WebSphere® eXtreme Scale extends WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment, using service level
management to provide an enhanced quality of service
in high performance
computing.
The
WebSphere Extended Deployment Version
6.1 product is divided into three functionally independent products.
You now have more choices to address your business challenges. In
addition to the full product containing all features, you have the
option of separately ordering the following products:
WebSphere Virtual Enterprise for dynamic operations
and application server virtualization,
WebSphere eXtreme Scale for high-performance
and
WebSphere Extended Deployment
Compute Grid for running
and controlling batch-like jobs.
- WebSphere eXtreme Scale- Provides high
end caching and transaction partitioning capabilities, known better
as ObjectGrid and the partitioning facility (WPF). respectively. ObjectGrid
is enhanced to provide performance improvements across a wide range
of application scenarios. The number of Java™ Virtual
Machines (JVM) and size of data sets supported is significantly increased,
query capabilities have been added allowing for parallel operations
across the ObjectGrid configurations, and applications using different
schemas for the underlying ObjectGrid information can execute concurrently
improving application availability and resiliency.
WebSphere eXtreme Scale represents on demand capabilities in an
extended environment. Use the product to enhance operational efficiency
by deploying dynamic operations, service high-volume transactional
workloads with linear scalability and near 100% availability, or manage
large scale, continuously available WebSphere Application Server environments.
The product introduces application server virtualization and automation.
A virtualized infrastructure redefines the traditional concepts of Java 2
Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) resources and applications,
and their relationships with each other. This new infrastructure facilitates
the product's ability to automate operations, thereby simplifying
complex configurations.
Restriction: The product
does not support Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) features on the z/OS
® operating
system.
