Benefits of the Sun Java System Web Server Software

The combination of the software plus the server results in a secure solution. This high-performance and reliable solution is a suitable platform for Web applications, including JavaTM Servlet and JavaServer PagesTM (JSPTM) technologies, Active Server Pages, ColdFusion, CGI and PHP.

It supports Linux and the SolarisTM Operating System (Solaris OS).

The Sun Java System Web Server is proven secure, with significantly fewer vulnerabilities than either Microsoft IIS or Apache (CERT).

The Sun Java System Web Server has been SSL validated to FIPS-140-1 Level 2, making it a secure choice for deployment by government agencies.

One of the features of the Sun Java System Web Server product is its reverse proxy plug-in which converts the Sun Java System Web Server into an intermediary Web server that accepts HTTP requests for other Web content servers (e.g., other Sun Java System Web Servers) that may or may not be directly accessible from the outside network. This provides an additional layer of security between the public Internet and Web servers, which helps to minimize network exposure.

The Sun Java System Web Server product has a multi-process, multi-threaded architecture that is combined with a highly scalable keep-alive subsystem, HTTP compression, content filters, and optimized caching. This maintains optimal site performance even under peak loads for both in- house and third party applications.
