Sun Intros GlassFish Portfolio
Filed in archive Application Development on February 28, 2009

Sun Microsystems this month released the Sun GlassFish Porfolio, a complete Web application platform based on GlassFish.
"With an integrated AMP stack that works alongside Java, Sun's new GlassFish Portfolio aims to help the company extend beyond its core Java application server base to provide a true middle layer for running enterprise applications," writes InternetNews' Sean Michael Kerner. "The release comes as competition from middleware players like Red Hat's JBoss and IBM Websphere continues to mount."
"It includes the GlassFish Application Server, a piece of middleware that manages high-volume requests for application services and connects an application to outside resources, such as databases," writes InformationWeek's Charles Babcock. "In addition, it includes the GlassFish Web Stack, made up of the Apache Foundation's Tomcat, a lightweight server for executing Java commands or Servlets on a Web server; Memcached, a system used by YouTube and others for distributing data across multiple Web servers; Squid, a proxy server that captures and caches repeated requests; and Lighttpd, a secure, high-speed Web server."
