.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.

Configuration Service 2.04 is a reusable set of shared libraries that provides central configuration management for .NET applications, ASP.NET Applications, and WCF service hosts. It provides the ability to cluster multiple nodes, with load balancing and application-level failover across remote nodes; as well as a centralized configuration management user interface, cluster and endpoint status monitoring, and dynamic configuration updates across clusters without having to deploy new configuration files or stop/start active nodes.
