- Manage thousands of complex data sets, rules and models
- Process millions of transactions a day
- Adapt to your evolving enterprise architecture and governance model
Ensure your application is always up and running
REPLICATION
- Create multiple instances of the same application
- Replicate specific code, data, and user repositories
LOAD BALANCER
- Distribute the work of your application through our built-in load balancer
- Meet your desired uptime and response time requirements
Replication and load balancing ensure that there is no single point of failure. Achieve high availability in development and auto-scaling in production.
