Overview

The WebSphere® eXtreme Scale Liberty Deployment provides Liberty caching servers, caching operation tools, an administration console, and the out-of-the-box REST administration services based on the latest industry standards and specifications. XSLD is built based on the core eXtreme Scale technology.

WebSphere eXtreme Scale Liberty Deployment (XSLD) provides more features and extensions such as cloud enablement, speed of deployment, ease of administration, and ease of integration, and customizable scripts and REST APIs. XSLD runs within the IBM® Liberty runtime environment. The main components are:

  • WebSphere eXtreme Scale caching service and servers

  • Administrative REST services

  • Operational REST services

  • Multi-tenancy processes

Some of the main highlights of XSLD are:

  • An easy-to-deploy, easy-to-configure distributed caching solution based on eXtreme Scale technology
  • The latest IBM Liberty technology;
  • Simple and easy to use administrative console.
  • Out-of-the-box administrative REST API and caching operational REST API in order to scale your caching environment up or down through the console or with REST APIs.
  • Full customization to support all eXtreme Scale caching use cases
  • Easily configurable and integrates within your caching environment in minutes via the out-of-the-box scripts and tools
