The eXo Platform enables Java developers to easily, quickly and consistently expand existing applications - bringing the types of features users see daily on Facebook, Google Maps and Amazon to existing database applications. The Java middleware infrastructure that powers today's entperprise applications can be modernized with the next-generation capabilities of eXo Core and Extended Services, which provide the benefit of rapid development and deployment. eXo Platform runs on Tomcat, JBoss, Spring, and other Java environments. Additionally, the services-based architecture is designed for the modern web environment, enabling SaaS- and Cloud-based services to be deployed with flexibility and efficiency.

The powerful set of REST-based Core Services provide common services for rapid website development, Content Management, User Management and modern Gadget-based development and deployment. A large set of Extended Services for Social, Collaboration, Content Management, and Knowledge Management. Pre-built applications can also be added, including content Explorer, Email, Calendar, Activity Streams, Directories, Gadgets and Mashups. All of this is provided in the type of powerful, consistent, modular framework that Java developers are used to. This brings great efficiencies for giving java developers a simple transition and smooth roadmap from the traditional custom database driven applications to cutting edge user-centered web applications.

Finally, the eXo Platform 3.0 will fit into existing management frameworks like the JBoss Operations Network and Spring's TCServer Application Management. In addition, the eXo Platform 3.0 will provide innovative management and monitoring that focus on what the user is doing - providing the type of feedback the enterprise needs to understand their current and future investments on the web. The integrated eXo Platform 3.0 offering is planned for release in summer 2010. Developers are encouraged to try out components of the platform by downloading the various eXo Extended Services for Content, Social, Collaboration and Knowledge management.
