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

WebSphere BatchComplete enterprise level Java batch processing solution with WebSphere Application Server 8.5

Lower TCO: Concurrent execution of batch & online transaction processing

(OLTP) workloads using shared business logic on a shared infrastructure;

Eliminate Batch Windows: Run batch 24X7 along with OLTP workloads

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

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.”
