The availability of the WebSphere Application Server as an AMI on Amazon's EC2 complements the recently announced WebSphere Application Server for Developers edition (available as a download) as both provide low-cost, low-risk ways to experiment with the robust WebSphere Application Server environment. The no-cost development download for WebSphere Application Server satisfies the needs for projects that don't warrant the expense of a priced and supported runtime on the developer desktop.

The availability of the WebSphere eXtreme Scale as an AMI on Amazon's EC2 allows for the development of innovative types of applications by extending the data caching concept using advanced features in the creation of new classes of high-performance applications.
