Key new features in the Sun GlassFish Communications Server 2.0 include Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) session replication, rolling upgrade and Diameter support. The open source telco-grade application server expands platform support to include AIX 6.1 with IBM JDK 6 in this release. Based on the latest version of the Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server 2.1.1, Communications Server 2.0 offers a scalable, standards-based platform aimed at simplifying development of value-added applications and services such as: VoIP, IPTV, virtual PBX, and fixed mobile convergence.

Sun GlassFish Communications Server is a Java EE technology-based converged application server combining enterprise service-oriented architecture (SOA) and Web services capabilities with SIP servlets. Developed in open source as part of Project Sailfin, the open-source version of the GlassFish Communications Server software has been downloaded more than 50,000 times in the past 12 months, Sun reports. Customers and developers looking to create new SIP services can also participate in Project SailFin CAFE, a sub-project of Sailfin, which was created to help simplify the development of converged applications.

"For the past two years, we've been working with customers and a great developer community to make the GlassFish Communications Server one of the best high performance, standards-based Java EE and SIP convergence platforms available today," said Mark Herring, vice president of Software Infrastructure Marketing, Sun. "With the new software, customers will be able to more easily build enterprise applications with integrated communications capabilities, and drive new revenue opportunities."

Of the media and communications companies using GlassFish Communications Server, Malden Labs CEO Mike Welzer shares, "We chose the GlassFish Communications Server and the Sun software stack for its rich standard support, high performance and scalability to build our convergence solution. "Sun's commitment to delivering high quality software developed in open source and backed with enterprise support allowed us to easily embrace this innovative platform and meet our customer needs."
