Place WebFOCUS closest to the source of the data to
minimize the transfer of data across the network.
Spend time optimizing your databases, providing
quick access to data is critical on the web.
Install monitoring tools to quickly identify
performance bottlenecks.
Investigate load balancing hardware and software to
distribute the work requests.
Since Information Builders offers data access tools
for all platforms and database formats, the location of
the data is dictated by the number of users and effort
of porting the databases to new platforms.
WebFOCUS recognizes security on all platforms.
