Over 80% of all new application systems are deployed with serious performance and scalability bottlenecks. The reason is that organisations do not have a sufficient understanding of how the application will perform and scale once deployed into production across the corporate network or the internet. In practice, assumptions are made with the application and system design, and business risks therefore taken.

The Optimise service from Layer47 provides a fast and simple performance test and analysis capability that dramatically increases the knowledge and understanding of how an application is performing, and clearly and unambiguously informs how to optimise the end-user performance experience.

The service enables application developers, DBA’s and technical architects to understand how to design, develop and deploy a multi-tiered application and its supporting network infrastructure with optimised end-user performance and system scalability from day-1.

Deliverables

The Optimise service delivers the following value to any application system development/deployment project:

Performance baseline of key business transactions, including transaction response-times, end-to-end network traffic, and client-server response-time analysis.

Identification of potential performance/scalability bottlenecks within the application code and end-to-end network infrastructure.

Information to assist developers, DBA’s and technical architects in understanding how to remedy identified bottlenecks and optimise the end-user performance of application code and end-to-end system.

Costs & Timescales

A typical 2 or 3-tier TCP-IP based application consisting of 10 selected key business transactions, can be performance profiled with only one-day of on-site data capture, and a report containing full results data, conclusions and recommendations delivered within 4-7 working days*. The cost for this service starts at £3500.

*Price dependent on final number of transactions to be profiled, and the depth and complexity of analysis required.
