Glassfish - The Costs?

These are some of the costs of support contracts for Glassfish from sun.com website.
I am under the impression that HADB stands for High availability Database, and this would be support for this portion of your system if you are using one.
The costs are most competitive since rivals offerings for commercial support can be more than double of this cost.

4 Sockets: Standard HADB Subscription sold per 4 socket units - 1 year - Requires purchase of Standard subscription: $2,250.00
4 Sockets: Premium HADB Subscription sold per 4 socket units - 1 year - Requires purchase of Premium subscription: $3,375.00

4 Sockets: Standard Subscription sold per 4 socket units - 1 year: $4,500.00

4 Sockets: Premium Subscription sold per 4 socket units - 1 year: $6,750.00

Glassfish - new kid on the block or not?

Glassfish you could say is the new J2EE web application server in town, although its roots go back to 2005 when the project was kicked off. However lets look a little deeper into the whole story.

Glassfish is in fact a derivative of other application servers.

Glassfish released in its latest form in september 2007 is in fact a derivative of Sun-One Application Server, Sun-One Application Server is a derivative of iPlanet Application Server.
iPlanet Application Server is a derivative of Netscape Application Server and NetDynamics Application Server.

The Sun-Netscape Alliance was what was known back then as iPlanet.

You could say that Glassfish commercial version is Sun-One Application Server 9.1
