The WebSphere Family: providing e-business solutions
The IBM WebSphere Family was designed to help users realize the promise of e-business.
WebSphere Family is a set of software products that helps customers develop and manage high-performance Web sites and integrate those Web sites with new or existingnon-Web business systems. It focuses on the following general types of businesses:
1)Businesses that want to use the latest technologies to establish a powerful Web presence or upgrade their current Web presence
2)Businesses that want to develop distributed, enterprisewide business systems and applications
3)Businesses that want to integrate their Web presence with their non-Web systems and applications
The WebSphere Family consists of the WebSphere Application Server and other WebSphere Family software that is tightly integrated with the WebSphere Application
Server and enhances its performance.
WebSphere Application Server(WAS): three editions for different customer needs
To enable customers to achieve their e-business goals, WebSphere is available in three editions:
1)The WebSphere Application Server Standard Edition (also called the Standard Application Server) combines the portability of server-side business applications with the performance and manageability of Java(TM) technologies to offer a comprehensive platform for designing Java-based Web applications. It enables powerful interactions with enterprise databases and transaction systems.
2)The WebSphere Application Server Advanced Edition (also called the Advanced Application Server) builds on the Standard Application Server. It introduces server capabilities for applications built to the Enterprise JavaBeans(TM) Specification from Sun Microsystems and provides some support for integrating the Web applications to other non-Web business systems.
3)The WebSphere Application Server Enterprise Edition (also called the Enterprise Application Server) builds on the Advanced Application Server and also offers a
robust solution to grow e-business applications into enterprise environments. It combines TXSeries(TM), IBM's world-class transactional application environment (consisting of both Enicna and CICS), with the full distributed object and business-process integration capabilities of Component Broker. The Enterprise Application Server contains a complete version of the Advanced Application Server.
These three editions are available on two UNIX(R) platforms (IBM AIX(R) and Sun(R) Microsystems Solaris(TM)) and Microsoft(R) Windows NT(R). WebSphere Standard and
Advanced Editions are also available on HP-UX.
On OS/390(R), WebSphere Application Server for OS/390 consists of Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition Component Broker. CICS is also available on the OS/390 platform.
WebSphere Application Server Standard and Advanced Editions also available for the AS/400(R) platform.
