Last night I upgraded all important software on the server of one of our bigger customers. We write all their applications with RIFE and the following sites run on that one machine (all with dedicated admin sections and all public pages being fully dynamic): Netwerk, Dag Allemaal, Genieten, Goed Gevoel, Magnet Magazines, Netcetera, TV-2Weken, TV Familie and Uw Vermogen.
The new software and versions are:
The performance is now really outstanding. Connections are responding instantly, even when a lot of images need to be loaded at once (for instance on the netwerk.be homepage). Note that all dynamic images (magazine covers, avatars, news posts, ...) are served straight out of the Postgres database as a stream. We don't write any lose files to disc from the content management interface.
I'm really happy about this software combination and will start looking into the JRockit management console in a little while. Maybe it can provide some interesting information.
