Web Portal Scalability

Why doesn't your Java web portal scale well?

Innovation in Java runtimes hasn’t kept up with the needs of Java web portals. Recent trends have led to heavier transaction loads and data-intensive features that were not foreseen even ten years ago. Conventional JVMs require you to deploy multiple instances using 3-4GB heaps to avoid lengthy garbage collection (GC) pauses. As load increases, response times become increasingly inconsistent. The result is lost revenue and usage and a poor customer experience.

In contrast, Zing™ allows you to deploy fewer, more powerful instances of unlimited (per instance) size that are elastic – automatically scaling up and down based on real-time demands. With Zing, you can achieve consistent response times regardless of load or heap size, without garbage collection pauses.

Zing also helps you deliver new applications and advanced features faster, by eliminating the need for most JVM and GC tuning.
