IBM Software – WebSphere Remote Server – Features and benefits
WebSphere® Remote Server delivers a fully integrated platform to help manage remote environments. This infrastructure offering extends the IBM Enterprise Business Integration technology to distributed locations, enabling integration from the enterprise to the edge of your business.

WebSphere Remote Server V6.0, the core component of the IBM Store Integration Framework, is a pre-integrated, pre-tested package of IBM software products designed specifically to support the on demand store environment.

WebSphere Remote Server integrates diverse systems in the store, such as existing IBM Point-of-Sale (POS) applications and new POS solutions provided by IBM Business Partners, with the infrastructure to quickly deploy and manage new solutions built around the WebSphere Remote Server core. It links each store and the enterprise to help customers determine whether they have the right goods and services, in the right location, at the right price, and with the level of service and the unique shopping experience that consumers demand.

After clients deploy remote server software at their stores, they can select separately available extensions to run on the server, based on their individual needs. For example, if a retailer needs to integrate their current POS system with the rest of the store applications (fuel pumps, kiosks, and so on), they can get the POS Extension and deploy it on the store servers. If they can implement digital video surveillance, they can implement the Digital Media Extension on the servers. This capability enables clients to use the server for today’s needs, while also positioning them for future implementations, such as the rollout of RFID technology and mobile devices.
