This follows the completion of a series of benchmarks at the Sun center in Menlo Park, California. The benchmark also demonstrated near linear horizontal scalability in running payments processing across a number of application servers.
The benchmarks were carried out using an 8-way Sun Fire Enterprise Server as the database server running Oracle 10g, and up to five 4 way Sun Fire V series servers as the application servers. The Dovetail Payments System was configured with two payment workflows: a complex, high value flow for individual, urgent US wire payments and a simple ACH flow, SEPA credit transfer using ISO20022 formats from the client and out to the clearing and settlement mechanism.
Pieter Heyn, global industry sales manager, payments of Sun, said: This is a powerful combination. Dovetail’s component-based technology is one of the leaders in the market. In combination with our technical team, Dovetail was able to load, optimize and achieve the target performance despite a very aggressive target turnaround from our customer. We are looking forward to increasing our collaboration with Dovetail in both engineering and joint-marketing opportunities.
Martin Coen, CEO of Dovetail, said: We are delighted with the results, and we’re looking forward to working closely with the team at Sun. Together, we’ll offer clients the optimum way to renovate their payments systems at low risk and at a pace that they can dictate. And, at last, they can have a single system for all payments.
