To remain competitive, an organization must implement
and maintain a reliable infrastructure that is capable of
managing rapid growth. eRestaurant Services Global Services
provides full audit and evaluation of your organization's
infrastructure, identifying areas of weakness and enabling
you to deliver a consistent level of service.
Performance and Optimization
Services: Performance Analysis
The eRestaurant Services Performance Analysis program
takes an in-depth look at how organizations can scale
their system components to achieve increased performance,
thus realizing a higher return on investment. Intended
for customers that are in the early stages of new
projects or beginning upgrades of existing ones, eRestautrant
Services Global Services reviews the organization's
current or planned system architecture against its
functionality and performance requirements.
The assessment team then discusses both the required
functionality and the ability of legacy systems to
coexist with the new solution during implementation.
The analysis concludes with a detailed report recommending
appropriate modifications to the proposed architecture
and implementation. These modifications may cover
the upgrade of existing hardware and networking infrastructure
for proposed usage, architectural changes to improve
throughput or scalability, and customizations in products.
The Methodology
eRestaurant Services Consultants and Project Managers
will be responsible for undertaking a capacity study
carried out by a team of solutions consultants. The
study consists of five distinct components.
Characterization
of Current Capacity:
In the first phase, information is gathered
about your existing solutions and network.
The consulting team reviews the current solutions
infrastructure, identifies all applications
and traffic that will affect the systems under
test, and creates a profile.
Stress
Testing:
Based upon the site profile, your solutions
and network is tested with increasing traffic
until a breakpoint is reached. Using specialized
tools that collect system and application
statistics, each system is tested with emphasis
placed upon finding weaknesses and limitations
in the components of your infrastructure.
Tests will be repeated after configuration
changes to obtain data for an optimal system.
Monitoring:
The consulting team works with your personnel
to recommend monitoring tools and strategies
for your site that will allow you to effectively
monitor the capacity of your system.
Final
Report and Capacity Recommendations:
The consulting team will make final recommendations
based upon all test results, which may include
architectural design changes, application
configuration changes to increase system capacity,
and hardware and network capacity improvements.
Ongoing
Review:
eRestaurant Services will record details of
all test plans and findings, allowing a rapid
reassessment of your infrastructure to assist
with ongoing capacity planning as your company
grows.
Capacity Planning
Concurrent with the continued growth of your company
are the demands placed on software solutions. Constant
growth can quickly consume excess capacity. To assist
with alleviating this problem, eRestautrant Services
has developed its advanced Capacity Planning Services.
This service allows an organization to optimize its
IT resources, align equipment and software purchases
with performance and capacity requirements, reduce
costs and improve long-term strategic planning.
