SUN T2000/T5000 and Alfresco - not a good combination
Veröffentlicht 01 Oct 2008 von Optaros Tags: Alfresco, ECM, Enterprise 2.0, Enterprise solutions, Performance, Recommendations

A recent analysis reports that several Alfresco installations have had performance issues using SUN T2000 infrastructure environment. The conclusion and recommendation of this analysis is to use UltraSPARC Vx, Intel or AMD processors infrastructure instead. T2000 and T5000 are from the same family. The T2000 has been designed for being highly performant in the treatment of parallel tasks but its processor (UltraSPARC T1) is very slow, especially for treating sequential tasks. + Read more

Fixed the Alfresco-Ringside File Upload Problem
Veröffentlicht 04 Jun 2008 von Jeff PottsTags: Alfresco, Content Management, ECM, Enterprise 2.0, Facebook, Ringside Networks

I've been playing with Ringside's Social Application Server. In my initial post on the subject I mentioned I was having trouble with the file upload. I got that put to bed this evening. As it turns out, Facebook inserts some hidden fields into form tags (see doc) such as the Facebook user, API key, session key, and app ID. Ringside doesn't insert those fields. + Read more
