Product Description

Product Description

In 1999, slow E-commerce sites cost their owners $44 billion in lost revenue -- and site failures have embarrassed companies from Britannica to eBay, Victoria's Secret to Charles Schwab. In Scaling for e-Business, two of the world's leading Web performance experts present powerful techniques for characterizing, predicting, anticipating, and addressing every aspect of E-commerce site performance. Scaling for e-Business demonstrates how to characterize E-commerce workloads more accurately than any book published yet. It clearly demonstrates techniques for analyzing the performance of authentication and payment services; modeling contention for software servers; modeling and planning for communications infrastructure; and most importantly, forecasting and addressing peak demand. Finally, the Web/E-Commerce developer will discover how to evaluate and project the long-term impact of changes in his/her site visitor profile -- even the growth of non-PC devices and traffic from "intelligent agents" such as comparative shopping bots.

5.0 out of 5 stars A practical handbook for the newbie, 30 April 2009
By JC (UK) - See all my reviews
This is the best introduction for newcomers to the field of performance and capacity modelling for computers and associated networks. It is a book that immediately delivers value and allows a firm basis for the analysis to be demonstrated. A superb stepping-stone into the more mathematical treatments by Jain, Fortier etc.
