Sun Microsystems Is A Strong Performer In Application Server Platforms

The Forrester Wave™ Vendor Summary, Q3 2007

by John R. Rymer

with Mike Gilpin, Larry Fulton, Randy Heffner, Jacqueline Stone

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

What a difference 18 months makes. Sun Microsystems trailed the field in our 2004 evaluation of application server platforms and is a solid Strong Performer in this year's evaluation. Sun's platform grew substantially with its acquisition of SeeBeyond, and the company has spent about a year integrating those products with its Java Enterprise System (ES) modules. The SeeBeyond products, now called the Sun Java Composite Application Platform Suite (CAPS), provide very strong SOA, integration, and business process management (BPM) features relative to the competition. Sun's platform products don't yet have the "extreme battle testing" of IBM and BEA Systems, with the exception of its Web and Directory Servers.
