support for customers deploying
JBoss EAP across multiple environments based on their individual
needs and business requirements, including on-premise, in a
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) environment, or in hybrid cloud
scenarios.
Additional enhancements introduced in JBoss EAP 6.4 include:
- Support for Java 8 applications, as
well as for the Java API WebSockets implementation protocol, JSR
356, enabling developers to build real-time, rich client and
mobile applications with reduced overhead and complexity.
- Expanded JBoss EAP console and Red
Hat Customer Portal integration, giving users direct access to
the Red Hat Customer Portal, including the ability to receive
support, open and manage tickets, and access the knowledge
base.
- New console functionality with an
updated user interface enabling users to view log files more
easily and manage security configuration for applications.
- Kerberos authorization for
greater application security.
As one of the only open source application platforms that
commercially supports Java EE applications deployed in PaaS
environments, JBoss EAP deployed on OpenShift provides developers
with a fully certified Java EE 6 container and all the tools needed
to build, run, and manage a wide range of Java applications. The
combination of JBoss EAP and OpenShift Enterprise helps enterprises
to optimize both development and operations by offering the ability
to build enterprise-grade Java applications in a streamlined PaaS
environment more quickly.
JBoss EAP is available for download by members of the JBoss
Developer community. Current customers can get the latest updates
from the Red Hat Customer Portal.
Supporting Quotes
Mike Piech, general manager, Middleware, Red Hat
“We see enterprise IT moving on a clear path toward implementing
initiatives such as DevOps methodologies and two-track IT. The
inherent flexibility of JBoss EAP allows it to act as a versatile
foundation on which organizations can build both sides of their IT
organization, prioritizing both agility and stability, and combat
inefficiencies as they bring products to market by fostering
greater collaboration between the development and operations
teams.”
Gartner, Inc.
“DevOps-ready tools have seen and will continue to see the
largest growth potential. These tools are specifically designed and
built with out-of-the-box functionality to support the described
DevOps characteristics and traits. Most DevOps-enabled and -capable
tools currently exist as part of the larger IT operation and
development toolbox; however, with time to value as a critical
demand factor from clients, emphasis in support of DevOps has
transformed how these tools are positioned and perceived in the
marketplace.”2
