WebSphere Virtual Enterprise (formerly Operations Optimization), Version 6.1
             Operating Systems: AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, Windows, z/OS


Product overview

WebSphere® Virtual Enterprise extends WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, using service level management to provide an enhanced quality of service in dynamic operations and extended manageability.

The WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.1 product is divided into three functionally independent products. You now have more choices to address your business challenges. In addition to the full product containing all features, you have the option of separately ordering the following products: WebSphere Virtual Enterprise for dynamic operations and application server virtualization, WebSphere eXtreme Scale for high-performance and WebSphere Extended Deployment Compute Grid for running and controlling batch-like jobs.

To improve overall operations of complex systems a new centralized installation manager has been added to reduce installation and maintenance efforts. With health monitoring policies, you can determine which situations to monitor and the actions to take when a specific situation occurs.

WebSphere Virtual Enterprise represents on demand capabilities in an extended environment. Use the product to enhance operational efficiency by deploying dynamic operations, service high-volume transactional workloads with linear scalability and near 100% availability, or manage large scale, continuously available WebSphere Application Server environments.

The product introduces application server virtualization and automation. A virtualized infrastructure redefines the traditional concepts of Java™ 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) resources and applications, and their relationships with each other. This new infrastructure facilitates the product's ability to automate operations, thereby simplifying complex configurations.

WebSphere Virtual Enterprise is not functional without the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment installation. During installation, the product automatically identifies the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment installation and extends the functionality to embrace the themes and added function of the product.

[For z/OS operating system] Restriction: The product does not support Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) features on the z/OS® operating system.
