Dynamic Application Management iPlanet Application Server's architecture allows partitioned applications to run even if one or more servers fail. In a load-balanced server configuration, application logic can be replicated on multiple servers. If a server fails, the load balancing module dynamically directs requests to other available servers, thus preventing application-wide failure. Because the iPlanet Application Server architecture promotes high availability of applications, server administrators can use iPlanet Application Server Administrator to perform a variety of tasks in real time, without interrupting an application's operation. These extensions provide a consistent access layer to disparate back-end systems, dramatically reducing development effort.
Developers can extract both native legacy data and logic, and store it into a metadata repository.
New, Internet-ready services are added to the logic and the application can then be deployed to the Internet without any modification to native code. New services are rendered as Enterprise JavaBeans, components which can be reused across multiple applications. A comprehensive web-based solution for designing, deploying, managing, and participating in automated business processes such as claims management, customer self service, and order fulfillment. It includes iPlanet Process Builder, iPlanet Process Express, iPlanet Process Administrator, iPlanet Application Server, iPlanet Web Server, and iPlanet Directory Server.
