The Apache web server is a very popular front
end for a number of different web-based systems. The basic Apache
process, httpd, and other processes it starts and manages comprise
much of the workload for many middle tier systems in the enterprise,
including many resource-intensive workloads.
Beyond commercial packages, much of the emerging web services infrastructure
is being built around Apache or Apache-managed workloads. These
include such mechanisms as XML-RPC and SOAP interfaces implemented
as CGI, mod_*, or servlets combined in various ways with Apache.
If you need a more robust Apache-based web server for the
enterprise, especially for a mission-critical environment, HP recommends
the HP-UX Apache-based Web Server. Engineered through state-of-the
art processes for the highest quality and tailored to run smoothly
on the HP-UX platforms, the HP-UX Apache-based Web Server is a total solution
for web serving deployment in the enterprise. The Open Source Apache
Web Server software developed by the Apache Software Foundation
(Apache HTTP Server Project described at http://httpd.apache.org)
serves as the foundation for the HP-UX Apache-based Web Server.
In addition to the base HTTP server, HP has combined numerous popular
modules from other Open Source projects as well as HP-developed
valued features, such as performance tuning, user guides, and security
modules.
WLM can help you manage and prioritize Apache-based workloads. WLM
can be used with Apache processes, Tomcat, CGI scripts, and related
tools using the HP-UX Apache-based Web Server.
