SpringSource tc Server is an enterprise version of Apache Tomcat, the widely used Web application server. SpringSource tc Server is hardened for enterprise use and is coupled with key operational capabilities, advanced diagnostics, and is backed by mission-critical support.

SpringSource tc Server is designed to be a drop in replacement for Apache Tomcat, ensuring a seamless upgrade path for existing custom-built and commercial software applications already certified for Tomcat. Maintaining this level of compatibility enables our customers to add the business-critical functionality they need to more effectively run and manage their applications with the least amount of effort.
