In addition to Java, WebSphere supports open standard interfaces such as the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) and Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) and is designed for use across different operating system platforms. One edition of WebSphere is offered for small-to-medium size businesses and another edition for larger businesses with a higher number of transactions. WebSphere also includes Studio, a developer's environment with additional components that allow a Web site's pages to be created and managed. Both editions support Solaris, Windows NT, OS/2, OS/390, and AIX operating systems.
