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!?

With kind regards
