Proliferation of SOAApplications become more compositeSOA service reuse makes load volatile

Adoption of Resource SharingHardware utilization risesResourcing can be more dynamic

Rise of Cloud ComputingExpanded sharing of services requires self-

service, elastic capacity, automation

Trends and Implications


“The maturation of application infrastructure virtualization technologies that enable

dynamic, automated provisioning of EAS [application server]-based applications on

grid-like clusters of commodity servers will support cloud-like, cost-optimized,

elastic scalability”

Agenda



Trend: Memory Is Becoming Very Inexpensive…but Java needs help in using it


Source: pricescan.com

• Memory is becoming exponentially cheaper

• Many applications are memory-constrained

• Traditional approaches alone can’t make effective use of huge memory

Solution: Coherence In-Memory Data GridCache huge data-sets in memory of many machines

• Memory spans multiple machines

• Automatically partition and exploit all memory

• Reliability through redundancy

• Performance through parallelization

• Add/remove nodes dynamically

• Scale linearly to thousands of nodes
