This white paper describes an affordable and scalable IBM solution that is ideal for midsized
businesses. The solution discussed in this paper was tested in IBM labs on an IBM System
p5™ 510 running Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® AS release 4. This was done running the
middleware infrastructure of IBM Express Runtime Version 2.1.1 using the publicly available
Trade6 (the IBM WebSphere® performance benchmark sample) Web application.
A fast growing segment of IT spending today is in midsized businesses, which are generally defined as
companies with 100 to 1000 employees. These companies often have a limited IT staff and budgets,
which means they need complete solutions that include business applications and a total environment of
hardware and software to run the applications.
This paper discusses a solution that, as tested, will scale up to handle more than 2,500 users, which
typically meets the needs of midsized businesses in any industry.
