A Case Study on Performance Prediction of Web Based Application Architectures

Case Study about Performance Prediction of Web Based Application Architectures

Abstract: Effi cient web application is a challenge that we need to achieve when architecting web applications. This research follows a performance testing approach that aims to utilize load testing tools to give ideas about performance issues early in the development life cycle for applications implemented using Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) or .NETplatform. Thus, it helps system architects to choose amongst competitive frameworks. To achieve this aim, the applications are subjected to artifi cial workload. Direct measurements are obtained on the specifi ed application scenarios using different testing tools.



Case Study on Case Study on Performance Prediction

Introduction: In addition to the functional requirements, the web based applications developers are considering many other key issues to be facilitated and granted in the final stage of the developing process. Amongst the key non-functional requirements influenced by the architecture of the application and the utilized technology are performance, scalability, availability, and security. Performance of the application may not be looked at until there is a concern. In other words, as the access and requests on demand increases, performance is the most likely concern. Therefore, the web application has to achieve the high performance demand.

Case Study on Fifth Third Bancorp

When the CERT Coordination Center started compiling software vulnerability statistics in 1995, only 171 security related flaws were tallied that year. But little more than a decade later, that number rocketed to 8,064. Also increasing has been the velocity of zero-day attacks and the pace at which attackers develop ways to infiltrate at-risk systems. And attackers no longer are targeting only the network and operating systems—they’re increasingly using sophisticated tools to identify software flaws within Web applications, browsers, and common desktop programs. That’s why a system could be secure one day but highly vulnerable the next. Get more information..

Case Study of Walton County

Walton County’s Web applications are accessed through BCD’s Nexus Portal, an IBM i hosted Web portal. Nexus provides a secure framework and menu system to control access to the Web applications created with WebSmart PHP, and facilitates secured access to other applications, documents, dashboards, and user tools. “Our employees first log into Nexus from our intranet. Based on authorities already established within IBM i, they can gain quick access to the information they are looking for,” says Alford.



Case Study of Walton County


“When a tax collector uses the portal, he or she gets what they’re after and nothing more. The same is true for the workers who issue permits, the employees who enforce them, and so on. Users really love the fact that they can access the system with their IBM i user ID and password. Absolutely no one wants to memorize another password.” Sometimes users see application modernization only in the larger context of Web enabling every green-screen application in the enterprise, according to BDC.

Case Study on Lokad

Previously, we could not produce such an advanced forecasting model with accuracy in an hour—it is only with Windows Azure that this is possible.
- Rinat Abdullin, Chief Technology Officer, Lokad.



Situation: Based in Paris, France, Lokad provides sales, demand, and call volume forecasts for customers of all sizes. Lokad’s customers rely on accurate forecasts to optimize their business operations. Often used by retailers to help meet supply and demand needs, forecasts are also used across several other industries. For instance, banks need cash statistics to supply automated teller machines and branches with banknotes; and businesses with large call centers need to forecast call volumes and staffing levels to meet customer service needs…



Case Study on Lokad


Solution: In an effort to address its needs for a scalable, cost-effective solution that would yield significantly more processing power, Lokad decided to implement the Windows Azure™ platform, a solution that provides application hosting by Microsoft with high-availability and virtually unlimited processing and storage capacity. The Windows Azure platform includes a cloud services operating system and a set of developer services. Prior to the public announcement of Windows Azure, Lokad knew that it wanted to implement a “cloud computing” solution—the hosting and management of Web applications and services on the Internet through data centers. The company evaluated both Rackspace and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), but neither option was an optimal solution to meet its needs…

Case Study on Arcadia Community Services

Challenges: Arcadia Community Services (ACS), a local, not-for-profit holding company, is comprised of seven not-for-profit operating companies, each operating from its own location on the island of Oahu. With nearly 400 employees spread across seven locations, most of whom require access to similar information, a central repository to store and organize information related to client-care was critical. Furthermore, occupants of ACS’s two residential facilities desired a way to find other residents with similar likes and interests. Arcadia invited Synergy to assist them in improving collaboration among staff, as well as to help provide an interactive means to communicate effectively with and among residents.



Case Study on Arcadia Community Services


Solution: Synergy professionals spent time in a Discovery process in order to understand the unique requirements of both the ACS staff and the residents who have made Arcadia their home. This process uncovered the need for a secure intranet portal where employees could share information and collaborate in a dynamic environment. The Discovery also identified the need for a client-facing portal that residents could utilize to learn about current activities and to locate fellow residents. Synergy’s solution was to build out a SharePoint 2010 environment using Hyper-V servers. Within the SharePoint environment, multiple web applications were created to accommodate Central Administration, My Sites, an Employee Portal and a Resident Portal…

Case Study of Central Insurance

Our agents are depending on Central’s online applications to power their businesses. If our site fails, they can’t do their jobs.
- Larry Streets | Senior Analyst, Central Insurance.



To meet the needs of its agents and customers, Central relies upon nearly 200 web applications. Many require users to enter large amounts of data into multi-step workflow processes, which Central’s systems then aggregate, exchange and return via an intricate web of scripts and forms. When users call Central to report site problems, it is often difficult—and time-consuming—for IT to recreate and identify where things went wrong within the process.

Case Study on Fabrik, Inc.

Managing your digital assets can be challenging. With hardware, software, and Web applications constantly evolving, people have been unable to manage their content from cameras, handheld computers, social networking sites and other devices via a single intuitive interface. Ideally, consumers should be able to easily access and manage digital photos, music, and video at anytime and anywhere—whether they are online or offline.

Case Study Fabrik Inc.

“Our Fabrik application changes how people use digital assets by enabling them to access assets from anywhere and easily integrate them with other applications and services,” says Matthew McRae, vice president of marketing at Fabrik. “Acting as a desktop control panel for a user’s digital life, our new Fabrik web service, launching in beta later this year, is based on Adobe AIR, allowing us to deliver unprecedented flexibility and ease of use for consumers to aggregate, find, manage, and share their growing collections of personal photos, music, and videos,” explains McRae.
