Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server Solution

Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server Solution - Overview Bigtop

The GlassFish Enterprise Server software thrives on Sun's Chip Multithreading (CMT) servers, which apply massive multithreading and 10 Gigabit Ethernet to the task of application serving, an inherently multithreaded, high-volume workload.


The Open Source GlassFish Application Server

GlassFish software code is distributed free of charge under the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL) license, approved by the Open Source Initiative (OSI). CDDL allows you to view, use, edit, and alter the code, as well as to distribute and use the code in production, all for free.

GlassFish enables developers to create and deploy feature-rich applications in less time:

  • A developer profile configures Sun Enterprise Server for reduced memory footprint and a fast startup, which makes everyday use of laptops a natural fit
  • Auto-deploy features simplify round-trip development
  • Includes native support of popular IDEs such as Eclipse and NetBeans
  • The GlassFish Update Center offers quick access to new technologies such as Open ESB, jMaki, and jRuby, as well as additional samples and documentation

Sun Servers with CoolThreads Technology

In one move, you can migrate your application serving onto the industry's only 64-thread server-on-a-chip systems. You'll increase throughput while reducing datacenter costs, space, and power consumption.

Sun's Chip Multithreading (CMT) servers with CoolThreads technology are based on the UltraSPARC T1, T2 and T2 Plus processors. They deliver up to eight cores and 64 simultaneous execution threads on a single chip. And Sun's most recent dual-socket servers with CoolThreads technology, based on the new UltraSPARC T2 Plus processor, deliver an incredible 128 threads in a single 1RU box. It's a breakthrough family of virtualized servers that "Scale More with Less" for the network economy.
