Variations
  • ED550 offers a combination of ED500 (Basic Adminsitration) & ED510 (Advanced Administration) as a week long (5 day) course. This combination saves a day off of the combined course durations, and is valuable for administrators who are new to WebSphere, but need to understand the full capabilities of the Base and Network Deployment products.
  • ED520 covers just the troubleshooting and performance aspects of WebSphere Application Server. This course is useful for administrators who already feel comfortable with the installation & configuration aspects of WAS, and who are looking for additional skills in the area of monitoring
