In virtualized environments based on hypervisor technology like VMware’s Virtual Infrastructure 3, adaptive memory
management within the Java Virtual Machine plays an important role in optimizing the performance of Java
applications. This becomes particularly apparent when multiple instances of an application are run within a memoryconstrained
environment. BEA LiquidVM technology is unique in its ability to respond to changes in memory pressure
on the underlying hypervisor infrastructure by changing its heuristics and behavior to match its runtime environment.
In virtualized environments running enterprise Java applications, the adaptive memory management of BEA LiquidVM
technology can allow up to two times the number of virtual machine instances to be run without any external
reconfiguration, resulting in much higher application throughput than is achievable with a standard, OS-based
software stack.
