Pedro Lay is an Enterprise Solutions Architect in Sun’s Systems Technical Marketing Group. He has over 20 years of industry experience that spans application development, database and system administration, and performance and tuning efforts. Since joining Sun in 1990, Pedro has worked in various organizations include Technology, the Customer Benchmark Center, the Business Intelligence and Data Warehouse Competency Center, and the Performance Applications Engineering group.
Alejandro Medrano has focused on performance engineering in his 10 years at Sun. In the role of performance architect, Alejandro is responsible for throughput, scalability, and capacity of the Sun Web Space server and the previous Portal Server products. Analyzing and fixing performance issues in these products have led to the resolution of bottlenecks at all layers of Sun’s software---from the Virtual Machine for the Java platform (Java Virtual Machine or JVM™) to the identity stack to the Directory Sever. The direct results of the combined performance engineering efforts on those fronts have produced a tripling in throughput since the Liferay 4.4 release to today’s Sun GlassFish Web Space server offering.
Srikanth Konjarla is a deployment engineering architect for the Sun Web Space Server product. Srikanth has 17 years of industry expertise, including 10 years of experience in design and architecture of Web and infrastructure products with Sun. During his tenure at Sun, Srikanth has worked with many customers to provide solutions.
