Environment

A customer-like environment was used for the 64-bit and 31-bit WebSphere® study with J2EE workloads.

To emulate a customer environment, these components are used:

  • A workload driver that emulates a retail and manufacturing workload
  • A single WebSphere V 6.1 Application Server to host the application
  • A DB2® UDB V9.5 database
Figure 1 shows the configuration used for the testing.
