Cloud computing and weblogic....

July 20, 2009 - This was the day that oracle's grid architecture and weblogic server harmoniously came together.

From Oracle's website:

http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/press/021490


Oracle announced the release of Oracle® Coherence 3.5.
A component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle Coherence 3.5
This new version introduces Coherence Guardian, a safeguard that automatically detects and corrects service disruptions.
Oracle Coherence 3.5 provides native integration with Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle WebLogic Portal, dramatically boosting the performance and scalability of applications deployed on these products.
In addition, Oracle Coherence 3.5 also includes a significant performance boost in the Coherence*Web session management module.
 I quote  from oracle website :

"These new capabilities help organizations improve their online customer experience, simplify the management of large web deployments, and differentiate their Web presence for competitive advantage."
 
So if you have gotton your head  round clusters and scalability this is really the final up-scale afterwards.
Really for big organisations or heavy use websites requiring the top end of resiliance and scalability.

For now recognise that oracle is investing heavily in this area and cloud computing is here to stay.

I will write more on this topic in a future post
