(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
RDATE:23072008
PORTLAND, OR OSCON , Sun Microsystems, Inc.-- (Nasdaq: JAVA), today
announced the availability of the Sun Web Stack, a fully supported and
integrated enterprise-quality AMP (Apache/MySQL/Perl or PHP) stack for
Solaris and Linux operating systems. The Web Stack software includes
the open source, standards-based software most commonly used for
Web-tier application development and services. Download the Web Stack
at http://www.sun.com/webstack.
Sun also announced that it is open sourcing the core components of the
Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 and Sun Java System Web Proxy
technologies under a BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) license in
the Web Stack sub-project of the OpenSolaris community. The Web and
Proxy source code will be available in CY08Q3.
"By open sourcing the core technology in our Web and Proxy server,
Sun's goal is to give developers more flexibility, choice and help them
achieve faster time to market," said Karen Tegan Padir, vice president
of engineering, Software Infrastructure, Sun Microsystems. "Through
Sun's enterprise-grade Web software Stack and Sun's Web and Proxy
servers, enterprises and developers now have the option to standardize
their development and production environments on open source
technology."
"Sun's release of their Web and Proxy server code with a BSD license is
proof of their involvement and commitment to open source. I am quite
excited by the opportunities and possibilities that this provides, both
as an Open Source community member, but also as a director, member and
developer within the Apache Software Foundation," said Jim Jagielski.
About the Web Stack
Sun will provide product version control for its supported Web Stack
across multiple operating systems so that applications developed for
one operating system can be deployed on another with minimal changes.
That means developers will have some of the latest and most complete
technology solutions that the open source community has to offer.
Enterprise support is planned to be available for Solaris in CY08Q3,
Linux (LAMP) support in CY08Q4 with Windows and other OS support to
follow.
The Web stack consists of Web and proxy servers, scripting languages
and a database that enables developers to deploy Web applications
quickly and easily. The primary components in the Web Stack include
(partial list) the Apache HTTP Web server version 2.2.8, Apache Modules
Memcached 1.2.5 (distributed memory object system), MySQL 5.1 Database,
lighttpd Web server v 1.4.18, Tomcat Servlet engine 6.0.16, PHP 5.2.5,
