Application Server Version Audit
We map WebLogic, IIS and Tomcat versions, certificates and support status.

Middleware
We keep the layer your applications run on secure and fast.
End-to-end middleware services from Oracle WebLogic to Microsoft IIS, Apache and Nginx: installation, hardening, performance and version upgrades.
Who is it for?
If any of these statements sound familiar, you are in the right place.
Out-of-support application server versions show up as audit findings.
Services go down when certificates expire.
The application slows down under load, and the root cause cannot be found.
Scope of services
What do we do in Middleware?
Oracle WebLogic
Cluster setup, patch management, performance tuning and version upgrades.
Microsoft IIS
Installation and hardening of Windows-based application infrastructures.
Apache / Tomcat / Nginx
Enterprise-grade operation of open-source web and application servers.
Security hardening
SSL/TLS configuration, security headers and certificate lifecycle.
Performance and scaling
Stable performance through load balancing, connection pool and JVM tuning.
Version upgrades
Planned transitions from end-of-support versions to current platforms.
Two distinct layers
Web server and application server
A web server and an application server do different jobs and require different expertise. We address each separately and include the integration between them in the scope of service.
Layer 1 · Web server and reverse proxy
- Microsoft IIS: sites and application pools, authentication, certificate management
- Apache HTTP Server: virtual host design, module management, centralised configuration
- NGINX: reverse proxy, load balancing, API gateway, content caching
- TLS certificate lifecycle and automatic renewal
Layer 2 · Application server and integration
- Apache Tomcat: connector tuning, thread pool, session and cluster management
- WildFly / JBoss EAP: domain mode, data sources and connection pools
- Oracle WebLogic: cluster and managed server configuration, patching
- Apache Kafka, IBM MQ, RabbitMQ: queue monitoring and retry policies
- JVM tuning, garbage collection analysis, memory leak detection
Measurable commitment
Certificate expiry dates are monitored centrally, and an alert is raised at least 30 days before expiry. A certificate-related outage is a preventable outage.
