iplanet is an appserver / webserver the version i used had only a webserver. Its a decent dev/impl platform for java based applications. For testing and single user development we can download the Iplanet from the iplanet website. For commercial purposes we need to buy the license. Yes it is avbl for windows environment, the version i used (4.5) was avble for NT only and ppl at Iplanet told that it would be ready for Win 2K. Its a good one so have a nice dev time.

iPlanet is a company that offers a variety of "Internet" solutions to customers. The majority of people would be most familair with iPlanet Webserver.

iPlanet Webserver is a good webserver for Enterprise Situations. It is pricey compared to other webservers like Apache (free), however it does come with a good deal of support (from iPlanet / Sun) whereas Apache assistance is mostly public domain.

There are a few lic agreements available from iPlanet. Here we use the per CPU lic, where we have to pay a lic fee for each CPU on the machine. Once the lic is paid for, you could put an unlimited number of iPlanet listeners (WebSites) on the machine.
