Abstract
You can download the IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale Version 8.6 Fix Pack 2, also known as 8.6.0.2.
Download Description
IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale is an elastic, scalable in-memory data grid that provides a key-addressable store of values or graphs. This product supports a processing unit, state store for applications written in Java. You can replicate the data stored in the data grid, depending on availability requirements, and you can achieve out-of-the-box database integration.
WebSphere eXtreme Scale can be integrated with existing WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment installations, or you can install the stand-alone product.
More information
To access a wide variety of technical resources for this product, see the IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale Version 8.6 Information Center.
To download the full installation of this release use IBM Passport Advantage. To download the server upgrade, use IBM Fix Central. The download instructions for both installations are included in this document.
