Applications Servers (BEA Systems, IBM Websphere) |
|
The LeanApps business components are deployed on an application server. An application server is software which implements a set of open standards within which business components are deployed. The Application server provides a set of supporting functionalities such as security, data management, optimal utilisation of the computer’s resources (load balancing) etc. The LeanApps business components can work on all application servers which adhere to the EJB 2.0 standard, two leading providers of which are WebLogic from BEA Systems and WebSphere from IBM. Tremendous scalability can be obtained by implementing the application server software on diverse hardware platforms and simultaneously deploying several application servers to work in tandem (clustering). This ensures perfect tuning between the business processes load and the deployed hardware.
