Planning for configuration

Before configuring the hardware or software, understand the following considerations.

Supported APIs and configurations by client type
The available APIs and configuration features depend on the type of client that you are using. You can use any of the following clients: Java client, REST data service client, REST gateway client, or .NET client.
Planning for network ports
WebSphere eXtreme Scale servers require several ports to operate.
Planning to use IBM eXtremeMemory
By configuring eXtremeMemory, you can store objects in native memory instead of on the Java™ heap. When you configure eXtremeMemory, you can either allow the default amount of memory to be used, or you can calculate the amount of memory that you want to dedicate to eXtremeMemory.
Security overview
WebSphere eXtreme Scale can secure data access, including allowing for integration with external security providers.
