InferData in Action

 

Hello,

 

Some businesses typically start to slow down as they approach the holiday season. Historically, this is actually a busy time for InferData, and this year is no different. We’re offering several popular courses in our November and December [public schedule]

 

Unni Krishnan, InferData partner, participated in the recent WebSphere Advisor Live conference. And, based upon the probing questions that were posed by the audience in Unni’s talk, there’s clearly a growing interest in the topic of performance tuning, and particularly how to best apply the available performance enhancing tools. If you share this interest, then contact us to learn more about our expertise and consulting services in this area.

 

Web Services is in vogue once again, as Sun just released the Java Web Services Developer Pack (Java WSDP) 1.5 – this release contains XML Web Services Security, a preview of the Sun Java Streaming XML Parser based on JSR 173, as well as updates to existing web services technologies previously released in the Java WSDP, and guidelines for developing client side web services. The FREE download is [available here]

IBM Tightens up WebSphere

News.com

October 5, 2004

IBM is expected to disclose on Wednesday features of the forthcoming version of its WebSphere application server, which will center on improving performance and administration.

 

WebSphere Application Server 6, the company's Java-based server software for running business applications, will be available before the end of the year, the company said. Big Blue had added a number of enhancements designed to make the software more reliable in case of outages and simpler to manage once applications are running.

 

The update will also bear the first fruits of IBM's strategy to beef up its standards-based integration software. The company has rewritten the Java-based messaging engine included in WebSphere and developed tools to simplify the task of wiring applications together via messaging.

 

IBM's primary competitors in the Java application servers are BEA Systems, which is trying to stabilize itself after two disappointing quarters and the departure of several executives, and Oracle, which analysts say is seeing growth in its market share. The market is getting increasingly competitive as Sun Microsystems makes its bid to garner more customers and developers seek open-source alternatives, such as JBoss, to commercial Java application servers. - Read More

New Internal IBM Report Says "Another Flawed Study"

WebSphere Journal

October, 2004

After publicly retracting the results of J2EE versus .NET benchmark tests it conducted back in 2002, The Middleware Company (TMC) bravely ventured recently to revisit this minefield. From IBM's point of view, according to an internal document obtained today by WebSphere Journal, TMC has managed to blow itself up all over again!

 

The latest Middleware Company study is flawed and does not accurately reflect the capability of WebSphere J2EE vs. Microsoft .NET. Like two previous discredited Middleware Company studies, this study was funded by Microsoft. While expert Microsoft programmers were allowed to contribute to the .NET side, neither IBM nor other WebSphere J2EE product experts were invited to contribute to the testing. - Read More
