The past twenty years has brought a proliferation of computer hardware and software technology on a global level for business enterprise and technology-driven individuals. What has been left in place are hundreds of millions of desktop workstations, a significant percentage of which are intelligent, primarily
Microsoft Windows
Family and
Linux- and UNIX- variant operating systems, that are networked and connected to the Internet. There is a wireless infrastructure in the public domain used by information technology-driven organizations - Fortune 1000 corporations, government municipalities, healthcare providers,
and consumers. The area of explosive growth in hardware is mobile devices: smartphones, tablet computers, handheld devices, and PDAs. As the next generation
of mobile applications and web apps are coded, there will be significant implications in terms of web server access, processing, and integration with:
1- web browsers 2- database 3- middleware and 4- mainframe.
In February 2011, the last-top level block of public IPv4: Internet Protocol version was assigned. CETi Technology Partners have been reviewing white papers and the
IPv6 Internet Protocol version 6 implementations being performed at large
enterprises:
In addition to the increased number of IPv6 addresses, there also will be advancements in security and privacy options. The challenge during the transition will be to maintain IPv4 devices which access a web site while installing and configuring the new IPv6-enabled devices. When both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols are running at the client and server, the IPv6 protocol and the AAAA RR record is the default record which will be returned. However, the delay in response will impact the quality of response time and overall experience of the user's web interaction in a mixed IPv6-IPv4 environment. An interim solution has been to add a prefix to domain names in order to differentiate IPv6 connections. When the host detects that the incoming request is coming from an IPv4-only device, it will return an A RR record. If it detects only an IPv6-enabled device, an AAAA RR record will be returned. With a new generation of high speed routers and reliable high speed connections, IP addresses readily available via DHCP and with IPV6 configurations available in the software, the foundation for a web server in every business and home and an IP address assigned at birth may well be next. It is the onset of the age of the web server. An application server is a network-based software engine that delivers applications on a variety of client devices. Unlike the client/server model, the application server executes most of the application business logic; it does not require client software to be installed on the access device. The application server environment is an efficient and flexible means for delivering applications. The major commercial vendors, as well as the open source providers, support the J2EE and web services standards. The specific revision supported by a given server may vary, but competitive forces in the market inevitably mandate that all the offerings support the latest industry standards. Web servers also serve as a strategic component of SOA: Service-oriented Architecture. They operate at the middleware layer and when based on industry standards promote interoperability and access to cloud computing. The sharing of a common architectural model provides for reasonably smooth growth even when the underlying platform is different from the legacy hardware. The addition of new capabilities such as application edition management, dynamic workload management, and virtualization can be more readily implemented when the application server environment is based upon a consistent architecture. Few organizational enterprises have a homogeneous software environment. Accordingly, there will be requirements for integration with existing infrastructure and planning in order to expand and scale with commercial and open source application servers. The most widely used commercial application servers are IBM Corporation's WAS: WebSphere Application Server and Oracle Corporation's WLS: WebLogic Server and Oracle Application Server. The best known open source application server projects are Apache Geronimo, Glassfish Application Server, and JBoss Application Server. Each has an association with a commercial web server.
Web servers are important to software as a service and cloud computing. Web server technology is being driven by increases in bandwidth and new hardware. It is being implemented by organizations that have invested in infrastructure and have the resources to utilize web servers to operational advantage. There are still components and details of the emerging web server equation which have to be determined; such as whether there will be a dominant commercial scalable database and the degree of long term interoperability among - IBM DB2 UDB, Oracle Corporation database, Microsoft SQL Server, SAP - Sybase, and open source MySQL (Oracle). Web Server Training and SYS-ED When it comes to installing, administering, writing code, and optimizing web server performance, SYS-ED has a unique set of resources to draw upon. SYS-ED staff and CETi Technology Partners average 30+ years in interrelated information technology and our collective experience includes hands-on consultancy assignments on the major web server platforms inclusive of implementations in hybrid environments. We have worked with the major free open source and commercial J2EE-compliant application servers:
In conjunction with this experience, SYS-ED also evaluates published benchmarks and white papers. It provides us with a privileged perspective from which to teach what truly works in practice, provide undocumented tips, and highlight troubleshooting guidelines. SYS-ED web server and application development courses present industry standard content and consultancy derived subject matter: examples, sample programs, and tailored exercises. Equally as important, we apply our expertise in interrelated information technology in web servers to SOA: Service Oriented Architecture and IBM WebSphere MQ middleware. SYS-ED's web server courseware extends the source vendor documentation: examples, sample programs, training aids, and validation assessment. Content is selectively augmented from the CETi knowledge base. Upon completion of a course, students are welcome to ask web server questions from back on the job. Few software or consulting companies have been teaching web server courses and integrated training programs longer or better than SYS-ED. |

Web Server Programmatic Implementation Microsoft and Hybrid Application Development There currently is no single standard for the programmatic implementation of web server capabilities. Nor is there a dominant commercial standard. Both open source and commercial software are being utilized in hybrid combinations.
In addition to WIMP, WAMP, and LAMP, SYS-ED staff have observed a significant increase in scripting with Microsoft PowerShell and open source Korn shell and Perl.
Open source Java and commercial WebSphere, Oracle, and WebLogic development platforms have been built upon and integrated with the J2EE standard. Since 2007 there has been a significant increase in web server application development based upon compliance with J2EE and Java specifications. The major reasons for this having occurred has been:

Additional Information So when it comes to your web server training needs, by all means contact the major software companies and request their outlines. Then contact SYS-ED and review our outlines, performance objectives, courseware and optional validation assessment and schedule a telephone consultation with dshapiro@sysed.com or dsilverberg@sysed.com. SYS-ED web server courses are not open to the general public. Only employees sponsored by Fortune 1000 corporations, government municipalities, and healthcare providers are allowed to enroll in a SYS-ED course and only after a telephone consultation with our Director of Education. This is essential for ensuring that the individual be placed in the course which corresponds to the employer’s operational objectives, operating environment, version of software, and development platform.
