Abstract:
The use of Open Source Software Application Servers is increasing across many organisations whether as a result of a strategy decision or through adoption by developers. This session will articulate IBM's contribution and use of open source software and will explore a functional comparison between WAS, Tomcat, tc Server & JBoss. We will also discuss a number of aspects that are often not included when considering the 'low cost' option of open source software; what is the true Total Cost of Ownership?
