Overview of Enterprise Server Performance
Tuning
You can signicantly improve performance of the Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server and of
applications deployed to it by adjusting a few deployment and server conguration settings.
However, it is important to understand the environment and performance goals. An optimal
conguration for a production environment might not be optimal for a development
environment.
This chapter discusses the following topics:

Step Description ofTask Location of Instructions
1 Design: Decide on the high-availability topology
and set up the Application Server and, if you are
using HADB for session persistence,
high-availability database (HADB) systems.
