Virtuas Launches 2006 Java EE 1.4-Compliant Apache Geronimo Support Offerings

Company Poised to Lead the Apache Geronimo Adoption Into Global 2000 Organizations

Virtuas Open Source Solutions, the open source knowledge enablement organization, has announced the rollout of its comprehensive 2006 Apache Geronimo service and support offerings.

Following the December 2005 1.0 release of Apache Geronimo, the J2EE 1.4-compliant pure open source application server has gained much greater mindshare and increased adoption in the enterprise, competing with the likes of BEA's WebLogic server, IBM's WebSphere product and JBoss Application Server.

By creating a separate practice focused on the Apache Geronimo project, Virtuas is the first organization to provide complete lifecycle services for Geronimo. Beginning with public and private workshops, Virtuas will educate development staff and their organizations on the facets of Geronimo. Additionally, Virtuas will provide high-level consulting services, migration and development solutions, and Tier 3 support services, including issue tracking and code patches.

"The Apache Geronimo project is poised for a breakout year in 2006 from a global adoption standpoint," stated Matt Filios, Virtuas' President." The ease of pluggability and lightweight features of Geronimo make it very appealing to many organizations. We want to ensure that they have the knowledge enablement support services necessary to be successful with their use of Geronimo."

Jeff Genender, Virtuas' Geronimo Practice Leader and Project Management Committee (PMC) member of the Apache Geronimo project, provides the direction of Virtuas' service offerings and leads his set of Practice Consultants in the further development and enhancements to the Apache project. Jeff will host the Geronimo Live! Extravaganza, Wednesday, May 17, 2006, in San Francisco, California, during the week of JavaOne.
