Installing WebSphere eXtreme Scale Client

For IBM® WebSphere® DataPower® XC10 Appliance to work with WebSphere Application Server or stand-alone clients, you must install the WebSphere eXtreme Scale Client.

About this task

Installing the WebSphere eXtreme Scale Client is required for your client applications to communicate with IBM WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance. Before you install the client, you must know if you want to install in a stand-alone scenario or into a WebSphere Application Server environment.

If your applications use WebSphere Application Server dynamic cache or HTTP sessions, then you must install the WebSphere eXtreme Scale Client into the WebSphere Application Server environment.

Simple data grids can be used in an embedded or a stand-alone scenario. The stand-alone installation does not use WebSphere Application Server.

For more information about the types of data grids, see Data grids, collectives and zones.
