Traffic Management and Load Balancing for
Weblogic Servers

 

Accelerating BEA WebLogic
 

Similar tests were conducted against a BEA WebLogic server (Read more):

• ZXTM could up to double the transaction rate that could be achieved from WebLogic, with no additional software or server tuning.

• Transactions were over twice as fast when using ZXTM, under sustained load from multiple clients.

• Using ZXTM to decrypt SSL traffic provided over 15-times the SSL performance - enough to saturate the WebLogic server with regular requests.

• Errors were totally eliminated for all but the most demanding tests.

How does ZXTM do this?

There's a combination of features in ZXTM that contribute to this acceleration effect:

• Offloading compute-intensive tasks so that each application can concentrate on its core tasks;

• Accelerating and buffering TCP transactions to achieve local-network speeds, even over a global WAN;

• Minimizing connection processing on the application by optimized HTTP KeepAlive multiplexing;

• Caching frequently-requested content on behalf of the application.

The full details, including test methodologies and results, are written up in a number of white papers:

·         Application Acceleration with ZXTM: Key Points - short!

·         Application Acceleration with ZXTM - long... lots of explanation of the performance problems, and how ZXTM alleviates them.

·         Improving the Performance of Apache with ZXTM - a desciption of BroadBand Testing's Apache tests.

·         Improving the Performance of BEA WebLogic with ZXTM - a description of BroadBand Testing's WebLogic tests.

·         Benchmarking ZXTM: Guidelines - some suggestions on how to construct and run reliable, accurate and easy-to-interpret benchmarks.

BroadBand Testing used a ZXTM 7000 Appliance in these tests, and barely made it sweat! Anyone interested in the performance of the ZXTM Appliances can read their full ZXTM 7400 Appliance Test Report, and the ZXTM Appliance Performance reference.
