Application Servers
Application Server:
A software platform that provides the services and infrastructure required to develop and deploy middle-tier applications. Middle-tier applications perform the business logic necessary to provide web clients with access to enterprise information systems. In a multi-tier architecture, an application server sits beside a web server or between a web server and enterprise information systems. Application servers provide the middleware for enterprise systems.

eXo Platform
The eXo Platform is a powerful and extensible platform on which several products can be built.
eXo Platform v1 was a Portal framework that was built to provide a scalable, modular, extensible and easy to configure solution on which Integrators, Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and Value Added Resellers (VARs) could build their offering. But, it was not intended to be used out of the box unless the company or organization had a dedicated technical team.
The Platform contains the container kernel as well as the logic to analyze services configuration XML. It also comes with a set of reusable services such as security, organizational or chart ones. No distribution is built out of it and maven artifacts are only.
