Maximizing Performance and Scalability with IBM WebSphere is the only comprehensive performance management book focusing on WebSphere versions 4.0 and 5.0. The book addresses the operational aspects with both a proactive and reactive view. No other WebSphere book written focuses on ensuring that your implementation of WebSphere can scale and operate with such a high degree of performance. This book doesn't attempt to show you how to administer WebSphere. Instead, this reference walks you through proven steps to plan, design, implement, optimize, and manage your platform's performance and scalability. It focuses on proven architectures, optimization approaches, scalability considerations, and best practices for you to develop high-performing and scalable WebSphere-based applications in both Unix and Windows environments.
