The Eclipse Foundation is launching a new Open Regulatory Compliance Working Group on 24 September 2024. Payara Services is delighted to be a Participant member and the organization is keen to ensure as many development and security teams, small to medium-sized enterprises, and corporations as possible are aware of its work. And, of course, the more organizations that join the Open Regulatory Compliance Group, the stronger our impact can be. When we work together, we can better represent open-source software-related industries while the EU develops standards under the Cyber Resilience Act 2024 and subsequent data security compliance legislation.

In this blog post, we look at the history and development of the Eclipse Foundation as well as its new focus on cybersecurity compliance regulations through the new working group since July 2024.

Payara Platform 4 is reaching its End of Life, and the end of Extended Support is scheduled for the first quarter of 2025. 

However, we understand there are critical business reasons for which some of our customerscannot immediately transition some workloads to newer versions of the platform. To meet your legitimate business requirements, we are introducing the Lifetime Support model. This new offer replaces the Extended Support offeringfor this version and is designed to give you confidence that your business-critical applications will have enterprise level support to remain stable and secure during this transition period. 

This is your advance notice so that you can begin making plans to secure support for your existing infrastructure or to upgrade to Payara Platform 5 or 6.
