« Tech Ed keynote: Ozzie touts software as service | Main | BRIDGEWERX Delivers a SaaS SOA Solution »

JBoss, which is now the middleware division of Red Hat, has announced it is extending its certification program to software as a service (SaaS) providers. The Certified SaaS Program is designed to support companies that develop and deliver their products as services. The program helps software vendors and hosting providers build and deploy their hosted solutions using the JBoss Enterprise Middleware Suite (JEMS) as part of their SaaS infrastructures. With its open source approach, JEMS offers an ideal platform for enterprise web applications where scalability from one to many users is critical.The Certified SaaS Program provides industry-validated testing tools and a methodology for certifying optimum performance and interoperability. The Certified SaaS Partners will be able to access advanced management and monitoring capabilities through JBoss Operations Network (JBoss ON). Through JBoss ON, a partner can configure, monitor, update and provision their SaaS infrastructure, from operating system to JEMS-based applications, for maximum uptime and high availability. JEMS also provides a standards-based framework for SaaS applications that can be extended and customized through service-oriented architectures (SOA).

"SaaS is built on a revenue model that is focused on high quality service and value provided to customers," said Tom Cooper, vice president of worldwide channels, JBoss, a division of Red Hat. "Our partners have utilized JEMS to launch new certified products with speed and confidence. JBoss offers the flexibility, security and low cost required for companies to quickly launch service-based products in new markets."
