Spring Dallas User Group

During tonight’s meeting, my notes reminded me that I was supposed to post this right after the meeting. Sorry about that. Here is a link to Craig’s presentation.

TITLE:
Successfully Scaling Java Applications in Spring

ABSTRACT:
While clustering applications may increase the overall availability of business services, it certainly does not imply that they may easily scale out to provide greater system capacity or performance. Further, most clustering solutions leave the effort of addressing non-trivial issues like data, space, recovery and process partitioning (affinity) across a cluster to the developer, ultimately increasing application and deployment complexity and impeding the rate at which solutions may be delivered.

In this presentation, we will introduce and examine the Data Grid paradigm, and in particular how Spring applications may apply it to increase the availability, reliability, scalability and performance of systems, while at the same time reducing system complexity and improving delivery.

I wanted to say it again here, WE HAVE A NEW MEETING LOCATION.

Just in case you missed the announcement at our August meeting, or at the September JavaMUG meeting. We have moved to a new meeting location. We are happy to report that we are now meeting at the offices of Improving Enterprises. The location will be very easy to find for anyone that has attended a JavaMUG meeting. Improving is in the same group of buildings that Sun is in. Sun is in the north tower and Improving is in the south tower.

See the new Meeting Location page on our site for more info on the move, the address, and a map link.
