Leading CDI Solution Achieves Unprecedented Performance and Scalability Results on IBM Infrastructure
Atlanta, GA – July 22, 2004 – DWL, the leader in customer data integration (CDI) solutions, today announced the results of performance testing conducted on the leading enterprise customer hub, DWL Customer™. The results outperform any existing benchmarks of this kind for customer data integration solutions and detailed performance results show that DWL Customer is meeting the most demanding performance requirements of any organization.
The benchmark, the results of which are published in an IBM Redbook, was conducted to demonstrate performance and scalability of DWL’s CDI solution, DWL Customer™, on IBM e-server pSeries hardware on an AIX platform, running IBM Websphere� Application server Advanced Edition. DWL Customer™ was tested with 85 million account records containing 105 million customer records in the database, at a rate of approximately 600,000 transactions per hour. DWL Customer™ delivered an average throughput of approximately 165 transactions per second with an average latency ranging from 124 milliseconds to 288 milliseconds (comprised of a mixture of add, update, inquiry transactions), while adding more than 10,000 new parties per one-half hour.
“We’re pleased these published benchmarks are available and offer proof points as to how robust and performance-driven some CDI solutions can be, especially off-the-shelf packaged solutions utilizing the latest technologies,” said Bryan Ashley, vice president, marketing and business development, DWL. “As we continue to see increasing demand for CDI solutions, it will be vital for organizations to evaluate if CDI solutions are designed to perform and scale in their own complex IT environments.”
