Oracle has begun shipping a cut-down version of its
application server software designed for small and medium-sized
firms.
Oracle Application Server Standard Edition One is a J2EE-based
application server, which is charged at £2,800 per processor. It is
compatible with J2EE 1.3 and has built-in transaction management,
messaging, systems management and clustering facilities. Although
limited to two processors, it is half the price of Oracle
Application Server Standard Edition, said Oracle.
Along with per-processor pricing, the package is also available
with Named User Plus licensing at £83 per user, with a minimum of
five users. The cut-down application server provides connectivity
to Oracle and non-Oracle databases, along with a pre-built portal
which, Oracle said, offers basic content management and publishing
capabilities with simplified editing and administration.
