11 Advantages of the Enterprise Model 11

12 JBoss Community & JBoss Enterprise Targeting Different Users & Use Cases Enterprise Community l Community for developing open source middleware; focus on release early, release often l Use case driven platforms that integrate multiple l By developers, for developers l l 150+ projects with different release schedules, dependencies, versions etc. Target corporate developers, enterprise architects & IT Operations l l Community support focuses on current release only (e.g. no patches) & available via public forums, wikis, public issue trackers, etc. Product focus on long- term stability & application application compatibility l l Ideal for eperimental starter projects & early proof of concepts; not recommended for production use Up to 247 enterprise support for mission critical applications & backed by a global network of Red Hat partners l Ideally suited for long-term enterprise production use projects into a single distribution JBoss Enterprise is the best of both worlds: open source innovation with enterprise-class stability 12

13 JBoss Enterprise Product Delivery Model Eample: JBoss Community AS & JBoss EAP JBoss Community AS JBoss EAP 5 Full Support (4yrs) 6 Transition (1yr) Maintenance (2yr) Enterprise versions provide long-term support, regular releases including fies, new features, and new platforms certifications. 7 JBoss EAP 6 Full Support (4yrs) Community project releases are not maintained and never productized New community features may be backported to Enterprise versions 8 9 While community projects continue to rapidly evolve, enterprise middleware products focus on long term stability Transition (1yr)

14 JBoss Community & Enterprise Changes Community / Enterprise Platform Delta 04/09 10/09 04/10 10/10 JBoss AS Over 140 defect fies & 60 OS/JVM/DB certifications (& counting) between JBoss AS Community 5.1 & JBoss EAP JBoss EAP bug fies 11 perf. enhancements 60 additional certs. 4 new features bug fies 4 security fies 2 additional certs bug fies 8 perf. enhancements 6 security fies 3 new features Enterprise Platforms - Performance, Scalability, Security and Quality improve over time without compromising long-term compatibility. 14

31 The JBoss Development Model A Brief Overview Red Hat provides JBoss software in two forms: We start with JBoss Community projects... Innovative, fast moving, freely available open source projects targeted at developers Ideal for eperimentation and eploring early feature capabilities; not intended for production use Led by a strong community of JBoss engineers, customers, partners, & users A subset of these projects represent the upstream of future enterprise products... and from these, deliver JBoss Enterprise Middleware products Enterprise open source middleware, targeted specifically for mission critical production use JBoss Enterprise Products integrate multiple community projects from various open source communities (JBoss, Apache, Eclipse, etc.) Products are tested & certified, have a defined longterm product life cycle, and are fully backed by a Red Hat subscription Each JBoss Enterprise product is supported by a large partner ecosystem of ISVs, System Integrators and Software Resellers For production use, Red Hat only recommends using JBoss Enterprise Middleware products. 31
