Want to eliminate vendor lock-in by leveraging GlassFish, the open
source Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) reference
implementation? Do you need to take advantage of
record-setting performance, 5 9's of availability, centralized
administration, and .NET 3.0 interoperability? IBM WebSphere, Red
Hat JBoss, BEA WebLogic, and Tomcat users, consider the
alternative! Sun Java System Application Servers - upgrade now!
Quickly and easily migrate or upgrade to GlassFish with the
GlassFish Migration and Upgrade Program. The program provides the
resources necessary for a smooth migration:
A selection of tools that:
Verify Java EE applications for standards conformance and portability
Help with migrations from other Java EE application servers to GlassFish
Aid in upgrading from versions prior to GlassFish, including
Sun Java System Application Server, Sun ONE Application Server,
and iPlanet Application Server
Are you writing portable Java EE applications? Want to be
sure? Make GlassFish Verifier, a de-facto tool in your
development practice. GlassFish verifier tool is part of
the GlassFish distribution and can be found in
<glassfish-install>/bin tree.
Use the GlassFish Verifier as a first step to test your
applications for portability. The tool helps developers
test their applications for correct use of J2EE APIs and
portability across J2EE compatible application servers, and
to help developers avoid inadvertently writing non-portable
code.
Sun Client Solutions offers two starter GlassFish Migration
Assessment Services:
Sun GlassFish Getting Started Workshop is a
service engagement conducted by expert Sun architects to
educate customers about Open Web Application Based Platform
(GlassFish), why they should be interested in it, and what
impact implementing a GlassFish based platform will have on
their businesses. The workshop uses an interactive,
team-based approach (chalk talk) involving all key
stakeholders to identify, weigh, and prioritize the GlassFish
drivers and derives areas of immediate improvement supported
by investment justification.
Sun GlassFish Architecture Migration Assessment is a service engagement conducted by expert Sun
architects to analyze a customer's Open Web Application Based
Platform (GlassFish) readiness across four dimensions -
People, Process, Practices and Platform. The assessment helps
customers validate their GlassFish initiatives, practices,
and platform choices. Through collaborative team-based
interviews with business and technical subject matter
experts, the following areas are analyzed:
Currently Implemented Web Application Services Solution
Architecture
People (Skills, Organization Strategy, and Governance),
Process, Practices
Worskhop review of business drivers & priorities
Application Level complexities
Identify product(s) required for a target solution
Impact Analysis - Assess and mitigate the risk of the
migration
Evaluate the Readiness and make pre-migration
recommendations
Define a GlassFish migration road-map & approach
recommendations, target GlassFish based architecture and
migration level of effort estimates
The output from the Assessment Service would be a custom
Migration Service. Sun Client Solutions also will perform the
actual end to end migration if requested.
