Middleware

Trend

The middleware server used most in the global market is an open source product.

• 
  Middleware market led by open source
  Web Application Server (WAS), a representative middleware server, has developed technology along with open source, and 90% of middleware in the global market are open source products. Based on Java EE standards and active communities, open source WAS is leading the latest technology.
• 
  Support for cloud environment
  Open source WAS supports various cloud environments and has a flexible and lightweight architecture, especially for PaaS. It is one of the most widely deployed application software in cloud environment with excellent compatibility and efficiency.
• 
  Support for the latest Java EE 8 standard
  WAS is developed based on the Java EE standard, and Jboss EAP and the open source version Wildfly (Jboss AS) received the latest Java EE 8 certification. In particular, the first Java EE 8 certified product released in the world is Wildfly, which is based on open source.

Customer Case

Challenges
The groupware (400,000 users with 24/7 global service) system of company A was operating commercial middleware products. New architecture was required to reduce the TCO of aging systems, to solve End of Life (EOL) issues, and to respond flexibly and stably to large amount of traffic. The transition of the container environment to open source middleware satisfied the requirements of all services, which is the largest case of application in Korea.

S-Core Services
We designed a system for high availability and high efficiency based on open source technical skills and cloud architect capabilities. By introducing container technology, we achieved infrastructure scalability, cost reduction, and efficiency in development and operation, and built a system with high stability and compatibility by using the latest standard technology open source middleware.

Effects
Company A gained the following values by converting and building groupware into an open source middleware system.

Quantitative effect
– Reduced total TCO by using container environment and open source software

Qualitative effect
– Achieved service stability and efficiency in development and operation.
