Whether you’re building your business on the Web, or bringing your business to it, IBM WebSphere for Linux can help propel your company into the next generation of e-business. Based on open, industry-accepted standards, WebSphere makes it easy to collaborate and strengthen relationships with customers, suppliers and trading partners.

WebSphere Application Server provides all the software and tools needed to build, deploy, integrate and manage e-business applications. It can take a static Web site and transform it into a dynamic portal, quickly building sales, service and collaboration channels.

WebSphere Commerce can build Java-based scalable e-business applications. Targeted promotions can be developed and deployed on the fly. WebSphere Analyzer, a tool included in this package, can gauge the effectiveness of sales tactics. Multiple languages, currencies, payment structures and shipping options are easily supported, and new e-business applications can be extended to wireless handheld devices with built-in m-commerce support.

The WebSphere MQ family integrates legacy applications with your newly built e-business solutions. WebSphere MQ Everyplace allows remote access for mobile workers, while WebSphere Adapters connect packaged applications like SAP with your e-business applications.

The WebSphere Studio development environment enables Linux-based Web applications that take advantage of Linux’s stability and operating strengths. The WebSphere Studio Application Developer offers an integrated suite that allows solutions to be crafted in Java (including J2EE and J2ME), HTML and XML.

WebSphere for Linux is:

• Flexible — WebSphere is based on open standards for Java and Web services, including J2EE, XML, UDDI, SOAP and WSDL. It supports the complexities of interlinking enterprises
• Reliable — WebSphere provides a transactional environment for running Java servlets and Enterprise JavaBeans on top of Apache Web servers
• Cost Effective — WebSphere reduces application development costs by reusing code. It optimizes operating costs because it can run on Linux from PC servers to server clusters to mainframes
