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

Open Source software has many advantages compared to proprietary alternatives. The fact that the source code is open might often not even be the most relevant benefit. The ability to access functions and componentized services through open APIs (application programming interfaces) allows to focus development efforts on what is most important for the usage of the application – the user interface – for example. + Read more
