Actually, the applications session size seams to be very large (7MB), but constant. We do not use any session cluster, but right now more then one WebSphere instance in a Network Deployment environment. Because the project has targeted 300 parallel users, we try to figure out how many WebSphere instances and how many zLinux instances we're going to need.
However, I still did some research myself and I found this: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/eserver/library/es-was-zseriesfaq.html#ques4 (Q&A #4 and #5) - does this mean that with WAS6.0.2 IBM introduced full 64Bit support under SLES9 (while 6.0.1 did still run in 31 bit emulation mode with a limitation for the Java heapsize of 800MB) and technically it is now possible to run JVMs with larger heapsizes? Depending on the applications kind of heap consumption (many short-living objects versus large number of static objects) it could still make sense to use more, but smaller JVMs!?
