1.5.2 WebSphere Extended Deployment
WebSphere Extended Deployment (XD) is a suite of application infrastructure
products that can be installed and used separately or as a package:
► WebSphere Virtual Enterprise
This product, formerly Operations Optimization, provides application
infrastructure virtualization capabilities. Virtualization can lower costs required
to create, manage, and run enterprise applications by using existing hardware
resources. This package also contains additional management features like
application edition and dynamic application management, management of
heterogeneous application servers, and service policy management, which
provide an enhanced management environment for existing infrastructure.
► WebSphere eXtreme Scale
This product, formerly WebSphere Extended Deployment Data Grid, allows
business applications to process large volumes of transactions with efficiency
and linear scalability. WebSphere eXtreme Scale operates as an in-memory
data grid that dynamically caches, partitions, replicates, and manages
application data and business logic across multiple servers. It provides
transactional integrity and transparent failover to ensure high availability, high
reliability, and constant response times. WebSphere eXtreme Scale is a
software technology for conducting extreme transaction processing.
► Compute Grid
This product enables the scheduling, execution, and monitoring of batch type
jobs and compute-intensive tasks with service policy and workload
management.
This composition of packages delivers enhanced qualities of service with
features for optimizing IT resources and can be used in collaboration with
WebSphere Application Server packages.
