Exploring IBM E-Business Software

This detailed look at IBM’s software products for e-business enables IBM users to gain a fundamental understanding of e-business architecture, where IBM software products fit into that architecture, and where to go to get more information. The main products and platforms for development tools and components, application server software, and secure network and management software are described. This book also distinguishes between two or more IBM software products that appear to serve the same purpose but really have different applications. Key products covered include DB2, Web Sphere, Lotus Domino, and Tivoli. This replaces 1885068581.
