According to an IDC study on the business value of Red Hat JBoss EAP in 2014, it appears that JBoss EAP:
- Increased the number of business applications developed per year by 70%
- Reduced the time per application developed by 35% per week
- Reduced the instances of unplanned downtime per Year by 80%
- Reduced the time to resolve planned downtime incidents (hours)
This is certainly due to the JBoss architecture which seems to be mostly acclaimed because of the following characteristics:
- JBoss EAP is a modular and lightweight application server
- An EAP server is a collection of modules or extensions
- An extension defines one or more subsystems
- A subsystem is a set of capabilities added to the server by an extension
- A server is started with one profile
- A profile is a collection of subsystems available to the server running the profile
