WebSphere refers to a brand of IBM software products that are mostly proprietary[1], although the term also popularly refers to one specific product: WebSphere Application Server (WAS). A brand is a collection of Images and ideas representing an economic producer more specifically it refers to the descriptive verbal attributes and concrete symbols such as a International Business Machines Corporation abbreviated IBM and nicknamed "Big Blue", is a multinational Computer Technology Proprietary software is Computer software on which the producer has set restrictions on use private modification copying, or republishing. IBM WebSphere Application Server ( WAS) a software Application server, is the flagship product within IBM 's WebSphere brand WebSphere helped define the middleware software category and is designed to set up, operate, and integrate e-business applications across multiple computing platforms using Web technologies. Middleware is computer Software that connects Software components or applications Electronic Business, commonly referred to as " eBusiness " or " e-Business " may be defined as the utilisation of information and communication The World Wide Web (commonly shortened to the Web) is a system of interlinked Hypertext documents accessed via the Internet. It includes both the run-time components (like WAS) and the tools to develop applications that will run on WAS.
