SAN FRANCISCO (November 06, 2008) –
Jaspersoft, the world’s most widely deployed business intelligence (BI) software, today announced that the Jaspersoft Business Intelligence Suite is now certified for Sun GlassFish(TM) Enterprise Server, a low-cost, high-performance platform for developing and delivering Web applications and services. This certification expands Jaspersoft’s existing relationship with Sun, which has produced the popular iReport for NetBeans(TM) IDE ( Integrated Development Environment) and Jasper For MySQL(TM).
Jaspersoft makes this announcement on the heels of Sun’s introduction of GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 Prelude , a lightweight Web application server that is based on a modular OSGi architecture and is commercially supported by Su n.
