Performance tuning considerations when IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) is running in a virtual machine

One of my colleagues, Mike, blogged this earlier today, and I thought it worth re-sharing as it's relevant to IBM BPM *and* any other WAS-based workload running on VMware, or similar.

Performance tuning considerations when IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) is running in a virtual machine

Problem(Abstract)

Running IBM Business Process Manager in a virtual machine is supported. However, there are some additional considerations when running servers in a virtual machine (VM) environment.

Resolving the problem

When you are running a Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) application in a virtual machine (VM) there are additional considerations. These considerations are performance-related changes.

Enjoy !
