 | IBM WebSphere® Application Server drives business agility by providing millions of developers and IT Architects with an innovative, performance based foundation to build, reuse, run, integrate and manage Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) applications and services; especially business critical and key company wide applications that require the highest levels of reliability, availability, security and scalability. High Performance SOA Environment
Keep your business agile in a constantly changing environment. WebSphere Application Server V7 provides a fast, reliable, available, secure and scalable environment that enables development and application efficiencies so that businesses can do more with fewer resources. Unparalleled Performance
Do more with less. WebSphere Application Server V7 delivers optimized runtime performance through provisioning, web services, and EJB3 enhancements which can result in fewer energy consuming processors being needed to perform the same workloads of previous versions. Rock-solid Security
Rest assured, applications and data are secure from attack.
Out-of-the-box security configurations and user registry, compliance with government standards, and stringent Web services security offer peace-of-mind. New security capabilities add new levels of management, user governance and auditing to decrease system vulnerabilities while maximizing developer productivity. - WebSphere Security Domains delivers greater granulation, flexibility and control over users and infrastructure to increase administration efficiencies
- Security auditing capabilities ensure security compliance to ease development
- DMZ Proxy enhancements provide a more secure out-of-box proxy implementation outside the firewall saving development time
- Broader implementation of Kerberos delivers improved interoperability with other applications and environments to increase developer productivity
Application Reuse and Integration
Investment Protection through integration and reuse. Enables re-use of applications and services and makes them accessible to new users in new ways, giving you immediate insight and interaction with partners, suppliers and customers and increasing your return on investment. - New web services support including WS-Business Activity, WS-Notification and WS-I Basic Security Profile, help you more securely extend your reach, and give better application portability and control, on top of already extensive Web services support, Web 2.0 and a powerful Java Messaging Service (JMS) engine to help you extend the reach of your existing applications and maximize asset utilization.
- Pre-integrated support for WebSphere MQ and tight integration with WebSphere ESB - the combination of these products form a powerful Enterprise Service Bus that can integrate the most diverse applications and environments.
- New compatibility features offer the ability to seamlessly adopt newer infrastructure and run applications developed in previous versions of WebSphere Application Server to eliminate intensive cost and resource requirements.
Run your applications where it makes sense for you. - WebSphere Application Server V7 supports the broadest range of platforms in the industry, helping provide assurance that your applications can be built to run on the platform that most makes sense for your business.
Intelligent Management
Anticipate and adjust to mission critical-issues. WebSphere Application Server V7 offers a simplified infrastructure, flexible and effective application control and runtime efficiency so you can respond to evolving business needs with infrastructure and application intelligence. - Runtime provisioning and OSGi technology dynamically selects only the needed functions for memory and space reducing the application server footprint
- New Administration tools enable attention to the deepest level of security providing fine grained security management levels
- New WebSphere Business Level Applications (WBLA) expands the notion of "application" beyond Java EE 5 to significantly improve the management of multi-component applications, simplifying administrative tasks
- Improved Console Command Assistant, easier security configuration and database connectivity, wizards and a stand-alone thin administration client enable efficient management of the deployment environment
Simplification for Developers
Increase developer productivity with a proven, standards based platform. WebSphere Application Server V7 offers enhanced support for standards, emerging technology and a choice of development frameworks that simplify programming models to increase developer productivity. Integral tooling makes the most of existing technology skills for rapid time to value. - Java EE 5 certification, EJB 3.0 support and Java Persistence API (JPA) and Java Development Kit (JDK) 6.0, delivers simplified programming models for building reusable persistent objects
- Web services support, including JAX-WS, SOAP 1.2, MTOM, XOP, WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-Trust, WS-SecureConversation, WS-Policy, and Kerberos Token Profile, simplifies interoperability in mixed environments:
- Web 2.0 support (via Feature for Web 2.0) extends service-oriented architecture (SOA) by connecting external Web services, internal SOA services, and Java Platform Enterprise Edition (JEE) objects into highly interactive Web application interfaces through a Web 2.0 Feature Pack
- Spring has certification for use with WebSphere Application Server to enable module-based programming
- WebSphere Application Server Feature Packs simplify the adoption of new standards such Services Component Architecture (SCA)
- Single-step installation and configuration, wizards and default configurations, and easy to navigate documentation that includes extensive use of sample code help ensure fast and smooth start-up
- IBM Rational® Application Developer for WebSphere V7.5 is available and fully exploits capabilities within WebSphere Application Server V7, accelerating delivery of higher quality, mission critical applications
Innovation that Matters
Innovative features support the hottest technical innovations now and in the future. Addressing today’s challenges requires new ways of thinking—new ways of doing business and designing the technology that runs it. It requires innovation—but not innovation for the sake of new technology—it requires innovation that matters. WebSphere Application Server V7 technology enables new ways of executing business, by providing new technology to help you compete and add value. - Improving consumability with Feature Packs. WebSphere Application Server Feature Packs are designed to balance our customers’ desire for less frequent releases while still making available the latest standards to our customers who need them. With Feature Packs, customers can selectively take advantage of new standards and features while maintaining a more stable internal release cycle.
- Applications bring insight and interaction. The WebSphere Application Server Feature Pack for Web 2.0 unites Web 2.0 and SOA to help you bring all your most important services to the forefront in an application that gives you immediate insight and interaction with customers, partners, suppliers
- Compelling new ways to interact. WebSphere Application Server V7 supports Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) servlets to offer standardized support for interactive user sessions that involve real-time multimedia elements such as voice, video, instant messaging and online games.
