How Much Money Are You Losing Every Time Your Application Pauses?

Do the Math with Our Application Consistency Index

Determining the right memory heap size for object-oriented applications is complex. Too big a heap and service levels plummet with painfully long garbage collection pauses. Too small a heap and the application crashes with out-of-memory errors.

So what's the answer?

A combination of multicore and massive heap sizes capped by Pauseless Garbage Collection. Azul Compute Appliances are a seamless complement to the existing infrastructure, provides access to heaps up to 200 GB without garbage collection pauses.

Do the math – use our Application Consistency Index to determine just how much money your organization is losing from poor application response times.

Break Free from Application Memory Constraints

Memory Heap Limitations in Action

Are small memory heaps limiting your application’s growth and functionality? Are your response times suffering from long garbage collection pauses? Determining the right memory heap size in object oriented applications is an incredibly complex and unforgiving affair. Make your heap a little too big and your service levels are blown with painfully long garbage collection pauses. Make it slightly too small and your application crashes with out-of-memory errors. The net result: applications are all too often constrained to fit in unnaturally small heap sizes, severely restricting the application’s ability to grow or deliver enhanced functionality and putting unnecessary pressure on the database that is expensive to relieve!

Multinational Bank Doubles Transaction Volume and Eliminates Crippling Bottlenecks

Most Java™ platform based applications grapple with heap limitations. A large bank’s technical staff had recently spent considerable time and effort optimizing heap sizes, but without the right platform, only so much could be done and some important business requirements were left exposed:

  • End-user response time
  • Application functionality
  • Geographic expansion

Feather Dusters at Dawn!

Peter Holditch, Senior Systems Engineer at Azul Systems Blog by Peter Holditch,
Sr. Systems Engineer of Azul Systems

It's always great to experience an outbreak of harmony on the web, especially having spent the years before HTML and the pretty image-laden web reading comp.* newsgroups with perhaps more than their fair share of CAPITALISED posts flying around.

I was thus delighted to see Benjamin Friedlin's response to my gentle prod.

The concept of performance, especially in the context of things like real time matrix pricing engines, is one that causes me endless fascination.
