SMART, the providers of workforce management solutions, today announced performance testing with Unisys and Microsoft that showed excellent scalability and throughput results. The testing environment included Unisys ES7000 and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Enterprise database operating on 10 user workflows and supporting 1000 concurrent users. The results successfully proved that the entire solution package of SMARTís eHL 2004 r3 Application Software was able to ëscale upí to support 1000 concurrent users with Unisys hardware and Microsoftís database. This was achieved whilst maintaining a notable average user response time of less than 3 seconds per page.
Nick Whiteley, CTO of SMART comments, ìWe are pleased to demonstrate the ability to scale the number of users with absolutely no application modifications. With this significant testing, SMART has clearly demonstrated the power of providing unparalleled scalability and reliability without sacrificing performance in building the real time solutionî.
The eHL solution is an enterprise class solution used by some of the largest companies in the UK providing a fundamental mix of scalability and fault tolerance. Minimising server downtime is crucial for todayís businessís who rely on superior recovery capabilities, comprehensive feature functionality and high availability to remain competitive.
ìThis illustrates how strong software can work better together as a team. With a real demand to deliver connected, highly manageable applications, SMART have reached a significant milestone in delivering their product,î said Trevor Smart, Microsoft.
This type of testing is vital to proving that a solution can ëscale upí given sufficient hardware. The test results demonstrate the substantial transaction volumes that can be handled for large customers simultaneously. Customers can therefore be sure that the solution is able to make full use of the hardware available to it.
ìThe results from this collaboration are excellent for customers because it combines compelling technology from SMART with Unisys robust hardware. Our participation in the testing demonstrates that SMART and Unisys are each focussed on customer satisfaction by building a strong and secure infrastructure,î said Kevin George, Unisys.
