  Topic: Introduction to SpringSource tc Server: The Tomcat you Know, Enterprise Capabilities you Need

  Are you considering migrating off more expensive and heavyweight application servers?

  Do you need additional enterprise class server capabilities that Tomcat can’t provide?

  Historically stand alone Tomcat requires Administrators to develop a custom framework to handle installations. If configuration changes are required, the management framework has to be expanded to handle these changes for existing instances. Custom installation methods combined with custom management, monitoring and config. methods are time consuming and laborious.

  Enterprise Tomcat is here! Join us for a live seminar outlining SpringSource tc Server, an enterprise version of Apache Tomcat. This 1.5 hour seminar will cover tc Server capabilities for:

  • Managing large scale deployments
  • Controlling distributed groups of
  • Tomcat instances
  • Deploying enterprise applications reliably to production systems
  • Identifying, diagnosing, and resolving server problems quickly and efficiently
