Then I have to restart and rebuild the machine.""Lacking a solution for smaller applications.""The restart capability needs to be improved because it takes us 15 minutes to restart any application.""There are sometimes issues with clusters.""This solution doesn't have connectors to other external applications."

"The product is unable to connect with different cloud services.""Microsoft will stop supporting the product next year, and we can't run unsupported programs in our systems.""Its price and licensing policy can be improved.

    Overview

    Oracle WebLogic Suite is an integrated solution for building onpremise cloud application infrastructures that span web server, application server and data grid technology tiers. It includes Oracle WebLogic Server, an application server for developing and deploying applications across conventional and cloud environments, Oracle Coherence Enterprise Edition, Oracle Web Tier, Oracle TopLink, Oracle Java Mission Control and Flight Recorder, and other component technologies.

    Windows Server AppFabric extends Windows Server to provide enhanced hosting, management, and caching capabilities for Web applications and middle-tier services. The AppFabric hosting features add service management extensions to Internet Information Services (IIS), Windows Process Activation Service (WAS), and the .NET Framework 4. This includes Hosting Services and Hosting Administration tools that make it easier to deploy, configure, and manage Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) based services. The AppFabric caching features add a distributed, in-memory object cache to Windows Server that makes it easier to scale out high-performance .NET applications, especially ASP.NET applications.
