Re: OTM 5.5 Hardware

No worries. There is a version of JRockit which runs on Solaris, but it isn't the right one (OTM only runs on the JDK 1.4.2). Also, neither Solaris 10 on Intel, nor Solaris 10 with JRockit is supported with OTM. The supported platforms are (in order of performance):
  • Linux / Intel
  • Win32 / Intel
  • Solaris / SPARC
  • HP-UX / PA-RISC or Itanium
  • AIX / POWER
As for containers, OTM won't realize it's running in one at all. We've just found that all virtualization technologies have a bit of overhead -- even hardware virtualization. Some have a large amount of overhead (VMWare) and others have little (IBM MPARs and LPARs, Sun Containers). Our internal policy is to use virtualization if it makes sense for TEST/DEV, but to avoid it for PROD, so that we're able to put the entire power of the hardware towards these high-performance environments.

Thanks,
Chris
