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