Are there any significant differences between these two products...we are planning to move applications from WL 6.x either to Websphere 5.0 or WL 7.0. I want to know if there are significant technical advantages to migrate from weblogic to websphere (other than the cost ofcourse). David
Are there significant cost difference between WLS and WAS? If not, I would myself stay in WLS 7.x. Upgrading application from WLS 5 or 6 to WLS 7 is much easier than "porting" it to WAS 5. Never used WAS 5, but WAS 7.x seems to work ok. Br Mikla
The difference in cost is 5k per cpu. WAS(12k) WL(17k). The only thing I hated about WAS was its dependency on DB2/other db for holding repository and the installation had never been an easy job. This has changed with WAS 5 though but i am a bit reluctant to be the first one to try in production and prefer waiting till the first fixpack is out. I don't know how well would the (IMR) in memory session replication work with WAS 5 ND. With WL installation and setting IMR was pretty easy and straightforward. David
eat bricks! HA! And here's another one! And a tiny ad!
