Broad scale business intelligence is rapidly becoming a necessity in competitive organizations. As the size of deployment and degree of dependence on the system increases - often driven by extranet deployments and mission-critical information delivery requirements - predictability becomes a fundamental criterion in evaluating the strength of a business intelligence system.

Understanding the importance of scalability, Crystal Decisions conducted a series of benchmark tests to demonstrate the superiority of Crystal Enterprise 9.0 run on IBM's server xSeries 16-way with Windows Server 2003.
