E-Commerce-Overview

Can your e-commerce platform scale to meet highly varying seasonal loads?

Without any downtime or sacrifice in performance?

And while actually saving on the cost of your hardware?

E-commerce sites need to be available 24/7, while guaranteeing a smooth, consistent customer experience − no matter how many users are on your site. This means that you need an application infrastructure that is always on, and always delivering exceptional performance − but that will also scale up and down as needed. On demand, and automatically.

GigaSpaces XAP can ensure you meet any customer traffic.

GigaSpaces eXtreme Application Server (XAP) is a virtual application platform that enables you to develop, deploy, and manage your application, data, and messaging sevices with a single product.

XAP IS THE ONLY SINGLE-PRODUCT SOLUTION THAT PROVIDES TRUE END-TO-END SCALABILTY, DELIVERING:

Dynamic provisioning to meet fluctuating loads.
High performance for latency-sensitive environments.
Continuous uptime/high availability through automatic failover and self-healing.
Cost efficiencies through maximum resource utilization, standard development and deployment environments, and advanced management tools.

Tuning code and queries won't take you far. Managing multi-tier clusters is complex and expensive.
XAP ensures linear scalability:
- In memory data partitioning enables unlimited load balancing
- Elastic provisioning of resources lets you scale up/scale down as required

title2:

Downtime or sluggish response times... Customer loyalty is minimal, and the competition is just a click away.

Hot backup mechanisms in multi-tier architecture are expensive and failure-prone.
XAP is geared for High Availability:
- Hot backup − Real-time sync with backup nodes
- Built-in monitoring and recovery mechanism
- Archives data to any data source
- Fully transactional − keeps data consistent

Fast, ongoing release of new social features is needed for better lead-gen and targeting

text3:

Social context dictates complex yet flexible data models. RDBMS is too rigid and cumbersome.
XAP ensures quick roll-out of new features:
- Rich support of document-based schema for flexibility
- Dynamic code deployment for continuous feature roll-out with no need to undeploy

Improving conversion rates requires real-time customized content

Campaign rules use heavy queries on BI and user preference repositories.
Dynamic parts caching is too sophisticated for CMS.
XAP provides superior performance:
- In-memory data − No physical DB in runtime stack
- Parallel processing − No joins, increased efficiency
- Data-aware routing & multi-indexing − Faster queries, reduced contention
- Document-based queries − Easily traverse complex object graph
