solution using standards-based Java™

and Extensible Markup Language (XML)

technologies. Using open Java-based

technologies and application program

interfaces (APIs), as well as the latest

XML technologies, IBM WebSphere

enables every company to leverage

its existing resources, shorten Internet

application development cycles and

reduce administrative overhead.

The powerful IBM AIX platform runs

some of the most complex commercial

and technical workloads in the world.

AIX runs across the entire range of the

IBM ^ pSeries™ systems, from

is accessible, available and secure.
