A set of robust benchmark tests, designed to emulate an on-line brokerage firm, were conducted at IBM’s xSeriestm Teraplex Integration Center to measure the scalability characteristics of representative configurations as they grow to service more users and more transactions. Quest Software’s Benchmark Factory was used to simulate volumes of customers accessing trading services via web browsers. This benchmarking effort provides compelling evidence that IBM’s WebSphere and DB2 provide the scalability and integration required to deliver predictable scalability for demanding e-business workloads.
