Continuous availability, advanced management and performance optimization for large-scale deployments
IBM® WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment provides an advanced, flexible runtime environment for large-scale application deployments. It offers near-continuous availability with advanced performance and management capabilities for mission-critical applications.
WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment provides:
- Support for open standards and broad programming models including lightweight options for web application deployments.
- Intelligent management and routing to help deliver reliability and better business results.
- Improved operations and resiliency through advanced application availability, elasticity and quality of service.
- Enhanced security and control using integrated management and administrative tools.
Support for open standards and broad programming models
- Includes Liberty profile for optimizing developer productivity and quickly delivering web, mobile and OSGi applications.
- Uses Liberty profile as an ultra-lightweight, fast-starting application server that supports IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition V7.0 as an optional pluggable JDK.
- Supports Web 2.0, Web Mobile, Java batch, XML, Service Component Architecture (SCA), Communications Enabled Applications (CEA), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and dynamic scripting programming languages.
- Lets you migrate applications from non-IBM servers such as Tomcat, JBoss and Oracle.
Intelligent management and routing
- Intelligent management capabilities help deliver resiliency and reliability.
- Intelligent routing helps improve business results by ensuring priority is given to business-critical applications.
- Requests are prioritized and routed based upon administrator defined rules by managing in-bound transaction (workload) requests in near real time.
- Processes are streamlined for higher priority requests to help ensure that in-bound requests do not overwhelm backend applications.
- Dynamic clustering can proactively provision, and start or stop new instances of application server Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) based on workload demands.
Improved operations and resiliency
- Allows applications to be upgraded without incurring outages to end users, or jeopardizing application or service availability.
- Monitors the status of your application servers and can sense and respond to problem areas before end users suffer an outage.
- Enables application rollout without outages and deploys new applications without jeopardizing application or service availability.
- Uses edge components, which offer load balancing, caching and centralized security for enhanced performance at the edge of the network.
- Uses parallel processing, allowing large jobs to be partitioned, governed and processed over a collection of server resources.
Enhanced security and control
- Provides flexible and granular security control to help you protect customer data.
- Filters records based on the content of log and trace record extensions. Tracks the unique IDs of requests.
- Enables you to audit changes made to your application server configuration using repository checkpoints.
