So what if things are tough out there, you can still deliver your business objectives while saving costs with the right application foundation. In this Web seminar we'll compare IBM WebSphere Application Server with JBoss, explain their various differences, and how they add up in a Total Cost of Ownership study.

Succeeding in today's economy not only means utilizing technology to create intelligent, instrumented and interconnected solutions, but leveraging technology to optimize costs and do more with less. This brochure describes how the 3 key attributes of IBM's application foundation help deliver higher quality of service at a lower cost than JBoss.

This webcast, "Untangle Your Connectivity Infrastructure - Free Up Your Cost," shows how IBM SOA solutions and IBM WebSphere untangle costly and debilitating complexities associated with connecting and integrating applications, services, and processes spread throughout the organization. The result is business agility and cost optimization.

"Recently, Open Source Software has been gaining in popularity due to the ability it provides users to view and modify source code. Another attraction is the perceived cost savings. Read the white paper that takes a look at the truth about those savings. Initially, deployment environments like JBoss have an advantage-zero initial software acquisition costs. However, the white paper will show how, over time, IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) and IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment (WAS ND) win the TCO battle. Learn more."
