Overview and key concepts

 

This chapter provides a conceptual overview of the goals and issues associated with scaling applications in the WebSphere environment. It also presents the various techniques that can be used to implement scaling.

A short section highlights the performance improvements of WAS V5.1 over previous V5.x versions (see Performance improvements over previous versions).

A prerequisite for all WebSphere scalability and workload management concepts discussed in this redbook is the use of IBM WAS Network Deployment V5.1 or IBM WAS Enterprise V5.1. We assume the use of IBM WAS Network Deployment throughout this book. Prev | Home | Next
