Modernize Existing Applications with IBM Transformation Advisor and IBM Cloud Pak for Applications


What s WebSphere Liberty?

IBM WebSphere® Liberty is a Java™ EE application server with a low-overhead Java runtime environment designed for cloud-native applications and microservices. WebSphere Liberty was created to be highly composable, start fast, use less memory, and scale easily.

The Total Economic Impact study from Forrester Research shows that Liberty can increase developer productivity, simplify administration and maximize infrastructure utilization.

The WebSphere Liberty architecture shares the same code base as the open sourced Open Liberty (link resides outside IBM) server runtime, which provides additional benefits such as low-cost experimentation, customization and seamless migration from open source to production.
