Up from middleware
By the late 1990s, application server technology emerged as a popular middle
tier for client/server systems as the Internet revolution took hold and
access to the World Wide Web became vital to all kinds of organizations
-- corporations, government, non-profits and others. The emergence of app
servers prompted the creation of a slew of start-ups and quick entry into
the business by major players like IBM, BEA Systems, Hewlett-Packard (HP),
Microsoft, Oracle, and Sun Microsystems. Writer John K. Waters recently took a renewed look
at app servers, which in many cases is packaged into a bundle that includes
development and testing tools, workflow managers, configuration management
systems and other products. -Mike Bucken
