WebFacing applications can be deployed to the WebSphere® Application
Server or the i5/OS® integrated
Web application server.
Which application server should I use?- Use the Websphere Application Server Express or Base if you are deploying
WebFacing applications, WebFacing/HATS linked applications, or WebFacing applications
that use the application bridge.
- Use the Websphere Application Server Network Deployment (ND) if you are
deploying WebFacing applications requiring support for high availability,
server failure bypass (failover), and server load-balancing.
- Use the i5/OS integrated
Web application server if you are deploying WebFacing Web applications and
have limited i5/OS system
resources that cannot optimally run the WebSphere Application Server. The i5/OS integrated
Web application server does not support high availability and failover.
