Intelligent Management

Use Intelligent Management for application edition management, intelligent routing, application server health management, and to improve performance by using dynamic clustering and overload protection. You can prepare the hosting environment for dynamic operations, manage application editions, monitor operations, configure Intelligent Management to work with other IBM® products, and so on.

With application edition management, you can verify that a new version of your application works in your production environment before sending real traffic to it. You can manage the health of your application server environment with a policy-driven approach that allows action to be taken when monitored criteria is met. With dynamic clusters, automatically scale up and down the number of running cluster members as needed in order to meet response time goals for your users. With overload protection, limit the rate at which the on-demand router (ODR) forwards traffic to application servers in order to prevent heap exhaustion, CPU exhaustion, or both types of exhaustion from occurring.
