WebSphere Application Server Horizontal Versus Vertical JVM Stacking Report
The following paper is available at : developerWorks (pdf) http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/linux390/perf/tuning_webapp.html#hv TechDocs (pdf) http://www.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/WP102077 IBM Information Center for Linux (html) http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/lnxinfo/v3r0m0/topic/liaag/l0wasg00_2012.htm This paper presents performance data for a test that compares the effects of stacking 200 WebSphere Application Servers. The question is whether it is better to host all WebSphere Application Servers on a single (vertical stacking) z/VM® guest, or distribute the servers across multiple guests (horizontal stacking). As an additional test, the use of shared mini-disks or a DCSS for the WebSphere installation was analyzed, to determine if there are criteria that favor one or the other setup.
