Interoperability with other products
You can integrate WebSphere® eXtreme Scale with other products, such as WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere Application Server Community Edition.
WebSphere InfoSphere Data Replication
Cache can be automatically invalidated or updated in real time using InfoSphere Data Replication Change Data Capture, which captures change data directly from database logs and dynamically routes them to the cache by way of the eXtreme Scale change data capture (CDC) adapter, which is a configurable plug-in that allows users to specify how to transform the change capture data to a key-value object to be updated into the cache.
WebSphere Application Server
You can integrate WebSphere Application Server into various aspects of your WebSphere eXtreme Scale configuration. You can deploy data grid applications and use WebSphere Application Server to host container and catalog servers. Or, you can use a mixed environment that has WebSphere eXtreme Scale Client installed in the WebSphere Application Server environment with stand-alone catalog and container servers. You can also use WebSphere Application Server security in your WebSphere eXtreme Scale environment.
WebSphere Business Process Management and Connectivity products
WebSphere Business Process Management and Connectivity products, including WebSphere Integration Developer, WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, and WebSphere Process Server, integrate with back end systems, such as CICS®, web services, databases, or JMS topics and queues. You can add WebSphere eXtreme Scale to the configuration to cache the output of these back end systems, increasing the overall performance of your configuration.WebSphere Commerce
WebSphere Commerce can leverage WebSphere eXtreme Scale caching as a replacement to dynamic cache. By eliminating duplicate dynamic cache entries and the frequent invalidation processing necessary to keep the cache synchronized during high stress situations, you can improve performance, scaling, and high availability.WebSphere Portal
You can persist HTTP sessions from WebSphere Portal into a data grid in WebSphere eXtreme Scale. In addition, IBM® Web Content Manager in IBM WebSphere Portal can use dynamic cache instances to store rendered content that is retrieved from Web Content Manager when advanced caching is enabled. WebSphere eXtreme Scale offers an implementation of dynamic cache that stores cached content in an elastic data grid instead of using the default dynamic cache implementation.WebSphere Application Server Community Edition
WebSphere Application Server Community Edition can share session state, but not in an efficient, scalable manner. WebSphere eXtreme Scale provides a high performance, distributed persistence layer that can be used to replicate state, but does not readily integrate with any application server outside of WebSphere Application Server. You can integrate these two products to provide a scalable session management solution.
WebSphere Real Time
With support for WebSphere Real Time, the industry-leading real-time Java™ offering, WebSphere eXtreme Scale enables Extreme Transaction Processing (XTP) applications to have more consistent and predictable response times.
Monitoring
WebSphere eXtreme Scale can be monitored using several popular enterprise monitoring solutions. Plug-in agents are included for IBM Tivoli® Monitoring and Hyperic HQ, which monitor WebSphere eXtreme Scale using publicly accessible management beans. CA Wily Introscope uses Java method instrumentation to capture statistics.
