Syntergy has added load testing to the tool set that is used during architecture analysis and performance tuning services. Performance tuning can be a relatively subjective function when it is based on results conducted in test labs, estimated usage patterns and fixed data. Load testing takes away the subjective nature of Livelink® performance tuning by allowing simulated usage environments to be measured against various configurations.
Syntergy's expertise in Livelink® allows us to develop load test scripts that measure the key performance areas of Livelink® so that there are no surprises when the actual production configuration is implemented. We also use available Livelink® performance statistics and our own custom performance monitoring tools to see exactly where there are bottlenecks and what needs to be done to correct them. Being able to see inside the Livelink® engine under various load test scenarios is a key feature in maximizing Livelink® performance. Often performance can be improved dramatically by modifying the taxonomy of an implementation or by isolating poorly performing functions. We also excel in rewriting or replacing poorly performing functions with fast, efficient ones.
Our customers
have relied upon our extensive Livelink® knowledge
to ensure exceptional performance from their Livelink® systems.
Using tools developed while analyzing a variety
of environments, our technicians can analyze how
Livelink® is performing under the
hood.
The performance data will tell
you where the bottlenecks are and the cause.
We can then provide a solution that fits
your environment. Sometimes a simple reconfiguration
of your community model will greatly decrease
the time it takes for Livelink® to
calculate which objects to display on a page.
This creates faster page rendering and a much
improved user experience.
When hardware is the problem
we can provide a full analysis of your CPU needs
based on how many transactions per second Livelink® can
produce with your CPUs, how many active users
you have on average, and what type of Livelink® functions
are being performed. We will help you understand
when to increase the number of Livelink® servers
or the number of CPUs per server or help
you decide if Unix or Windows NT/2000 is a better
platform for your environment.
