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.

The First Vendor to Use Grid Computing for Limitless Scalability

Demandware Architecture Overview
While traditional approaches require proper sizing and dedicated hardware, Demandware automatically provides as much computing power to each Web site as needed to minimize page load times. As a result, Demandware provides enough horsepower to support your peak selling season. In fact, Demandware has been tested to support millions of page views and more than 5,000 orders per hour.

Since the Demandware grid computing architecture has no single point of failure, we can typically provide a much higher service level than traditional hosted ecommerce sites or in-house IT.
