back Scalability must be incorporated as part of the design process. It is not a discrete feature that can be added later. Many systems are built or purchased without scalability considerations. When this mistake is made, a "Scale Up" strategy proves too expensive and duplication of hardware for high availability features make the entire solution impossible to afford. Adding to this problem, required CPU power may not exist for the platform and OS that you are running on. A "Scale out" strategy could have been a solution, however, your system was not designed for "scale out" tricks. Through its R&D and previous experience, Digital Edge has developed and tested multiple techniques allowing scaling performance through the tuning of separate components using mixed scaling strategies to achieve required results. So when you begin thinking about architecting your system, Digital Edge engineers are an excellent resource to engage before you jump to assembly. By developing your solutions together with Digital Edge, you will be able convert your system to real distributed or partially distributed system. Distributed systems are a step beyond traditional client - server architecture. Distributed application allows n-tiers to communicate as one single mechanism. If you have scalability questions or at the point of making decisions on new infrastructure, Digital Edge will prove an experienced partner to: Stress test your system finding bottlenecks Outlining a scalability strategy Define a solution integrating and combining standard strategies with Digital Edge proprietary techniques. Identify performance targets. Measure cost of processing in required megacycles per client Perform component tuning Design parallel processing and implementation of grid computing elements. Design and implement VLDB, partitioning, federated databases Digital Edge will compel your system to perform! Business, more than any other occupation, is a continual dealing with the future; it is a continual calculation, an instinctive exercise in foresight. Henry R.
