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.

    • Merge Healthcare and InSite Use New Archiving Technology
      “Our continued innovation in imaging software allows us to change the healthcare information distribution paradigm by the intuitive inclusion of images and radiology reports. We are thrilled to work with InSite One, a long-time partner, to bring this innovative solution to the market,” said Antonia Wells, President of Merge’s OEM division. The new zero-footprint technology provides clinicians and CIOs with a solution that overcomes the challenges associated with the distribution of images over a wide area network. Image distribution solutions typically involve expensive hardware, high IT support/deployment costs, platform compatibility issues and high bandwidth requirements. Using InDex Web, with integrated Cedara WebAccess technology from Merge, physicians are able to obtain patient information via a web browser at the point-of-care through their laptops, tablets and smart phones such as Apple iPhone and Blackberry Bold.

    • Monitis’ Universal Cloud Monitoring Framework
      Until today, Monitis was providing monitoring only for Amazon’s EC2 and S3 services. With the release of its Universal Cloud Monitoring Framework, Monitis can now sync to other Cloud computing providers very quickly - from Rackspace, GoGrid, Softlayer, and more. Monitis’ Universal Cloud Monitoring Framework will automate monitoring in highly dynamic cloud environments, where customers’ servers maybe added and terminated according to the load by management software or manually. Given this dynamism, setting up end-user experience monitoring can become a tedious, resource intensive and error-prone process. Monitis’ Universal Cloud Monitoring Framework automates the configuration of external monitoring and server monitoring tools every time a new installation is called for - saving IT managers and system administrators around the world enormous time and hassle.

    • Cloud Gets Heavy with Monitoring Services
      I’ve been a proponent of cloud-based monitoring of networks, sites, servers, applications and transactions, etc., for a long time. I’m such a nut about it because I know what a revolutionary convenience it is for companies to not have to devote all kinds of resources, time and money to making sure their web businesses are running smoothly. And I know, personally, having come from the old-fashioned environment where you ran monitoring software on internal servers, and you couldn’t do anything remotely, what that was like. The time, the money, the energy used up!

    • More that sociologist Erving Goffman could tell us about social networking and Internet identity
      After posting some thoughts a month ago about Erving Goffman's classic sociological text, The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life, I heard from a reader who urged me to try out a deeper work of Goffman's, Frame Analysis (Harper Colophon, 1974). This blog presents the thoughts that came to mind as I made my way through that long and rambling work. Although the Internet tends to strip away the external meanings Goffman recorded, we still bring our real-life frameworks into online interactions.
