WAS or Tomcat?

Hi Guys

I assume WAS is not included in RTC 3.0.1, and has to be purchased separately?

I found another post says Tomcat is fully supported for use in a production environment. But to my knowledge, no, you cannot configure Tomcat for High Availability.

So are we good with Tomcat for initial 200+ users? What's the justification to upgrade from Tomcat to WAS?

Thanks
Jirong

Hi

WAS *is* included with RTC (it is an additional download) - you don't have to purchase this separately. This is WAS (not WAS ND) and is specifically for use with RTC.

You will be fine with Tomcat with 200+ users, I am working with a large-scale user who is currently using Tomcat.

Moving to WAS does have advantages but most people seem to use what is supported in their wider environment (eg: if you have a big WAS server farm - makes sense to use that as it is probably all supported, configured and admin'ed already).
