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
Additional Solutions
Here are some companion solutions to the Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server Solution:
GlassFish and MySQL Unlimited
For a fixed price, which can result in huge savings, your entire organization gets unlimited GlassFish Enterprise Server and MySQL Enterprise Gold.
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.
