In fact, for the last 20 years processor performance has consistently doubled about every two years or so. What would happen in a world where these performance improvements suddenly slowed dramatically or even stopped? Could we continue to build bigger and heavier, feature-rich software? Would it be time to pack up our compilers and go home?<p><a href="http://jstancox.sys-con.com/node/419716" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Mon, 27 Aug 2007 16:30:00 EDT http://jstancox.sys-con.com/node/419716 http://jstancox.sys-con.com/node/419716#feedback http://jstancox.sys-con.com/node/358048 One of the greatest strengths of Java Platform 2, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) application servers is the ability to scale solutions to meet increased performance and availability demands. The inherent clustering and failover capabilities built into products such as the IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment Edition take care of most of the dirty work; however, there are important application considerations that can't be overlooked. If an application isn't designed for cluster awareness, functional or performance issues can surface when deploying your application to a cluster.<p><a href="http://jstancox.sys-con.com/node/358048" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Fri, 06 Apr 2007 15:00:00 EDT http://jstancox.sys-con.com/node/358048 http://jstancox.sys-con.com/node/358048#feedback
