Performance and Capacity Management has had many catchy names created by talented Marketing Departments;
IBM calls it "On Demand", Google dubbed it "Cloud computing", Oracle, "Grid computing". It is all the same concept; "To easily process as much as you need" and pay for "how much you are processing now". Many hardware/software vendors are coming up with their own solutions… clusters, SANs, Grids, directly or indirectly attached storage. The choices are growing, which in the end, is good for the consumer. However, there is still a critical key to the puzzle you will not hear from any of the players. If you simply place your system in the "cloud" you will receive all the processing power needed, but will your system BE ABLE TO UTILIZE IT?

A true solution cannot be simply deployed - the solution must be integrated within your business system. This means that your conventional day to day software should be able to recognize and fully utilize new advanced features of your infrastructure. In most cases, conventional software will not work with new features. It may require the re-coding of your entire system to utilize the full scale of features that your hardware has to offer.

Processing and data capacity can be achieved without huge investments or revolutionary and painful rebuilding which discard your original investments.

Digital Edge will facilitate a plan to manage processing or data storage capacity if you:

  • Experience unpredictable data growth;
  • Seasonable processing increases,
  • Load spiking during advertising campaigns,
  • Plan to implement high load comings


We are experienced in stress testing and calculation of required capacity, deploying and integrating new scalable software/hardware solutions, and working with multiple parties while being a single point of responsibility in the most difficult situations dealing with vendor coordination and troubleshooting.

Before engineering scalability to your system, talk to Digital Edge.
