What is the volume of web hits you are expecting? I would not think clustering and load balancing would be any different. Clustering is done through the admin console, so it should be the same. Depending on your user group and the required app availability, you might not need to cluster. As for the DB2 questions, I do not work with DB2. That is a different group of people here.

Thank you for your reply. You both ease my mind in order to proceed with the task. my job is to port a J2EE application from a another application server and database to websphere and DB2, after that I will have some help from trained Z/OS administrator to deploy the application to z/OS. things that made me worry was about changes that could be seen in WAS for windows and WAS for zOS. But it looks that there would be almost no changes :-). How ever, I think the clustering and load balancing will differ, wont they? What is usually administrator or developer uses as a load balancer in front of clustered WAS? Does DB2 work in the same manner, I mean db2 for windows and linux are alike? I know that some features that are available in windows and *nix based version are not available in zOS. I will not use them. Are there some dramatic changes in DB2 for zOS and windows based DB2? If i develop the database and its Stored procedure in windows will it be easy to deploy them in zOS? Thanks.
