Express Runtime V2.1.1

Mid-market companies are looking for complete solutions from solution providers who know their businesses and specialize in a particular solution category, such as warehouse management or supply chain integration, within their industry. In order to provide an environment for the business solution, either the solution provider or the end customer must obtain the software needed to run the provider’s application program. This software normally consists of a database, a Web server, and an application server. These components are not actually part of the business solution, but are required to support the application program. These components are generally called middleware. The task of obtaining, installing, configuring, and supporting the middleware components is often a complex process for the solution provider, who currently has to absorb the cost of setting up the environment as well as developing and deploying their application. The provider has to work with multiple suppliers who have multiple terms and conditions, different license structures, and multiple departments to manage contracts and support structures, all of which leads to added infrastructure costs and inefficiency. IBM designed the Express Runtime offering to significantly reduce complexity for the providers by offering a pre-integrated and pre-configured middleware solution with a single contract, one license, one set of contracts, and a very competitive price. This redbook describes Express Runtime, V2.1.1, in which you get WebSphere Application Server - Express, database options of DB2® UDB Express or Informix Dynamic Server, and IBM HTTP Server with a single install. This single product provides a significantly lower cost compared to purchasing the individual components. Express Runtime includes quick start samples, documentation to get you up and running quickly and easily, and an improved console for managing applications and associated middleware. The redbook IBM Express Runtime V2.1, SG24-6674, remains available as it includes application examples in addition to the ones shown in this redbook.
