Joe, while performance is critical, I think your statement needs to be
expanded upon. Consider the WRKACTJOB command, which gives you a view
of a system where hundreds or even thousands of jobs are active, and
where there are actually even hundreds and thousands of other processes
going on under the covers. The task dispatching and workload managment
capabilities of the OS are incomparable in the industry.
If I had to name only one magic bullet, it would be the Native Virtual
Machine. Any other platform in the world can scale by adding a physical
tier in front of, or along side another server. But I'd much rather add
another processor to a single server and let the native virtual machine
manage the workload than monkey with another physical tier.
I understand that J2EE hosting environments offer some workload
management capabilities, and so does an environment like PHP (if you buy
Zend add-ons), and so does PASE, but they pale in comparison to what's
offered under the native virtual machine.
