Description
This course provides a complete and practical guide to administering IBM WebSphere Network Deployment (ND) 8.5 and 9.0 in enterprise environments. It is designed for middleware administrators, DevOps engineers, system administrators, and IT professionals who want to gain strong hands-on knowledge of WebSphere administration from fundamentals to advanced production-level operations.
The course begins with the core architecture of WebSphere ND and explains how the Deployment Manager (DMGR), nodes, and application servers work together within a cell-based environment. You will learn how to install and configure WebSphere using IBM Installation Manager, create profiles, and understand the internal structure of cells, nodes, and servers.
As the course progresses, you will implement real-world administrative tasks used in production environments. You will learn how to build clusters for high availability and load balancing, deploy enterprise applications, manage application servers, and perform administrative tasks using the WebSphere administrative console and command-line tools.
Troubleshooting and performance tuning are also key areas covered in this training. You will learn how to analyze logs, identify common runtime issues, resolve deployment problems, and tune JVM settings for optimal performance. The course also covers SSL/TLS configuration to secure communication between WebSphere components and external clients.
Another important section focuses on migration strategies between WebSphere versions and best practices used during upgrades in enterprise infrastructures. Practical demonstrations will help you understand how migrations are performed safely while maintaining application stability.
By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently administer WebSphere ND environments, manage clusters, deploy applications, troubleshoot production issues, implement security configurations, and perform migrations.
This course includes step-by-step demonstrations, real-time administration scenarios, and best practices used by middleware administrators in enterprise environments.
Who this course is for:
- Beginners who want to start their journey in WebSphere Application Server administration from scratch.
- Students & freshers who want to strengthen core middleware concepts and prepare for interviews.
- Anyone curious about middleware who wants hands-on experience with WebSphere Application Server, IHS, Plugins, clustering, deployments, session replication, SSL
- IT professionals who want to revive and refresh concepts they learned earlier but want to see end-to-end implementation again.
- Working professionals (L1 admins) who want to upgrade to L2/L3 real-time WebSphere activities like clustering, SSL, troubleshooting, and performance tuning.
