JBoss EAP 5.0 What's New

Intelligent HTTP Load Balancing with mod_cluster

Intelligent software HTTP load balancer
Based on mod_proxy, mod_ajp
Load-balancing logic uses App. Server generated Metrics / Events
Memory Usage, active sessions, application disabled, server
shutdown, etc.
8 Standard Metrics provided, write your own
Uses MCMP (Mod Cluster Management Protocol)
Uses Discovery to reduce static dependencies

EAP 5.1 (in productization, nominally August 2010)

Common Criteria Certification (EAL 4+)

HornetQ 2.1 optional JMS provider
Apache CXF optional WS stack
Performance (Messaging & Transactions)
Availability of RPMs via RHN
Certified on Amazon EC2 (post GA)

2017

JBoss EAP 5.1

HornetQ 2.1

Won't be the default JMS provider

Will be fully-supported

Performance and scalability

Message persistence via file-based journal

Uses Linux AIO if available, NIO otherwise

Doesn't require slow / expensive database

SPECjms2007 results

300% more message throughput than ActiveMQ 5.3

Another Red Hat sponsored submission coming ...

JBoss EAP 5.1

HornetQ 2.1

Huge Queue Size

Can far exceed available memory

8Gb Messages have been tested

Limit is journal disk availability

Pluggable Transport

TPC, SSL, HTTP, in-JVM, Servlet

STOMP Support

Makes it easy to write a client in .NET, C / C++, PHP,

Perl, Python, Ruby, JavaScript.

Infinispan
Rethinking the data-tier

Cost, scale-out (multi-Tb / Pb), data-inflation, Cloud

Lower-cost OSS alternatives to Oracle, DB2, etc.

MySQL, MariaDB, Drizzle XtraDB, Maria, Falcon

Postgres / Enterprise DB, Ingres

Document, Key-value and column-based stores :

CouchDB, BDB, BigTable, Scalaris, Tokyo Cabinet, Voldemort, Cassandra,

HBase

Distributed Data Grids

RAM - High Bandwidth, Low Latency : 100ns vs Disk 10ms

Non-blocking reads => performance & throughput

Data Proximity

Largely un-intrusive

Summary

Cloud and utility computing a reality.

We're moving aggressively from static monolithic
middleware to dynamic use-case specific profiles

Ultimately throw your app. at the deployment

environment and we'll determine what you need.

Re-thinking the data-tier Distributed Caches will

become mainstream over the next 2 years
We care deeply about operational efficiency, developer
productivity these are big investment areas for us.
