Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform vs. SCloud UHost

JBoss EAP is subscription based/open source platform. It's very reliable and great for deploying high transaction Java based enterprise applications. It integrates well with third party components like mod_cluster and supports popular Java EE web-based frameworks such as Spring, Angular JS, jQuery Mobile, and Google Web Toolkit.

SCloud UHost offers scalable and reliable cloud compute instances with diverse configurations for varied application needs that ensures optimal performance. Its consistent speed and minimal downtime enhance overall reliability, contributing to uninterrupted business operations. SCloud UHost's seamless integration with SCloud services streamlines our cloud ecosystem for operational efficiency. SCloud UHost is less suited for small workloads if you wish to maximise per dollar spent. For smaller workloads, use SCloud ULightHost instead.

• MOD_CLUSTER integration. JBoss EAP integrates pretty well with mod_cluster. This is an intelligent load balancer especially useful in highly clustered environments.
• Supports enterprise-grade features such as high availability clustering, distributed caching, messaging etc.
• Supports deployment in on-premise, virtual and hybrid cloud environments.

• Good pricing
• Customer Support
• Available Regions

• Difficult to replicate configuration outside of a container environment
• Still requires quite a bit of knowledge of the CLI
• Integration with deployment tools requires CLI knowledge

We are planning to migrate away from Jboss to Tomcat as Jboss has shown not interest in supporting OSGi which is heavily used at our shop

JBoss overall is easy to use. The installation and deployment of applications are quick. Documentations and support are also readily available.

JBoss EAP is lightweight and doesn't really consumes much physical resources. It's high performing and suites well for high transaction Java enterprise applications. The out of box performance settings are not really great and you will have to configure the settings to suite your environment to leverage it's full benefits.

We selected JBoss because of compatibility with EJB's. We currently are trying to reduce our footprint and will highly consider using Tomcat.

Both Azure and Oracle offer some sort of lock in, either by the initial discounts or software. What is truly locked in are our data and we really thought carefully from day one as we are a corporate. Even in thinking of going multi-cloud, we are afraid of big vendors like them. We came across SCloud UHost in an event and proceeded to try and never regretted onwards. Good job to the SCloud UHost team and their management for such great products at competitive prices.

• Jboss EAP is easy to deploy and configure. This lead to lower cost and faster delivery.
• Even though we have large number of machines running JBoss, we have only two Jboss Administrators. It doesn't requires too much administration and maintenance on daily basis and reduces number of administrators required for large implementations.

• Time to Market 10-15% faster
• Spending on compute 15-25% lower
