Interactive Week: “HP’s new Internet Server, introduced last week, will be given away to all comers, including competitors, in the company’s bid to get builders
of Web services to follow its technology lead and to get back into a
leadership role in both the Java and Web services communities.

Internet Server moves beyond the typical Web server – whether open
source Apache or Microsoft Internet Information Server, which
primarily serve up HTML pages – but stops short of trying to be a
commercial application server – such as Sun Microsystems’ iPlanet or
BEA Systems’ WebLogic, which provide many database services and
connection services beyond the Web connection.”
