Maintain, modernize and build—enterprise application flexibility, redefined
Overview
Power flexible Java deployments
IBM Enterprise Application Runtimes (EAR) is an enterprise-ready software bundle to help you scale smarter with no lock-ins and no limits. Whether you want to maintain your existing IBM WebSphere operational model or move to a cloud-based environment, IBM EAR is designed to satisfy your unique use cases. In addition to this license and subscription flexibility, IBM EAR recognizes the power of choice in selecting the most appropriate runtime for different workloads and developer needs.
Features
Capabilities available within the bundle
Application Modernization Accelerator (AMA) uses automation to visualize and assess your application estate. It builds a comprehensive migration plan with insights into the effort, cost and complexity for your target runtime. Run AMA anywhere, on-prem, hybrid or cloud and take your legacy applications to your future estate with confidence.
Build more quickly with a flexible and developer-friendly runtime for enterprise Java applications running on bare metal, in VMs, containers and across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. With extensive support for popular frameworks and standards, its revolutionary architecture frees applications from future code and configuration changes while ensuring technical currency.
Manage Liberty workloads via WebSphere ND together with traditional WebSphere applications using wsadmin, Admin Console and scripts. This allows your applications to leverage the features and capabilities of newer Java SE and EE versions while maintaining existing operations with WebSphere ND. EAR also enables development with WAS and Red Hat JBoss EAP.
Users can create their own microservice architecture, regardless of skill level or technical knowledge. This offers a faster, less disruptive way to retain code and refactor monolithic applications into microservices. Users can analyze the application to understand the runtime behavior and explore the partition recommendations in the graph view. They can then generate code to get the wanted class configuration running on a modern runtime, such as Liberty.
