Title: Red Hat Application Stack Customer Case Study: UCLM

Presenter: Antonio Labian Moya

Company: University of Castilla La Mancha

Abstract: Deploying Jboss/jBPM based portals for small local authorities has resource and security constraints.

Our objective is to deploy as much as possible portals on the same hardware, however, due to data protection legislation and to enhance security, these portals ought to be isolated.

Our portals are based on the same technology, with multiple modules as WAR from different providers. The portals has been developed with JSP and POJO over Jboss/jBPM. MySQL was selected as database, and  Fedora Core as OS.

We performed stress-tests, with 3000 complete processes petitions on 9 portals. The test include virtualization scenarios with XEN and Vmware server, chroot jails, multiple JBoss/jBPM instances on the same machine, and one JBoss/jBPM instance with multiple portals.

They indicate that the big constraint of these configurations is memory usage, specially when using virtualization. Our best option in this moment is multiple JBoss/jBPM instances on the same machine, however there is still a big memory and cpu waste. We know that the optimal is one JBoss with one jBPM, but this can’t be done due to isolation problems.

As a conclusion, we propose to implement a virtual jBPM enviroment, where multiple applications could run isolated.

Title: Performance Tuning JBoss on Linux

Presenter: Chris Mills

Company: JBoss, a division of Red Hat

Abstract: This session is aimed at highlighting the areas you need to show attention too during your application development cycle.  We will show you when to think about performance tuning your application, how to set performance goals, measure and then achieve those goals.  We will cover all aspects of tuning from network level buffers to database concurrency to tuning of the JBoss Application Server.  We will explain how memory is managed by the JVM and how to go about tuning the JVM for you application.  While the session includes examples of how to go about tuning for Linux a lot of the principals are true across all operating systems.  Likewise we will show examples of performance tuning the Sun JVM but these may also apply to other vendors JVMs

Title: Introduction to Red Hat & JBoss: Maximizing Competitive Advantage with Enterprise Open Source Software

Presenter: Shaun Connolly

Company: Red Hat & JBoss

Abstract: Open source is changing the way software is built, distributed, and supported. In the enterprise market in particular, open source’s impact has been profound and global on scale. Not only is open source software (OSS) challenging proprietary software vendors, but it is also turning the customer-vendor relationship on its head. This session will cover the effects of open source on software quality, the customer-vendor relationship, and technology commoditization. This presentation will focus on the enterprise application infrastructure market and how savvy IT organizations are gaining a competitive advantage by standardizing on OSS in their IT infrastructure.
