Sun GlassFish Communications Server is a Java EE technology-based converged communications application server for developing IP-based multimedia applications. It combines enterprise Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Web services capabilities with Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) servlets.

Based on Project SailFin, the Sun GlassFish Communications Server provides an enterprise and carrier-ready platform for converged applications. It supports SIP Servlet specifics 1.0 and 1.1 and is compliant with JSR 116 and JSR 289. The open standards supported by GlassFish Communications Server facilitate easy development of portable SIP applications on a carrier-grade deployment platform.

GlassFish Communications Server can be used to create a range of simple to complex interactive applications with communications capabilities. With a modular framework built on the top of GlassFish Enterprise Server, GlassFish Communications Server can be used by independent software vendors and network equipment providers looking to create value-added services like presence, IP centrex, IPTV, etc. Carriers deploying GlassFish Communications Server within their service delivery platforms will benefit from high performance and clustering support the platform provides.
