Implementation enhancements
Improve cache performance with WebSphere eXtreme Scale V7.0
By deploying WebSphere eXtreme Scale version 7.0 to the IT environment, it becomes possible to extend the WebSphere Commerce cache to an eXtreme Scale network-attached cache, with no custom development at a very low price point. By leveraging a standard plug-in architecture, eXtreme Scale can be readily implemented in a new or existing installation via a service provider interface that extends the performance and scalability of WebSphere Dynamic Cache Service (Dynacache), and helps customers to realize the benefits of improved cache performance for data-intensive operations managed within the WebSphere Commerce environment.
Lower total cost of ownership
Use commodity-priced hardware, eXtreme Scale can be used to expand WebSphere cache resources to meet the demands of high workloads and related performance spikes driven by variable seasonal demand and other factors that impact online business agility. By taking advantage of eXtreme Scale features, it is possible to lower the total cost of ownership for WebSphere Commerce by off-loading the overhead normally attributed to cache operations onto inexpensive, highly available and high-performing infrastructure.
