SpringSource tc Server
The Tomcat You Know, The Enterprise Capabilities You Need
SpringSource tc Server™ is an enterprise version of Apache Tomcat, the widely used web application server. SpringSource tc Server is hardened for enterprise use and is coupled with key operational capabilities, advanced diagnostics and is backed by mission-critical support.
The Spring container has replaced the EJB container in a majority of enterprise Java applications and is now the de facto standard for enterprise Java. Spring has been a key driver of Tomcat’s adoption, which is now over 70% according to a recent Evans Data Study. The Spring/Tomcat stack powers many of the world’s most demanding applications across retail, banking, manufacturing, health care and other industry segments.
The SpringSource tc Server provides the powerful, lightweight benefits of Tomcat along with important enterprise class features and stability. SpringSource tc Server is suited for organizations using Spring with legacy Java EE servers and which are considering migrating off expensive and heavyweight application servers, as well as for current Tomcat users who need additional operational management and diagnostics capabilities, and enterprise support.
