A High-Performance, Transactional Filestore for Application Servers

Summary: Distributes transactional data across per-server filestores to boost app throughput and scale beyond monolithic DBs. BEA WebLogic filestore, with a platform-independent disk-scheduling algorithm, lowers latency for small synchronous writes; benchmarked vs. a DB. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
