WebSphere Insights Reveals How to Run WebSphere Application Server (WAS) on World's Tiniest Computer
WebSphere Insights, a free, quarterly publication produced by Wellesley Information Services, today announced an article on how the WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile was able to run on Raspberry Pi, a computer no larger than a credit card.
DEDHAM, MA, January 12, 2013
In the story, "Liberty Profile serves up a healthy slice of business innovation with Raspberry Pi" , IBM Technology Evangelist Simon Maple explained how he came up with the idea to run the Liberty Profile on Raspberry Pi."Maple decided to showcase the lightweight, new Liberty Profile in the most exciting way possible," says Cara Hogan, Features Editor for WebSphere Insights. "He showed that it's possible to run middleware on an incredibly miniscule computer."
In an impressive demonstration, Maple was able to use the computer and WAS to control the lights and a water fountain on a home located 50 miles away. A video showcasing the project went viral last year and developers and tech enthusiasts alike were excited by the possibilities of this new advancement.
WebSphere Insights boasts a readership of thousands. The January issue has just been made available, and this article, along with many other articles on IBM WebSphere can be found on the magazine's website.
