WSO2 Application Server
Your Web application is valuable to your users ‚ and increasingly valuable to mobile applications, integration consumers, business processes, workflows, and analytics. With the WSO2 Application Server, you can easily share business logic, data, and process across the entire IT ecosystem. The WSO2 Application Server is Cloud Native, providing a firm foundation for hosting shared, multi-tenant, elastically scaling SaaS applications.
The WSO2 Application Server brings together best of breed open source technologies for Web Applications (i.e. Apache Tomcat), Web Services (i.e. Apache Axis2), RESTful services (ie: JAX-RS) with WSO2’s open source management, monitoring, clustering, and logging extensions.
