Hi All,
We’re currently looking to upgrade our TR from 8.98.3.1 to 9.1. It looks like our current web server (WebSphere 6.1) is no longer supported so I’m interested in getting thoughts on upgrading to WebSphere 7.0 or moving to Weblogic.
I work in a small team of 2 developers where we also carry out the CNC activities (bringing in experts where necessary, though finding UK based WebSphere experts with knowledge of JDE has proved difficult). We’ve built up a limited amount of experience with WebSphere over the last 18 months and have some limited access to an internal WebSphere expert. We’ve found the product stable but complex when trouble-shooting issues and have some concern that Oracle will look to push WAS issues to IBM leaving us caught between 2 vendors in the future.
My normal inclination would be to build on the knowledge we currently have and stick with WebSphere but gut feeling says Red Stack is likely to be a better long term bet especially as our organisation has a large investment with Oracle products (though not directly Weblogic) and relatively little with IBM.
I’d be interested in others thoughts of the 2 products or if it boils down to personal preference as much as anything.
Regards
Neil.
