Abstract
Cameron Purdy will discuss applications development considerations for maximum scalable performance and reliability in clustered J2EE environments. This presentation focuses on improving scalability and scalable performance of applications through the use of clustered caching to reliably share live data among clustered JVMs in the application tier, providing transparent fail-over as a key element of uninterrupted operation and reduced load on the database tier as a key element of scalability.
This presentation will focus on:
*Caching Topologies: the limitations, trade-offs, and benefits
*Cache aside, read/write through and write behind architectures, where and when to use
*Use cases and a topology quiz
*The 12 essential lessons
