(ApacheTK)
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.
