Enterprise Portal and Social Collaboration
Liferay is a leading provider of open source enterprise portal and social collaboration software. Liferay's history of delivering quality technology and a dedication to innovating for practical business application has earned wide industry recognition, including inclusion in two Gartner Magic Quadrants in 2008.
Sun and the OpenPortal community announced a new open source initiative with Liferay, Inc. to develop a common Web presentation platform that incorporates portal and integration technologies from both companies. Developers will have access to a new, stable, standards-based Web presentation platform. The Sun and Liferay products resulting from this initiative will bring developers simple, lightweight presentation capabilities for GlassFish.
“While we will continue to support all major servlet containers, we've seen a big increase in demand for Liferay Portal running on GlassFish — growing from one to 15% of our downloads — and we saw this as a great opportunity to work with Sun's GlassFish and OpenPortal communities to offer enterprises more choices, flexibility, and greater access to the latest technologies..”
— Brian Chan, Creator and Chief Software Architect, Liferay
