Pegasystems Sets New Scale and Performance Standard on IBM System z
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Benchmark Test Confirms Pega Solutions Can Scale to Performance Demands of the
World's Largest Enterprises
READING, UK--(Marketwire - March 4, 2011) - Pegasystems (NASDAQ: PEGA), the
leader in business process management (BPM) solutions, today announced the
results of a benchmark test of Pega running on IBM System z mainframe servers.
The benchmark validates Pegasystems' ability to scale to meet the needs of the
world's largest enterprises.
The benchmark test was conducted in partnership with Medco Health Solutions, a
US health care company providing pharmacy services. Medco ranks #35 on the
Fortune 500 list, and has been named among the world's most admired, most
innovative, and most trustworthy companies. Test scenarios from the 10,000-user
benchmark include the most complex business processes with increasing workload
peak transaction rates. The tests ran during 40 - 100 minute continuous periods
with no wait state between transactions and were supplemented by an endurance
test running transactions for up to16 continuous hours to confirm stability
while scaling.
The test results exceeded all performance goals, and surpassed the performance
of a 32,000-user benchmark previously conducted by Pegasystems and IBM. The
results also proved large enterprises could rely on Pegasystems for consistent
linear scalability. The scalability factor during testing remained constant
whether scaling up vertically with more computing power or scaling out
horizontally with more traffic and solution instances. The benchmark was
conducted using the Pega BPM engine driving the Pega call center application
running on z/Linux with zOS and DB2.
This benchmark took place at the Washington, D.C. IBM Center for Solutions
Innovation in Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA.
"Pegasystems is our fundamental platform for business innovation as we drive our
agile enterprise initiatives to support continued growth," said Kenneth Klepper,
President and COO at Medco Health Solutions. "We rely on both IBM and
Pegasystems as we roll out our transformation agenda across the enterprise, and
are pleased to see how this technology can support and anticipate our most
expansive needs."
"We were delighted with the test results which prove unequivocally the
superiority of Pega in scaling to address the needs of enterprise clients
committed to business transformation," said Alan Trefler, Founder and CEO of
Pegasystems. "We consider our ongoing support for enterprise platforms, such as
IBM System z, a key enabler for organisations that are committed to enterprise
transformation. This benchmark validates that even the largest of enterprises
can achieve a rapid return on investment with a business technology that can
keep up with their demanding goals for growth."
