Dramatically Change Economics of Web Service Delivery

Drive better performance, value● Get greater performance ● Improve price performance, reduce costs● Operating System, processor choice

Scale for explosive Growth● Scale to +1M concurrent users● Choose best deployment technologies● Predict performance under stress

Simplify Deployments● Leverage best practices, Blue Prints, reference

architectures, subscriptions, systems, software, management expertise

How to Scale?NetworkLoad

RAM/Caching

I/OLoad

StorageRequirement

• Distribute the connections over multiple servers

• Increase the number of NICs and networks

• More CPUs help up to optimal thread count, more than that is useless

• Scale-out can impact app server activity, scalability can be difficult

• Reduce the logic in the DB server

• More memory is always good• A scale-out can increase the

complexity of the environment• External distributed caching

• Faster disks and controllers always help

• Scale-out is the best option after an initial optimization at server level

• SAN and NAS for large data centers• Scale-out is often cost effective
