Following the official release of Milestone 5 (M5) of Apache Geronimo, company will issue comprehensive support offerings to its clients

Denver, CO – November 2, 2005 –Virtuas Solutions, LLC, the open source professional services organization, today announced a list of its support offerings surrounding Apache Geronimo’s latest release. Leading the way with comprehensive Milestone 5 backing, Virtuas' strategic migration and educational services for Apache Geronimo will be the first of its kind and will assist companies transitioning to best of breed open source solutions.

“With its unique capabilities of being able to 'roll your own' application server, Apache Geronimo M5 offers unparalleled customizations,” said Jeff Genender Virtuas Practice Leader and Geronimo PMC member. “This allows organizations to choose only those components of the J2EE architecture that they need, not forcing them to implement a full stack.”

From its conception, Apache Geronimo was built to support the assembly of custom open source components. With the release of Milestone 5, two of these assemblies (Jetty and Tomcat) are now J2EE 1.4 certified.

“The release of M5 is a tremendous accomplishment for the entire Apache Geronimo community and our hope is to continue to build the most innovative and adaptable solution for the enterprise,” said Bruce Snyder, Virtuas Practice Leader and Geronimo co-founder. “With the education and support of organizations like Virtuas, adopting open source solutions like Apache Geronimo just got a whole lot easier.”
