Posted on: Tuesday, 8 July 2003, 06:00 CDT

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 8, 2003--

Industry's Most Popular Java-Based, Open Source JBoss Server Featured in Mac OS X 'Panther' Server

JBoss Group LLC, provider of the most popular Java-based application server, today announced that it will be offering professional support services to customers using Mac OS X version 10.3 'Panther' Server, which features the open source JBoss(R) application server. Specifically, JBoss Group will offer a full range of enterprise-level services, including support, training and consulting services.

With support services for Panther Server, JBoss is now available on more operating systems and hardware platforms than any other application server available today, providing customers with maximum flexibility in their choice of platforms and application infrastructure. Independent software vendors (ISVs) also benefit from the broad range of platforms that their customers can choose when deploying the JBoss application server.

"Apple's decision to embed the JBoss server continues a trend in which many of the leading hardware, OS and software vendors are bundling our core technology," said Marc Fleury, president and founder of JBoss Group. "JBoss is becoming the default standard for building enterprise web applications because of its robust features, rock-solid stability, high quality and the services available from JBoss Group, such as the ability to provide enterprise customers with 24 X 7 support."

"Apple is committed to providing an innovative and powerful UNIX-based server operating system that makes it extremely easy to deploy open source solutions for Mac, Windows and Linux clients," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of worldwide developer relations. "The addition of the JBoss application server enables Panther Server to run powerful J2EE applications."

The new Panther Server incorporates the JBoss application server for running J2EE-based applications, including Enterprise Java Bean components (see related press release at http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2003/jun/23server.html). Panther Server also features new deployment tools with a graphical user interface to configure existing J2EE applications for hosting on Mac OS X Server.
