Hi,
I have a basic question. We are planning to buy expensive
hardware like HP-UX or IBM-AIX or Windows. The processors are 64-bit.
I checked the JVM heap limitations and found that upto 4GB is
supported.
I also know that memcached cache farms can scale better than the
Java heap. What is the deciding factor here ? Can't the java heap( 2
cluster members ) itself be used as a cache ? I know that in a web
application we are limited to some type of scope like the session for
caching.
How would I go about evaluating our requirements to support a large
number of users( 300000) ?
Thanks,
Mohan
