Application Infrastructure Trends
Rapid application development and delivery driving
simplified, integrated and automated development and
operations lifecycles
The combination of huge transaction volumes against
massive amounts of data with little tolerance for delays is
driving the need for elastic caching technologies
Use of cloud delivery models to provide elasticity, scale,
multi-tenancy and context across different form factors and
access methods
Explosion of mobile, social and cloud applications
driving new demands on middleware infrastructures

Health Management – Health Policies
� Health policies can be defined for common server health conditions
� When a health policy's condition is true, corrective action execute automatically or require approval
• Notify administrator (send email or SNMP trap)
• Capture diagnostics (generate heap dump, java core)
• Restart server
� Excessive response time means you are monitoring what matters most: your customer's experience!
� Application server restarts are done in a way that prevent outages and service policy violations
� Each health policy can be in supervise or automatic mode. Supervise mode is like training wheels to allow you to verify that a health policy does what you want before making it automatic.
Helps mitigate common health problems before outages occur
Health Conditions
• Excessive request timeouts: % of timed out requests
• Excessive response time: average response time
• Excessive garbage collection: % of time spent in GCs
• Excessive memory: % of maximum JVM heap size
• Age-based: amount of time server has been running
• Memory leak: JVM heap size after garbage collection
• Storm drain: significant drop in response time
• Workload: total number of requests
2020
� Upgrade Applications without
interruption to end users
� Concurrently run multiple editions of an application
• Automatically route users to a specific application
� Multiple editions can be activated for
extended periods of time
� Rollout policies to switch from one edition to another without service loss
� Easily update OS or WebSphere
without incurring down time
� Easy-to-use edition control center in admin console, plus full scripting support
Application Edition ManagementUpgrade Applications without incurring outages
21
� Requests are prioritized and routed based upon administrator defined
rules
• Flexible policy-based routing and control
� On Demand Router (ODR) is the focal point for Intelligent Routing
� Applies sophisticated classification and flow control algorithms
� A routing tier that’s aware of what’s happening on the application server tier
• Application server utilization, request performance, etc…
� Route work to the application server that can do it best
� Provide preference for higher priority requests
� Integrates with Health Management and Dynamic Clustering
Intelligent RoutingImprove business results by ensuring priority is given to business critical applications
2222
� Associate service policies with your applications
• Let WebSphere manage to the service goals
� Programmatically respond to spikes in demand
• Add or reduce application server instances as appropriate
� Automatically recover from infrastructure problems
� Includes automatic start and stop of cluster members based on load
� Decrease administrative overhead required to monitor and diagnose performance issues
Dynamic ClusteringProactively provision and start or stop application servers based on workload demands to meet Service Level Agreements
23

Caching for “Flash Loads”
Caching in a Mobile World
� eXtreme Scale or XC10 provide an
elastic grid for the cache that is shared
by all servers for mobile applications.
� Cache or Crash! WXS and XC10

Loads
� Larger cache capacity with faster
response times.
� Benefits of High Availability and overall
performance gains
“The advent of mobile browsers and
mobile applications on devices like
the iPhone, Android and Blackberry
are changing this load profile.”
