Scalability should not be an issue for an enterprise product. On the other hand, I think scalability can be better or easier to do. But I don't really have a good perspective on this because we have not yet experienced a situation where it was necessary to scale-up. Customers already design virtual service environments to cover beyond usable capacity since the first place.

However, if capacity really needs increasing we can raised them up around 30% without increasing hardware by using in-memory processing instead of database processing.

In terms of scalability, I have designed one of the biggest Service Virtualization systems where I'm running a bunch of assets.

In my opinion, I have seen the scalability and I know that it goes from the network to the apps.

In terms of technology, the scalability is good and robust. It varies from industry to industry, and it is dependent on your business model and your technology landscape. There are a lot of “ifs and buts”.

I’ve had no problems with scale build. I’ve run, we’re doing a service gateway stress test right now in our production-like environment to understand if this gateway that we purchase is gonna be scalable for our big retail time period, fourth quarter time period. The service gateway said that they virtualize services which their definition of virtual services is different than a testing industry’s description of it. So I had to create my own endpoint, expose it through the gateway, execute stress test against it, and my bottleneck ended up being on the service gateway not on the virtual endpoint, and we were hitting well over 1,600 transactions per second. And my memory footprint on virtual machines. So that’s a virtual machine running service virtualization to was my CPU was probably right around 40 percent or so. So I still had way more scalability to go off this one instance.

We threw tens of thousands of requests per hour at it, totaling hundreds of thousands of requests, but the box seems as if it were just idle as it handled the load. It scales very well.

We plan on virtualizing significantly more things in the next three to six months. We don't feel the need to have to change hardware, buy additional licenses, or add more servers. We feel we're ready to go for quite a while.

We have yet to implement this tool on a large scale. So far, we have only worked on client demos.

The tool by itself is scalable. It does not have load-balancing capabilities, but the competitors don't either. I don't know if you really need to have that kind of capability, although that is one of the enhancement requests that we have been talking to Micro Focus about, and we'll continue to go down that path.

The tool is scalable. For example, we have about 60 or so services deployed to one single license of Micro Focus at any given time, of Micro Focus service virtualization. I would rate the stability and the scalability high up there.

I don't have any problems with it. From a bare metal standpoint, we used to simply just throw in another pizza box. I know the HPE 380 is able to scale out our solutions fast and easy.

It's been extremely scalable as far as the testing that we've done with our customers. They've all been really satisfied with the scalability of the HPE products.
