State of IBM WebSphere Software
IBM's WebSphere web server and development platform family of software has been emerging as the software of choice for Fortune 1000 companies, government municipalities, and healthcare providers. WebSphere leverages IBM's mainframe system software, strategic WebSphere MQ middleware, and proprietary legacy programming languages - primarily COBOL, Assembler, PL/1, FORTRAN, and REXX. However, IBM software is also well positioned to allow for scalable upgrades from open source web server software and hybrid implementation based upon evolving internetworking infrastructures.

The current release of WAS: WebSphere Application Server is J2EE 1.5- compliant platform for assembling, deploying, and managing applications that are part of an SOA environment. WAS is the foundation of the IBM WebSphere software platform and offers Feature Packs as well as complementary technologies for management including WebSphere Virtual Enterprise, WebSphere Extended Deployment Compute Grid, and WebSphere eXtreme Scale. IBM commercial WAS offerings, feature a consistent end-to-end architecture and programming model. There are multiple products targeting different markets; however, there is a great deal of commonality, which allows for simplified management, reduced operational complexity, and increased flexibility. IBM also has an association with the Apache Geronimo open source application server.

The major editions of WebSphere Application Server are:

Source - http://www.spec.org/jAppServer2004/ and review of industry white papers.
SPECjAppServer2004 is a client/server benchmark for measuring the performance of a representative J2EE application and each of the components that make up the application environment.

JOPS stands for Java Operations Per Second; meaningful statistics in assessing web server performance are Java Operations per Second and Java Operations per Second per Processor Cores.

Based upon these statistics, IBM WebSphere offers the best overall performance. David Silverberg and Jonathan Clarke have been assessing the validity of the statistics and the underlying assumptions of this benchmark information in a variety of hardware and hybrid software environments.

No open source application server benchmarks have been submitted to SPEC.


IBM web applications infrastructure family offers a stable and predictable roadmap with incremental enhancements that build on a longstanding and well established portfolio of applications. The IBM commercial WAS products have a shared architecture, this translates into developer investments in applications which can be repurposed across the commercial WAS offerings as circumstances dictate. Applications originally written for and deployed on a WAS Express for Windows server can be moved without any coding changes to any other WAS server, including WAS for z/OS. Each application can be migrated since all commercial WAS offerings are built on the same code base. This also contributes to easier administration and improved developer productivity.

The major competition in the web server market for IBM WebSphere is Oracle Corporation's: Oracle Application Server and BEA WebLogic Server.

 
SYS-ED Approach to WebSphere Training
SYS-ED offers a comprehensive WebSphere curriculum of industry standard and consultancy derived content. Our staff of systems consultants have been working with WebSphere since its initial release and have multiplatform expertise both on IBM software and hybrid proprietary and open source environments. SYS-ED's WebSphere educational consultancy is built upon our 25+ years experience in evolutionary IT: Microsoft internetworks, UNIX-variants, scalable databases, and client/server programming. As standard component of our WebSphere courses is the installation of a prototyping environment which affords clients the opportunity to assess a variety of WebSphere server configurations and the trade-offs involved in selecting an implementation which meets specific operational objectives. In addition to IBM's original WASD, our Java training teaches the Eclipse and Rational development environments. Upon completion of the training, clients are welcome to submit WebSphere questions. Courses can be taken as part of an integrated program or a la carte. Delivery of content is available in a traditional classroom, distance-learning medium, or client presentation system.

The courseware used in SYS-ED's WebSphere training extends the IBM documentation and provides insights and guidance into the underlying architecture and protocols, program logic and sample programs which have been validated on consulting projects. And in this day and age with inter mixing and hybrid implementations of open standards and IBM systems software, reference material which “explains and demonstrates” is fundamental to effective knowledge transfer.

Evolving IT - Interrelated Technologies

Information technology training for business enterprise is more complex and challenging than ever before. Organization’s have a huge investment in infrastructure and applications specific to their operations. There are new industry standard protocols, web server and web enabled technologies and development platforms which require development from scratch and/or integration with the existing system software and enterprise databases. There will be long term implications regarding the strategic mix of proprietary and open source software which is selected, along with decisions on whether to maintain and upgrade the existing legacy applications, many of which are now thirty or more years of age; while retrofitting and transitioning to the new technologies. SYS-ED trained a significant portion of the first generation of DP personnel. And looks forward to training their IT successors in the 21st century.

WebSphere Courses
SYS-ED's WebSphere courses are tough, but they're worth it. Our challenging "hands-on" WebSphere training provides a foundation and framework for Fortune 1000 companies, government municipalities, healthcare providers, software houses, and consulting companies to train their own WebSphere staff and acquire specialized interrelated expertise in IT technology.

Courseware
SYS-ED's WebSphere courseware is highly respected in the IT field.  We draw upon our extensive library of courseware, sample programs and case studies to explain, demonstrate, and teach a combination of industry standard and consultancy derived WebSphere content. Our WebSphere curriculum are updated to include the new development environments and expanded featureset. We have the capability to provide design guidelines and programming examples across a comprehensive range of base operating platforms - MS Windows, UNIX variants, and hybrid internetworking implementations.

Teaching is Our Business
Most computer training companies are divisions of large software or consulting companies. Not SYS-ED. Our only goal is to provide quality computer training for highly motivated professionals - no more and no less. Because we're independent, we're free to concentrate on teaching - and since 1980 we have been doing it very well.

Our Teachers Know How to Teach
SYS-ED instructors combine teaching skills with broad practical experience as consultants. Our system consultants have been working with WebSphere since its initial release and equally as important average 30 years of experience in enterprise information technology: operating systems, administration, and programming. And they know how to teach it. We teach not only "how to", but "why", building a solid foundation in fundamentals and insights into advanced subject matter. After a course, they're available to answer questions.

Enrollment - SYS-ED WebSphere Courses are NOT for Everyone
No one is allowed to enroll in a SYS-ED WebSphere course, without a consultation with our Director of Education.  We review the operational objectives and project specifications for the organization evaluating whether to send its employee for the training. The employee is ONLY allowed to register if they have the background corresponding to the appropriate learning path: WebSphere, WebSphere MQ, or Java.

WebSphere Training in New York, at Your Office, or via the Web
SYS-ED WebSphere courses are held at our modern, fully equipped training centers in Manhattan and in conjunction with training partners in North America and Europe. If you prefer, we'll arrange tailored WebSphere training on-site at your organization’s facilities inclusive of mobile computer classroom set-up. On-site courses can include the identical workshops, case studies, and hands-on approach as the WebSphere training we offer in New York.

For additional information including outlines, availability of private courses, references, and course customization, contact David Shapiro at our New York office at 212-564-9147 or register online.
