Albert Leigh's Weblog: Sun IBM WebSphere Solution Architect

If you are attending the IBM Impact 2009 Conference from May 3-8, make sure you come see us at the Sun booth. We'll also be presenting and discussing about WebSphere performance on Solaris with our esteemed colleagues from various IBM WebSphere engineering groups. Here is the information about our BoF session:

Session ID: BOF-3174A
Session Time: Tue, May 5 12:00 PM - 01:00 PM

Bring your questions. Come enjoy lively discussions about WebSphere optimization techniques, Solaris and Sun JVM tuning, trouble shooting, problem analysis, Niagara Crypto provider, MQ/MB, etc.

See you there!

OpenSolaris on IBM Mainframe? It sure sounds interesting. Check this out here and here.

As you may already know, ZFS has been available on Solaris 10 since Update 2 (6/06) and it gets better with improvements as now we're at Update 4 (11/06).  So, I thought I just put this brief introductory to ZFS for IBM WebSphere users out there.

If you're not familiar with ZFS, I recommend you take a quick look at Sun or OpenSolaris websites.  In short, "ZFS presents a pooled storage model that completely eliminates the concept of volumes and the associated problems of partitions, provisioning, wasted bandwidth and stranded storage."
