Scalability and Performance
“90% of our revenues come from our web activities. That is why I need a robust and agile web platform, so that I can react fast and also get a good night's sleep - every day. With Sitecore I get both.”
CTO Per Palmkvist Knudsen, Krak.
Krak.dk is running on Sitecore CMS and is on the top 3 most visited Danish websites with more than a million unique visitors per week.
How One Company Doubled Performance with Sitecore
On websites and in jet fighter dogfights, speed is life. Websites that don’t respond quickly to visitors, quickly lose those visitors. We, as consumers, have grown accustomed to instant access to all things internet, and no longer tolerate sluggish websites; make us wait 5 seconds and we’re gone. However, as a website grows in complexity and sophistication, this becomes ever increasingly hard to do, while it becomes more and more important.
Faster than a speeding bullet
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s just a Sitecore web-farm serving your customers at blistering speeds. We’ll let you in on a little known fact: Sitecore is running many of the world’s largest and most mission-critical web properties. While many of our large accounts wish to remain confidential, we can tell you that the largest Sitecore web farm to date consists of 400 front-end servers and we have implementations that deliver more than 28 million Sitecore XML documents. From a performance standpoint, our client was able to double performance of their website using Sitecore, over their own previous hand-coded solution. The real kicker was that our client's previous solution was a well optimized and developed application, but Sitecore has dedicated tremendous efforts to design the most efficient and optimized dynamic caching system, bar none. It’s something you can’t just hand-code into your application overnight. And speaking of ROI, reducing the need for a couple hundred front-end servers is something any CFO will appreciate hearing more about.
