New Free Light-Weight Java Application Server Fills the Software Industry's Need For a Light-Weight Web Services Alternative.
Jul 6th, 17:15 UTC
ZeroPoint is pleased to announce the Release of their Free ZeroPoint Application Server (ZAppSvr) in step with very strong industry need for lighter weight application servers. ZAppSvr is a Java application server that comes with a fully integrated powerful Load Balancer. The result is an innovative framework for developing scalable web services from simple to complex.
ZAppSvr offers a powerful alternative to over-weight development systems that bog developers down with excessive overhead, clumsy tools, and long learning curves. Developers leverage their current Java skills to provide a much faster application that is less expensive to build, reduces hardware expenses, and provides a superior end user experience.
The developer is also free to use the data access tool of his choice. He could choose Hibernate (www.hibernate.org), ZCache (www.zeropoint.com) for higher performance, or just use straight JDBC database calls.
The fully integrated load balancing feature and dynamic HTML capabilities simplifies the creation of dynamic, scalable web sites and web services. Distributed applications are also easy to build and debug. Multiple internet connections can be combined to provide increased data bandwidth in a very cost effective way by using multiple DSL connections and/or multiple ISPs. Other benefits provided by ZAppSvr are web caching, specialized server designations, fast user authentication, request routing, and even customized firewalling which greatly reduces risk of malicious attacks and probes of the system.
