Maximizing Performance and Scalability with IBM WebSphere is the only comprehensive performance management book focusing on WebSphere versions 4.0 and 5.0. The book addresses the operational aspects with both a proactive and reactive view. No other WebSphere book written focuses on ensuring that your implementation of WebSphere can scale and operate with such a high degree of performance.

This book doesn t attempt to show you how to administer WebSphere. Instead, this reference walks you through proven steps to plan, design, implement, optimize, and manage your platform s performance and scalability. It focuses on proven architectures, optimization approaches, scalability considerations, and best practices for you to develop high-performing and scalable WebSphere-based applications in both Unix and Windows environments.
