We have recently had IBM come in and asses our 5.1.1 environment. They have recommended that we move to 6.1 ND with load balancing (edge server?).
I was wondering if anyone can give opinions on--
Running WAS 6.1 on 64 bit server 2003: is WAS 64 bit or does it run as a 32 bit app? Any caveats/issues?
Is edge server really worth it or can a hardware load balancer accomplish the same goal? With this wonderful new VU style of pricing our price for edge server is coming out to $20K for 2 servers + hardware. I am pretty sure I can get a radware, foundry box for less than this.
Is anyone using Object Grid? How pleased/displeased with it?
Any other opinions on this environment would be appreciated. Our environment involves WAS integrating with Microsoft SQL and iSeries backends.
