.NET StockTrader Sample Application

An End-to-End Sample Application Illustrating Windows Communication Foundation and .NET Enterprise Technologies This application is an end-to-end sample application for .NET Enterprise Application Server technologies. It is a service-oriented application based on Windows Communication Foundation (.NET 3.0) and ASP.NET, and illustrates many of the .NET enterprise development technologies for building highly scalable, rich "enterprise-connected" applications. It is designed as a benchmark kit to illustrate alternative technologies within .NET and their relative performance. The application offers full interoperability with Java Enterprise, including IBM WebSphere's Trade 6.1 sample application, and newly provided implementations on Oracle Application Server 10G (OC4J) and Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3 (Oracle implementations included with the download below). As such, the application offers an excellent opportunity for developers to learn about .NET and building interoperable, service-oriented applications.

New! Comparing .NET 3.5 and IBM WebSphere 7 Application Server Performance

.NET StockTrader 2.0 Benchmark Results on Windows Server 2008

This paper presents detailed benchmark results based on extensive performance and scalability testing of 64-bit IBM WebSphere 7 Application Server running on an IBM Power 570 (IBM Power6/AIX 5.3 platform). It compares the price as well as the performance of this platform to IBM WebSphere 7 running on a Hewlett Packard BladeSystem C7000 with Windows Server 2008 64-bit. The paper also compares the performance and price of these two IBM WebSphere platforms to the equivalent workloads developed using the Microsoft .NET Framework and deployed to the Hewlett Packard BladeSystem C7000 with Windows Server 2008 64-bit operating system.
