Today’s business environment needs smarter IT solutions that respond to changing business demands. To address these demands, companies need an integrated solution that delivers simplified solutions across a wide range of business processes.
WebSphere Extended Deployment Compute Grid provides a multi-functional and multi-platform Java Batch solution that improves operational efficiency of business transaction processing. With support for batch jobs alongside online transactions, WebSphere Extended Deployment Compute Grid delivers a near real-time user experience while optimizing costs.
Simplify batch management
Manages Java batch applications: deploy to non-Java EE execution environments such as z/OS, CICS etc.
Supports qualities of service of WebSphere Application Server for z/OS: security, thread pooling, connection pooling, scalability, checkpoint algorithms, restart mechanisms, multi-threading and threshold policies and z/OS integration
Integrates workload-management for goals-oriented execution: batch jobs can be ad-hoc, event driven, batch throttled, paced and reprioritized to meet batch and OLTP service level agreements
Increase production and operational efficiency
Programming model enhancements: calendar and clock scheduling of jobs, reuse of assets written in Java, COBOL, PL/I, C/C++, integration with enterprise scheduler, and increase throughput for collocating scenarios (Collocation = executing data and business logic on same LPAR for z/OS)
Usage reporting with System Management Facilities (SMF) records
Installation Manager based install support: compatible with distributed and mainframe platforms and cloud ready, WAS v7 and WAS v8 for distributed and z/OS platform
