Performance is a key constraint limiting business transaction processing volume, transaction responsiveness, and an application solution’s ability to fulfill SLAs (Service Level Agreements). Both consumer and partner facing applications often must process large transaction volumes with high throughput and low latency. Architecture and deployment topology significantly impacts whether an application or service solution will meet business transaction processing goals.

WSO2 Carbon Registry Kernel contains three main partitions of the Registry space. Those are namely Local Data Repository, Configuration Registry and Governance Registry. These three partitions are available on all the products based on WSO2 Carbon Platform, which allows to share resources and configuration replication.

Yumani Ranawera, Senior Software Engineer at WSO2 takes a step-by-step approach in deploying WSO2 Carbon 2.0.x in IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.1. WSO2 Carbon is a component based SOA platform which is based on Equinox and OSGi. It is the base platform for all Java products of WSO2. Built on OSGi, Carbon encapsulates major SOA functionality such as data services, business process management, ESB routing/transformation, rules, security, throttling, caching, logging and monitoring. All these major features can be plugged to the WSO2 Carbon based products, as components.

This tutorial will guide you on how you can work with Amazon AMI instances from command line instead of using any GUI interfaces like Elasticfox. Cloud computing is relatively a new technology that gives small to mid-size companies the computing power needed to compete in the market place without having to burden themselves with the high cost of purchasing additional computers, storage and all the extra equipment that is usually needed.

This brief tutorial outlines the basic steps that need to be followed to configure a WSO2 Carbon Framework based product and establish a secure JMS connection with Apache ActiveMQ. In here, we use the WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) as an example. The same procedure can be followed to configure any other product based on the WSO2 Carbon Framework.
