Internet Business Consulting Services(iBCScorp) recently completed load balancing and scaling projects for a Penny Auction website located in Melbourne, Australia. The website had issues with balancing the load of traffic to their site.   “Congratulations YOU JUST WON!” These are some of the words you can hope to see on the site.  This online bidding site (penny auction) where if you are the highest bidder, you win the product at a low price. It’s a way to get a variety of items for a better value than you would in a store. Due to the popularity of the site, it has been receiving large amounts of traffic. When this bidding company contacted IBCScorp, their site was loading at speeds not conducive to properly conduct the auction count down timer. iBCScorp resolved the site issue by modifying and installing a multiple support server strategy. This enabled the site to function more efficiently.  The client is now being supported on four application servers, one database server, a caching server and a load balancer. By having the site supported on several servers it efficiently handles the traffic load the site is currently receiving. iBCScorp updated the clients site by moving the site over to amazon’s AWS Service to provide strong scalability. Ongoing support for the site will continue and iBCScorp will also work to optimize the caching system and several underlying sub systems to help provide for a better user experience, and improve efficiency so the cost per user can be brought down as low as possible. iBCScorp specializes in web applications and database development. Their main office is located in St. George, Utah. To contact them, call 435-215-4674 or you can visit their website at: www.ibcscorp.com
