ARCHIBUS updates performance benchmarks for IWMS platforms

by Rebecca Walker — February 19, 2010—ARCHIBUS Inc., a leading developer worldwide of real estate, infrastructure, and facilities management software, has updated its sizing benchmarks for global IWMS (Integrated Workplace Management Systems) to reflect actual user experience and future needs, including centralizing global data, virtualized server management, and cloud computing.

The ARCHIBUS benchmarks derive from customer experience and from a multi-dimensional test plan ensures response times, CPU load, and memory use remain in check even as the number of users, servers and data grow to a global-enterprise scale. The test methodology uses a variety of configurations testing scale-up, scale-out, and virtualized strategies, and follows a wide range of real-world user profiles — from casual, to those using intensive dashboards and analytics, to those using Web-based graphics or interfaces involving CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and BIM (Building Information Modeling).

“ARCHIBUS is the most widely-deployed solution in the world with the longest continuous development of any package on the market, and all our users benefit from this field-tested experience,” explains Nick Stefanidakis, Director of Client Services. “I have confidence in the ARCHIBUS benchmarks for global IWMS deployments, because we use higher test loads than client sites typically face in production.”
