TenFold ANNOUNCES LoadBalancing
FEATURE
TenFold Corp, provider of the EnterpriseTenFold platform for building and
implementing enterprise applications, announced LoadBalancing, an important
feature that enables EnterpriseTenFold to automatically optimize hardware
utilization within and across server computers.
"Business managers expect their software applications to provide consistent
performance even as the number of simultaneous end-users grows. IT managers
struggle to correctly size applications server hardware to handle anticipated
loads. It's a tremendously difficult task, so most organizations make informed
guesses, purchase hardware much larger than necessary, and constantly monitor
performance looking for bottlenecks," said Sid Bytheway, TenFold's vice
president of Information Technology. "LoadBalancing is one of many
out-of-the-box EnterpriseTenFold features that we rely on to address issues
such as these that many of our customers face."
LoadBalancing is an EnterpriseTenFold feature that efficiently distributes
applications load within and across applications server computers. With
LoadBalancing, a TenFold-powered application automatically checks the load on
individual server computers and routes end-users to a server computer that has
available capacity. LoadBalancing contains sophisticated, experience-tested
algorithms that make real-time assessments of current load and readjust load
to exploit available hardware resources to optimize performance.
"We put our applications in production on hardware sufficient for the
current
load and cost effectively add additional resources as the load grows," added
Bytheway. "LoadBalancing allows us and our customers to cluster small and
medium sized machines together to get large-scale machine capacity, without
the premium price of the large machine."
"This is a very powerful feature that intelligently solves a problem that
most
organizations are forced to solve by brute force," said Jeffrey L. Walker,
TenFold's founder and CTO. "You control hardware cost creep. You get stable
operating performance as volume grows and vacillates. LoadBalancing lets a
business executive and his application development team focus on applications
functionality, knowing that EnterpriseTenFold handles this hardware
utilization challenge."
"What if you could build a high quality enterprise application quickly,
powerfully, using a universal application that had the speed, quality, and
power to load-balance thousands of end-users on multiple, heterogeneous server
computers?" continued Walker. "EnterpriseTenFold delivers that today. Check it
out."
