Overly Complex Licensing

IBM WebSphere’s complex licensing and product tiers drive up costs without clear value – it’s time for a cloud-native alternative.

Challenging Migration Path

Migrating legacy WS-Security runtime, proprietary Db2 drivers, and workload routing rules feels risky and time-consuming.

Configuration & Timeline Risk

Without expert help, converting configuration and avoiding cutover pressure can stall your move to Payara.

IBM WebSphere Application Server → Payara Server migration — your questions answered

How do you handle legacy WebSphere WS-Security configurations?+

Our engineers analyze your existing WS-Security runtime extensions and map them to Payara’s equivalent security mechanisms, preserving your Application behavior without custom workarounds.

Can you migrate our IBM Db2 integration that uses proprietary WebSphere drivers?+

Yes. We assess your Db2 connectivity and convert proprietary WAS drivers to standard JDBC drivers compatible with Payara, maintaining data type integrity and performance.

What happens to our WebSphere workload management routing rules?+

Absolutely. We translate your existing routing rules into Payara’s clustering and load-balancing configuration, ensuring your Application’s traffic management stays intact.

Do we need to cut over by our vendor renewal date?+

Your legacy platform stays under vendor support as long as your contract is active. If the renewal lapses, our independent third-party support covers most operational issues while you complete the migration on your timeline.
