    Jboss Cost

    scottjsn

      I saw some sample cost analysis on RedHat Jboss EAP.  It mentioned something like JDK and HTTP Server.

       

      For instance:

       

      CPU core#: 128

      Application Server: $80,000

      JDK: $25,992

      HTTP Server: $2500


      My question:  My web app is JSP based, I do not need the HTTP server.  Also, I can download the JDK for free, so I do not need the JDK, either.  In this case, if I can still install and run the Jboss EAP (without the package JDK and HTTP server), to save the extra cost?

       

       

      Thanks

            Yes, you don't need to purchase JDK or an HTTP server.  Those estimations look like they came from a Websphere TCO whitepaper. I thought that whitepaper was way off. 

             

            What we did was use Oracle Server JRE (free download), clustered with F5 load balancers (Apache with mod_cluster works fine as well), and JBoss EAP 6.1 Premium support. For the JBoss EAP 6.1, we purchased a 16 core license from a reseller. In terms of middleware, we only needed to purchase the 16 core JBoss EAP 6.1 license and nothing else. I hope this helps.

              Like I noted here http://www.coderanch.com/t/632515/JBoss/Jboss-EAP-Cost it's better to ask this to the JBoss EAP sales/support team.
