Product details

Build, run, and manage on a more efficient platform

Flexible manageability

With JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6, your enterprise can programmatically manage applications, automate processes as you build, or integrate with your own management tools. And you can work seamlessly in your private cloud. It also provides domain management, which helps administrators manage multiple servers as 1 and support rolling deployments within the domain.

Highly efficient

JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 has been optimized to work with both multicore and virtual environments for an extremely low-memory footprint and blazingly fast startup times. And we've focused more on resource usage and port management, simplifying the effort needed to deploy into virtualized environments.

Upgraded JBoss Community components

JBoss Enterprise Application Platform includes many new and upgraded components from our community projects to enhance the developer experience, including:

  • New versions of JBoss Hibernate®.
  • Arquillian, a powerful platform that simplifies integration testing for Java middleware.

Flexible, future-friendly subscription model

What good is a cloud-ready application server if it requires a costly licensing migration to reap its value? The Red Hat subscription model not only takes upfront licensing out of the equation, it also gives you more flexibility as your architecture changes.

Want to deploy in a public cloud like Amazon Web Services? No problem. Want to implement virtualization or run on a portion of your hardware architecture? We can do that. It's all part of the Red Hat subscription model.
