While most WebSphere Education courses include hands-on labs during your class, there always seems to be a need for more time… more time to complete an exercise, tweak a setting or try out a code change. With the IBM WebSphere Education Expert Arena offering, you can experience WebSphere products and learn by doing—change product configurations, explore features or experiment with code.
In addition to being a great learning tool, an IBM WebSphere Expert Arena can be used as test environment to help you avoid costly issues as you deploy your project. A yearly survey conducted by the WebSphere Support organization has shown a lack of test environment was a leading cause of WebSphere support engagements over the past three years. Additionally, a survey by Capers Jones showed that a single code defect after deployment can cost up to $14,000 to correct.
IBM WebSphere Expert Arena offers:
- Access to fully functional versions of WebSphere and CICS software. Not functionally stripped down or trial versions of WebSphere software.
- Access to your Expert Arena 24 hours a day, seven days per week to support teams in different time zones or even geographies.
- The capability to be reimaged and recovered. Experiment, make changes or test code without worry.
Getting an Expert Arena up and running is as simple as logging on. You’ll remotely access the software on pre-configured IBM servers. There are no WebSphere components to install on your local machine.
