4. 4 Why Open Source Software (OSS)? No up-front acquisition costs Lightweight and frictionless access Access rapid OSS innovations Community support Transparency Flexibility and easy to customize Requires tested, documented, supported and integrated platform Requires stable code base with regular maintenance releases Needs 24x7 technical Support for production deployment Potential legal risks of open source Benefits from OSS: Challenges with OSS adoption: Bottom line, customers still need the basics: technical support, production-ready releases, with open source risks mitigated.

26. 26 Positioning WebSphere Family with other OSS alternatives Tomcat

27. 27 What is Tomcat? Previous version was Tomcat 5.5.x (2.4/2.0 based on J2EE 1.4 specs) Current version is Tomcat 6.0.1x (2.5 servlet/2.1 JSP based on JEE5 specs) Low cost, light-weight solution for building basic Web applications that only require Servlets and JSPs  No JMS, Web services, EJBs, etc. Apache open source project Free download Very mature, lots of customers using Tomcat today  http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/PoweredBy http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/PoweredBy Most customers using Tomcat without official support  Support internally and rely on the open source community

28. 28 Today – With Tomcat plus ‘other stuff’ you do yourself 1. Your developers have a job to do – write your killer app! 2. They chose Apache Tomcat because it helps them build apps quickly 3. But Tomcat doesn’t have web services support, a security framework, or messaging; so your developers added those components and integrated them into the stack 4. Then your rock star developer wrote some app-specific service and integrated that into the stack 5. Turns out your app needs clustering too, so they throw that into the stack 6. …but the web services component they got doesn’t do clustering; luckily there’s a newer version of that out now, so they get the new version and integrate THAT into the stack 7. Now your staff is maintaining your killer app, Apache Tomcat, the web services component, messaging, security, clustering, AND your custom components Apache Tomcat Your Killer App SOAP/Web Services (Axis) JMS Messaging Security / Authentication Web Tier Clustering Other services you need/write Custom Integration SOAP/Web Services (Axis) Developers maintain all this! build apps quickly…? What happened to building apps quickly??

29. 29 WebSphere Application Server Community Edition ‘Tomcat Plus’ All the benefits of the open-source Apache Geronimo kernel Plus all the same Apache Tomcat you’re already using Plus the leading components you want to use pre-integrated and tested (and the ability to turn off what you aren’t using) Plus the support you need from IBM (supported, tested and certified) …so you can focus on solving your business problem Your Killer App IBM WebSphere Application Server Community Edition Apache Tomcat SOAP/Web Services (Axis) JMS Messaging Security / Authentication Web Tier Clustering Other Optional Plug-ins for EJBs, Transactions, etc. Geronimo Plug-In Kernel Fully Integrated & Extensible Kernel Services
