IBMs statements regarding its plans, directions, and intent are subject to change
or withdrawal without notice at IBMs sole discretion.
Information regarding potential future products is intended to outline our general
product direction and it should not be relied on in making a purchasing decision.
The information mentioned regarding potential future products is not a
commitment, promise, or legal obligation to deliver any material, code or
functionality. Information about potential future products may not be incorporated
into any contract. The development, release, and timing of any future features or
functionality described for our products remains at our sole discretion.
Performance is based on measurements and projections using standard IBM
benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput or performance
that any user will experience will vary depending upon many factors, including
considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the users job stream,
the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed.
Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve results
similar to those stated here.

Agenda
What's New in Performance for V8.5
What's New in Performance for V.Next

Disclaimer
All Performance data presented in this presentation is gathered
in a controlled environment. Your own test results may vary
based on hardware, software or infrastructure differences
All data is meant to be used as a guide

Performance Analysis and Improvement Approach
We focus on a blend of complete system benchmarks and micro benchmarks
to isolate specific customer scenarios
Test on a blend of hardware platforms and OS levels
We cover all current hardware platforms to ensure performance
Drive to answer architectural issues and performance impacts of specific OS
We study the important aspects of performance to your business

New programmatic APIs ability to deliver on promise
Throughput and response time of the server under different loads
Resource utilization (CPU, memory, disk, network, etc)
Effect of adding processor (SMP/Vertical scaling)
Effect of adding nodes to a cluster (Horizontal scaling)
But we cant cover everything

Over 1000 different hardware and OS combinations are supported by WebSphere
Application Server

Transaction management
Database connectivity
Example of development best practices
Efficient and highly analyzed design, based on
MVC (Model / View / Controller) architecture.
Pedigree

server development teams
All code was designed, developed and reviewed
by IBM, Oracle, SAP, RedHat, and others

DayTrader Benchmark Simulates an online stock trading application.
Matches Java EE 5 specifications using JPA
Entities and EJB 3.0 Session Beans
Focuses on core Java EE technologies

including Servlets, JSPs, JDBC, JMS, and
EJBs (Stateless Session, CMP Entities, and
MDBs)
Run primarily in two modes:

JDBC Direct Servlets make JDBC calls
directly to the Database.
Full EJB Servlets drive load to Session
Beans and Entities to the Database.
Serves as the basis for other performance

scenarios including security, scalability, etc...

DayTrader 3 Benchmark
Servlet and DMAP caching
Cache data in various places in design (since most

account/profile info will not change)
Can use REST-based URL caching for Web 2.0 UI

and/or JAX-RS interfaces

User local calls between SLSBs to run workload in

single JVM
Split modules out onto separate servers using WS,

JAX-RS, JMS for inter-module communication and
