Next-generation solutions that accelerate Java application modernization

IBM JSphere Suite for Java is a purpose-built suite designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing IBM® WebSphere® technology stack. Choose flexible fully-managed or customer-managed runtime options and simplify transformation through automation and gen AI. Create, scale and secure applications faster while reducing cloud migration risk, cost and complexity.

Flexible deployment strategy

Easily address Java 8 security and compliance issues in the cloud, on-premises or continue support with open library. Choose the deployment and target runtime environment that best aligns with your strategy.

Modernize your applications

Application Modernization Accelerator automates the discovery, planning and prioritization of your migration, helping to reduce cost and effort by 80%.1

Boost developer productivity

Increase developer productivity by up to 31%2 with modern runtime environments, such as Liberty, that are modular and efficient. These environments yield faster startup times, better resource utilization and a more engaging developer experience.

Cut costs. Enhance sustainability.

Dramatically reduce runtime compute requirements by up to 80% disk and 50%+ memory savings.3

Featured capabilities

Streamline your modernization strategy supported by automation and gen AI, and leverage new and enhanced runtime environments and tools to accelerate innovation while improving productivity, operations and infrastructure utilization.
