At the suggestion of the contractor (retailer), who has always entrusted us with the Internet environment, we set up this tower server. The CAL upgrade cost associated with upgrading the file server can be greatly reduced because the StrageServer operating system was given as a line. The operability of remote maintenance was also greatly improved by employing the associated management software (iRMC).
JBoss EAP is subscription based/open source platform. It's very reliable and great for deploying high transaction Java based enterprise applications. It integrates well with third party components like mod_cluster and supports popular Java EE web-based frameworks such as Spring, Angular JS, jQuery Mobile, and Google Web Toolkit.
The support system that more than makes up for it is the determining factor for the choice.
When a RAID disk or power supply failed, the maintenance service alerted me with a monitoring alarm and replaced it quickly before service was interrupted.
MOD_CLUSTER integration. JBoss EAP integrates pretty well with mod_cluster. This is an intelligent load balancer especially useful in highly clustered environments.
Supports enterprise-grade features such as high availability clustering, distributed caching, messaging etc.
Supports deployment in on-premise, virtual and hybrid cloud environments.
Jboss CLI is a great tool but we had trouble using it to get values that are displayed on Jboss GUI. It also has limitations parsing the applications.xml files and we had to use a mix of jboss-cli and linux bash commands to automate certain application administrative tasks.
JBoss doesn't really provides performance tuning recommendations. It would have been nice if it could learn from the current demand vs current settings for things like connection pool, server configurations, garbage collection etc.
Usually, Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform is good at performance and well suited for high traffic Java EE-based applications, but we have faced hard times performance tuning it for our specific needs. The product would be nicer if they would add a performance diagnostic and recommendations feature to it.
With respect to the backup system, I believe that relocation after the replacement was facilitated.
The best solution to the problem was that thanks to Fujitsu Interstage I created a separate cloud to store the data for each individual PC.
Being able to continue the tasks, without the interruption of service due to a hardware failure that was fixed very efficiently, demonstrates the quality of this company's operations.
