[WSO2Con2013] WSO2 Carbon Product Performance and Deployment Topology Sizing

Performance is a key constraint limiting business transaction processing volume, transaction responsiveness, and an application solution’s ability to fulfill SLAs (Service Level Agreements). Both consumer and partner facing applications often must process large transaction volumes with high throughput and low latency. Architecture and deployment topology significantly impacts whether an application or service solution will meet business transaction processing goals.

JMX Monitoring with WSO2 BAM

JMX can be used to monitor and/or manage both local and remote Java applications, devices, and service-driven networks. It can be used to load, initialize, change, and monitor an application and its distributed components. The functionality of JMX is exposed via one or more managed beans (MBeans). A JMX client can access the state of the MBean using the public methods that the MBean provides.

Configuring WSO2 ESB and IBM WebSphere MQ using RefFSContextFactory

Store and forward is a common messaging pattern used in Messaging and Service Integration. In order to implement delivery reliability and asynchronous delivery with messaging, a Message Broker is used. WebSphere MQ is such a message broker from IBM Cooperation. In this article we discuss the steps on how to configure WSO2 ESB with WebSphere MQ to work remotely. Using the discussed configuration, messages can be routed to WebSphere MQ from the WSO2 ESB as well as receive them into the ESB.

[WSO2Con2013] Sharpening the Spearpoint: Empowering the Edge Through SOA

This presentation provides a case study of a program that leveraged the power and cost effective nature of WSO2’s open source SOA platform to achieve a dramatic reduction in sustainment and development costs, elimination of hardware and software redundancies, significant improvements in interoperability and information chain management, and, most importantly, the achievement of a dramatically shortened targeting to engagement cycle.

[WSO2Con2013] Keynote: Cloud Computing Powered By Platform as a Service

Platform as a service is the way to build innovative and differentiated cloud solutions, but beware of false PaaS. IT decision makers must understand the trade-offs in choosing the platform technology before investing in strategic cloud initiatives.

  • How will PaaS evolve to best serve users’ business requirements?
  • How will vendors compete for leadership in the cloud platform market?
  • What best practices will emerge for using PaaS to build modern software solutions?
