Enterprise Content Management Performance at a Fraction of the Cost of
Proprietary Offerings
LONDON, Jan. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Alfresco Software, Inc., the leader in
open source enterprise content management (ECM), today announced that it
reached and exceeded the 100 million document mark in an independently
certified benchmark test of Alfresco Enterprise 2.1, conducted by Unisys
Corporation, in compliance with predetermined benchmark rules.
The benchmark was conducted on an eight-way Unisys ES7000/one
Enterprise Server employing dual core Intel Xeon processor technology,
using a MySQL database and a Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system. The
benchmark demonstrated the readiness of Alfresco for enterprise-class ECM
with:
-- Continuous, transactionally safe upload of more than 100 million
objects
-- Linear scalability of 140 objects per second
-- Sub-second access times from standard clients - shared drive, file
transfer protocol and web client
-- Linear scalability for large repository search
"This benchmark drew on Unisys' long experience providing integrated,
enterprise-class ECM solutions with a range of partners," said Anthony
Gold, vice president and general manager, Open Source Business, Unisys.
"Modeling the most common customer transactions in an environment that
would exceed most customer sizing requirements, this benchmark demonstrates
the performance capability that Alfresco 2.1 brings to the requirements of
large enterprise customers."
"Alfresco was designed from day one to offer the industry-leading ECM
scalability and high-availability required by the Global 2000," said John
Newton, CTO, Alfresco Software. "This allows Alfresco to deliver linear
scalability without artificial limits forcing content to be spread over
multiple site collections with severe performance degradation as the size
of the repository increases."
Alfresco is the open source ECM of choice of the Global 2000. The
company now has more than 300 customers, including the American Stock
Exchange, Boise Cascade, Christian Science Monitor, Informa and the
Nebraska State Legislature. The community version of Alfresco's open source
ECM has been downloaded more than 700,000 times.
In late 2006, Unisys became Alfresco's first Platinum-level Systems
Integration partner, adding the Alfresco open source software suite and
relationship to its strong global ECM solution and partner portfolio that
today serves hundreds of major clients. Unisys also became an Alfresco
Platinum Reseller early in 2007.
Alfresco and Unisys expect to conduct further benchmark testing in the
near future. For more information about the results of the Alfresco
