I'm new to Bluemix, but fairly skilled in WebSphere Application Server. I recently heard colleagues discussing the potential of IBM hosting an app server in the cloud. I saw this Beta announcement and was wondering how long the beta will last and if there's an actual product/service available.

Not only can you provision the latest versions of WebSphere Application Server Liberty profile and WebSphere Application Server classic (aka full profile or traditional WebSphere Application Server), now you can also get an early look at the next release with the WebSphere Application Server classic V9 beta. You can provision a virtual machine with an instance of WebSphere Application Server v9 beta running in Bluemix. Details on this open beta are available in the WebSphere Early Programs website:

Or get a quick overview by watching this video Introducing the WAS classic V9 beta:
