Getting started with WebSphere Application Server

To get started with WebSphere Application Server, understand the individual products in the product family to determine which product best suits your needs. Then order that product, prepare your operating system for the installation and install the product, create profiles that contains application servers, and deploy applications on your servers for your customers to access. Deploying applications is covered in detail in another part of the information center. The Getting started section of the installation center focuses on product descriptions, package descriptions, installation procedures, and migration.
