Introduction to WebSphere Application Server Feature Packs
How can your business be agile if your application infrastructure isn’t?
It can’t. Your application infrastructure provides the foundation and tools needed to run the applications your business requires. If it is optimised for speed and flexibility; it can deliver new applications and services and reach customers in new ways and quickly respond to change. If your application foundation isn’t agile, neither is your business.
IBM Software can help you develop an application infrastructure that supports efficient delivery of innovative applications while optimising resources and reducing time to deploy. Plus, it can help you achieve application virtualisation that helps automate workloads for increased simplicity, resource consolidation, reduced risk and cost, and increased sharing of resources.
IBM application infrastructure solutions provide you with the capability to:
- Enable an agile and cost-optimised business by ensuring applications, facing challenging, unpredictable demand levels, consistently deliver key business results even in the face of budget challenges
- Speed delivery of reliable new applications and services with operational efficiency and flexibility
- Drive down management and administration costs by adopting easy-to-use cloud and virtualisation technologies
- Reduce costs and risks by efficiently managing your applications with integrated tools that provide maximum security and control
Real results
Haddon Hill Group (US), a computer services provider, needed a faster, less cost-intensive method of implementing large IBM WebSphere® environments. The IBM solution for workload deployment has Haddon Hill projecting seven-figure savings, 100 times faster time to market -- hours versus 40 to 60 days -- and the elimination of errors resulting from incorrect server configurations.
Max New York Life Insurance Co. Ltd. (US) sought ways to reduce hardware and software licensing costs. Virtual enterprise software from IBM enabled the insurer to reduce hardware infrastructure by approximately 50 percent, improve availability, and adopt early problem detection and resolution.
