WebSphere on AWS
WebSphere Application Server and eXtreme Scale now available on AWS
WebSphere image The development Amazon Machine Image (AMI) offers ISV's an easy, low-cost access to the fully compliant J2EE application server environment (only paying EC2 usage charges). You can also utilize a simple script to create a more customized AMI which creates a new AMI that packages WebSphere software with your custom applications.

The availability of the WebSphere Application Server as an AMI on Amazon's EC2 complements the recently announced WebSphere Application Server for Developers edition (available as a download) as both provide low-cost, low-risk ways to experiment with the robust WebSphere Application Server environment. The no-cost development download for WebSphere Application Server satisfies the needs for projects that don't warrant the expense of a priced and supported runtime on the developer desktop.

The availability of the WebSphere eXtreme Scale as an AMI on Amazon's EC2 allows for the development of innovative types of applications by extending the data caching concept using advanced features in the creation of new classes of high-performance applications.

A one-room show about an 18th century novelist seemed like the perfect antidote to a week of tech talk in the Death Star Javits Center. As I'd hoped, the Morgan focuses on a...
    • Steve Souders: Making Web Sites Faster in the Web 2.0 Age
      As much as anything else, a user's impression of a web site has to do with how fast the site loads. But modern Web 2.0 websites aren't your father's Oldsmobile. Chocked full of rich Flash content and massive JavaScript libraries, they present a new set of challenges to engineers trying to maximized the performance of their sites. You need to design your sites to be Fast by Default. That's the theme of the upcoming Velocity Online Conference, co-chaired by Google performance guru Steve Souders. Souders is the author of High Performance Web Sites and Even Faster Web Sites, and spent some time discussing the new world of web site performance with me.
    • Four short links: 30 November 2009
      Paywall Performance for News -- the National Business Review (NBR) in New Zealand went to a paywall in mid-July, and Foo Camper Lance Wiggs says their visitor numbers reveal a grim picture. As a commenter says, of course, visitor numbers go down but NBR makes money directly from the visitors that stay. I'm curious to see the effect on advertisers now the site's incentives are not to spray their load far and wide to land on as many eyeballs as possible. An interesting canary in the mine for Rupert's paywall plans at Fox. This and more in today's Four Short Links.
    • Washington Newseum stresses individual heroism, downplays economics and social context
      The Washington DC Newseum is an experience worth the entrance fee, and a capacious view into the profession that it honors. The history exhibit boasts history-making front pages throughout the life of our country, and the First Amendment exhibit brought tears to my eyes. But a lot was missing from the Newseum too, and I didn't think the omissions were just something they'll get to later. It gives short shrift to journalism's economics, influence on society, and technology.
