Overview
WebSphere® Extended Deployment V6.0 extends the capabilities of the WebSphere platform. These extended features enable the implementation of a Business Grid - a dynamic, goals-directed, high-performance environment for running mixed application types and workload patterns in WebSphere.
WebSphere Extended Deployment V6.0 creates an on demand infrastructure that spans both transactional and long-running workloads. This integrated environment dynamically determines how to optimally allocate a pool of resources based on customer-defined business goals. By supporting mixed application types and workload patterns, WebSphere Extended Deployment combines more efficient resource utilization with improved performance and scalability.
WebSphere Extended Deployment V6.0 offers:
New application types and workload patterns in WebSphere: Combine transactional and long-running workloads within WebSphere for more efficient use of application infrastructure resources.
Highly scalable and reliable transactional infrastructure: Optimize your data access for improved application performance and scalability.
Dynamic application deployment and operations: Maintain predictable quality of service throughout the application life cycle.
Flexible application administration: Improve the manageability of virtualized, heterogeneous environments through real-time insight into usage and health.
WebSphere Extended Deployment V6.0 is available with education and services offerings designed to help you optimize your application infrastructure. A QuickStart for WebSphere Extended Deployment services offering is included with purchases of 10 or more WebSphere Extended Deployment product licenses to help ensure successful solution deployment and accelerate your time-to-value.
