e-Optimization Scalability
Successful Internet applications need to be easily scalable. Ask eBay, AOL, Amazon.com, Chas. Schwab, E-Loan, . . .
The scalable e-optimization computing environment:
- Ability to operate on a heterogeneous system of powerful commodity workstations.
- e-Optimization application should be easily installed on any new node in the system regardless of H/W and OS.
The scalability questions should be competitive price and fast delivery of new hardware, not “Will it work on that machine?”
