Content can be allocated from content servers

First Architectural Approach (1 of 3)
First Integration Approach consisted to have both FatWire and WebSphere Portal running in the same Java Virtual Machine.
The integration have been implemented via FatWire jsp tags (Taglibs) used into Content Portlets.
It was quite fast to develop
This approach leaded to an instable platform under load.
Both products were fighting for resources
It was impossible to allocate errors to a specific product

Current Architectural Approach (1 of 3)
Current architecture consists in running WebSphere Portal and FatWire in separated JVM’s.
The major change in this architecture is that content is retrieved via http calls (clipping technique) and placed in the portlet view mode.
This architecture allowed us to increase Fatwire results cache and to balance Fatwire requests within the same Portal requests.
It allows to be more flexible and scalable approach
(all software versions were updated to the newest version and will be kept updated)

Technical Architecture Change measures have been successfully rolled-out, building a solid foundation for future functional enhancements
All systems were upgraded to newest versions
All existing application were migrated to new systems
The Stability improved with the first steps of the project, ensuring an overall targeted availability of minimum 99%
01.01.2010 – There is a significant performance gain due to the Architecture Change (see slides on the right)
01.04.2010 – Fruther optimizations werew done

Thank You!
