ARMONK, NY - : IBM and Avada Software announced a new original equipment manufacturer (OEM) agreement to join forces to capture a larger piece of the growing open source application server market.
Under the agreement, Avada Software will deliver and support WebSphere Application Server Community Edition (WAS CE) as part of its messaging management solutions.

WAS CE, which is free to download and use, is pre-integrated with Apache Tomcat and several most commonly used open source components, such as web services, security, authentication, messaging, and web tier clustering.
WAS CE provides a host of technologies that simplifies the development of applications and services, thus dramatically improving developer productivity. WAS CE and related subscription support can also help customers begin to deploy a service oriented architecture (SOA) by providing the flexibility to reuse existing services and expanded access to core applications. Avada's software is built to take advantage of a customer's existing infrastructure.
"More companies, especially SMBs, are turning to open source application servers as a flexible, affordable and reliable alternative to traditional commercial software offerings," said Robert Sordillo, C.T.O of Avada Software.
"Avada and IBM are working together to help businesses break down the barriers to SOA by providing simple access to existing applications, services, and important data."
By entering into the agreement, Avada will provide their customers with an open source-based application server backed by IBM's world class global support.
IBM and Avada will team on joint marketing and sales campaigns targeting customers around the world.
