3. What is Middleware #1 You know operating systems:
Without them you would not be able to start a computer
It defines a set of interaction points between hardware and human beings
It helps you using the stuff
Middleware is being used as a central repository of applications
Strange? -- Yes!
Suppose you want to have all your employees using the same application to book their time
How to distribute this central application?
How to make sure each individual is using the right version of the application?
What about security? You know RH DirectoryServer as a central (middleware) service repository for credentials
Middleware and especially the Java / JEE based middleware helps you solving those problems
--> Better time to market
4. What is Middleware #2 In the past each developer did the necessary integration on his own
He would write a LDAP connector
He would write a Database connector
He would also take care on different database dialects
Oracle SQL != Microsoft SQL
How to connect to legacy systems?
With Java / JEE all those systems are encapsulated to the developer
He can now concentrate on the real business relevant stuff
Much better time to market
Time is money
Conclusion: Middleware helps your team to be more productive
5. What is middleware being used for? It's limited through your phantasie
Which means, everything is possible, examples:
Amazon.com
Google.com
yahoo.com
Ebay.com
6. JBoss Overview Founded:
EJBOSS project founded in 1999 by Marc Fleury
Acquired:
Red Hat acquired JBoss in June 2006
Red Hat acquired MetaMatrix in June 2007
Mission: Offer a comprehensive line of middleware products that enable Fortune 5000 organizations to accelerate their ability to develop, deploy, integrate and manage applications and composite applications across their extended enterprise.
7. Why customers choose JBoss? To understand that you need to think about other middleware vendors
IBM: WebSphere
BEA: WebLogic (now part of Oracle)?
Oracle: Fusion
SAP: Netweaver
Glassfish (open source, Sun)?
Geronimo (open source, Apache)?
Jboss is lightweight
The intention was always to have a solution from developers for developers
This means you don't have to wait 20 minutes until you see that your last change was wrong
We define standards
8. Products vs. Projects It's the same like with Fedora vs. RHEL
We have an open source space on www.jboss.org
There we work on the future of the project
There we try new stuff, we implement new standards before they are officially released
During productization we make the projects ready for the enterprise
We make heavy load tests
We are fixing bugs
We make them mature
Shortly: We do everything we can to be able to give support up to 5 years to a product
It is still open source!
You can download the source for the products (like with RHEL)?

10. Who's Using JBoss? <PRESENTATION>
As you can see, we have fortune 500 customers in many different verticals – all of whom are leveraging JBoss Enterprise Middleware. Our commitment to the outstanding software, high quality services and superior value is what earns us their business year after year.
It's also what has earned us a leading market share position with 37% of respondents to an independent survey using JBoss AS in production in their enterprise. And, it's earned us “leader” status in Gartner’s Enterprise Application Server Magic Quadrant 2 years running.
The bottom line is – JBoss Enterprise Middleware is enterprise-class, real world-tested, and ready for your heaviest workloads.

11. Enterprise-class Stability & Performance
12. Case Study: Increased ProductivityTeamBank AG TeamBank AG is a member of the DZ Bank Group. In 2006, TeamBank achieved revenues of 4.4 billion euros, making it one of the most successful consumer credit banks in Germany. Much of the bank’s growth can be attributed to easyCredit, an online credit approval application. Today, TeamBank sells easyCredit through 910 partner banks and is branching out to the rest of Europe.
Challenge:
Needed to migrate easyCredit off Microsoft ASP in order to dramatically scale the application without incurring additional licensing costs. The new easyCredit needed to accommodate concurrent automated credit decisions and handle up to 100,000 parallel transactions.
Solution:
JBoss Application Server
16 online Servers, 2 batch servers.
Results:
9 months from requirements to real money transfers.
System has been running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week since deployment.
No significant performance loss after integrating a further 785 financial institutions with about 11,200 agencies and 31,000 registered users.TeamBank AG is a member of the DZ Bank Group.
