Capacity Planning

Purposes

Internet commerce is complex. It involves several kinds of data that must be handled in appropriate ways at the right time. Some of the controlling considerations for an Internet commerce site include:

• The company wants to sell products or services to customers via the Internet.
• The company requires that the customer transactions be both secure and reliable.
• The site will usually have data feeds and batch jobs between the site and back-end systems (accounts receivable and payable, inventory, fulfillment vendors, and so on).
