The Alero software is itself a server and does not require an application server but can run in the context of any application server. The decision of not using an application server was a conscious decision during the initial prototyping of the product. The cons of using an application server outweighed the benefits. Using an application server was going to add complexity, overhead, and cost, and would only help when dealing with records in databases and not with files. Instead of using an application server, Alero provides its own internal transaction server and the following built-in features: scalability, distribution, failover, virtualization, federation, and many more.
