Albert Leigh's Weblog: Sun IBM WebSphere Solution Architect

Solaris is the leading UNIX platform for deploying enterprise WebSphere applications. If you are interested in connecting up with the top engineers for WebSphere On Solaris (IBM WebSphere, Sun JVM, Solaris, SPARC, CMT, etc.), please join this group on LinkedIn.

This is a global networking group open to all professionals (e.g. architects, technologists, engineers, administrators, users, managers, etc.) who work with IBM WebSphere products on Sun's Solaris Operating System. Members may network with each other, discuss and share ideas, techniques, tools, issues, etc. pertaining to deployment, configuration, performance, and management of WebSphere products, Sun JVM, and Solaris.

Here is a great article that was published by the IBM WebSphere Portal Performance team in collaboration with my colleague, Daniel Edwin, of Sun ISV Engineering.

The paper discusses about WebSphere Portal Server v6.1 performance and scalability on Solaris 10 running on the T5240 (Chip Multi-Threading (CMT) based) server and how to configure and deploy a number instances using the Solaris Container technology.

This blog entry contains a "Recap of JavaOne 2009" that I presented at the Austin Java Users Group in June 2009. It also provides the detail listings of the Hands-On Labs and links to download the lab materials.
