Demandware Architecture: Grid Computing Overview

Demandware offers a true on-demand platform architecture: Grid Computing. Sudden spikes in traffic are easily handled by allocating capacity automatically. If capacity isn’t added automatically, it isn’t "on demand." Demandware delivers continuous updates and feature upgrades — automatically and proactively — so your site operates at peak efficiency, reliability, and availability while lowering costs and risks. Powered by the Demandware grid computing architecture, your site leverages a fully managed, shared, virtualized environment that dynamically scales to support even the most intense processing loads.
