Scalability

The ability to scale is dependent on all of the components involved. Any component that is not scalable may be perceived as a problem in another component. For example, if the network is slow, access to the database is affected, which affects Risk Management. Some configurations that can help with scaling are:

• Network infrastructure - a dedicated network
• Database - run the database on a separate machine or a multiple CPU machine.
• Messaging - run the messaging on a separate machine or a multiple CPU machine.
• File system - use a RAID system.
• Risk Management hosting machine - run Risk Management on multiple machines or a multiple CPU machine.
