Overview

IBM(R) Runtimes for Business provides commercial support for open source JavaTM runtime environments, plus monitoring and management capabilities for Java applications.

OpenJDK support

Support is provided for community builds of OpenJDK that are in long-term support on the AdoptOpenJDK website. These community builds are available from the website for both server and workstation platforms. With this release, support is extended to include:

• A choice of Java virtual machines, now including HotSpot in addition to Eclipse OpenJ9. • OpenJDK 11, in addition to OpenJDK 8. • IcedTea-Web with OpenJDK 8 when installed through the AdoptOpenJDK installers. IcedTea-Web offers equivalent functionality to Java Web Start.

Runtimes for Business enables you to obtain support for specific servers and clients in your enterprise. Monthly and perpetual licenses are available for both server and client deployments. This flexible approach to licensing is typically less expensive than buying a single commercial license to cover all your Java installations.

Monitoring agents and data collectors are available for a variety of applications, including Java applications.

Statement of good security practices

IT system security involves protecting systems and information through intrusion prevention, detection, and response to improper access from within and outside your enterprise. Improper access can result in information being altered, destroyed, or misappropriated or can result in misuse of your systems to attack others. Without a comprehensive approach to security, no IT system or product should be considered completely secure and no single product or security measure can be completely effective in preventing improper access. IBM systems and products are designed to be part of a regulatory compliant, comprehensive security approach, which will necessarily involve additional operational procedures, and may require other systems, products, or services to be most effective.

Important: IBM does not warrant that any systems, products, or services are immune from, or will make your enterprise immune from, the malicious or illegal conduct of any party.
