作為一款Java程序服務(wù)器,WebLogic Server 12c將成為Oracle公司Exalogic應(yīng)用程序服務(wù)器設(shè)備的主力。
根據(jù)Oracle公司官網(wǎng)的信息,該公司計劃于12月1日的一場在線活動中發(fā)布其旗艦性應(yīng)用程序服務(wù)器WebLogic的最新版本。
在WebLogic Server 12c中,字母“C”是“cloud”(即云服務(wù))的縮寫。該版本將替代上于2009年七月發(fā)布的上一個版本W(wǎng)ebLogic Server11g。
“現(xiàn)在許多企業(yè)都希望使用云設(shè)備”,Oracle在其網(wǎng)站上的一份聲明中表示。“但為了處理現(xiàn)有的業(yè)務(wù),IT業(yè)者仍需要使用現(xiàn)有設(shè)備并為它們投資。有了Oracle WebLogic,我們可以使你在這兩方面都游刃有余。”
WebLogic 12c將成為Oracle的Exalogic應(yīng)用程序管理器設(shè)備中的主力,目前Exadata數(shù)據(jù)庫設(shè)備以及其最新發(fā)布的公共云服務(wù)在此領(lǐng)域占主導(dǎo)地位。
通過Exalogic以及基于WebLogic的云服務(wù),用戶可以打造自己的私人云客戶端,并輕松地轉(zhuǎn)移應(yīng)用程序。
WebLogic 12c包含了許多新特性,包括Java EE6,Active GridLink for RAC(Real Application Clusters),,Traffic Director以及Virtual Assembly Builder等。
現(xiàn)有的高端WebLogic 套裝的售價為每個處理器45,000美元,此外每年有9,900美元的技術(shù)支持費。目前還不清楚Oracle 是否會提高WebLogic 12c的售價。
WebLogic 12c會面臨許多其它Java應(yīng)用服務(wù)器的競爭,包括Red Hat的JBoss以及IBM的WebSphere,甚至還有Oracle自己的GlassFish。GlassFish是Oracle通過收購Sun Microsystem得到的。
GlassFish每個處理器收費5,000美元,此外每年還有1,100美元的維護費用,大約相當于WebLogic Server標準版費用的一半。此外GlassFish還有免費的社區(qū)支持版本。
The Java app server will be key to Oracle's Exalogic application server appliance.
Oracle is planning to announce the next version of its flagship WebLogic application server during an online event Dec. 1, according to information on the company's website.
WebLogic Server 12c, in which the 'C' appears to be shorthand for "cloud," will succeed version 11g, which was first released in July 2009
"Today most businesses have the ambition to move to a cloud infrastructure," Oracle said in a statement on its site. "However, IT needs to maintain and invest in their current infrastructure for supporting today's business. With Oracle WebLogic ... we provide you with the best of both worlds."
WebLogic 12c will be key to Oracle's Exalogic application server appliance, which has so far been overshadowed by the Exadata database machine, as well as its recently announced public cloud service.
Customers will be able to build out private clouds with Exalogic as well as use Oracle's WebLogic-based public cloud service, while easily moving the applications back and forth, according to Oracle.
Features of WebLogic 12c include Java EE 6, Active GridLink for RAC (Real Application Clusters), Traffic Director, and Virtual Assembly Builder, Oracle said.
Current pricing for the high-end WebLogic Suite is $45,000 per processor, plus $9,900 in annual support. It wasn't immediately clear whether Oracle will institute a price increase upon 12c's release.
WebLogic 12c will compete with a variety of other Java application servers, including Red Hat's JBoss and IBM's WebSphere, as well as Oracle's own GlassFish, which was acquired through the purchase of Sun Microsystems.
GlassFish costs $5,000 per processor along with $1,100 in yearly maintenance fees, or about half as much as WebLogic Server Standard Edition. There is also a community-supported version of GlassFish available at no charge.
