SLI Systems Turbocharges Online Search with Azul

Searches are twice as fast now and systems capacity has increased by 130%.

Challenge
  • Recently acquired by Avolin, SLI Systems, a provider of cloud-based search tools for online retailers (SLI is an acronym for Search, Learn, and Improve), needed to improve query and response times, increase systems capacity, and reduce developer time spent tuning and working around limitations of its Java runtime platform.
Solution
  • SLI Systems implemented Azul Platform Prime to improve scalability of its existing infrastructure, increase throughput, and deliver consistent response times especially during unpredictable periods such as seasonal holidays.
Result
  • With Azul Platform Prime, searches are twice as fast and total systems capacity has increased by 130%. This reduces shopping cart abandonment rates, makes product recommendation and pricing engines more effective, and ultimately allows the customer to make more timely decisions.

“Azul Platform Prime provides e-commerce shoppers with a better on-line experience by reducing query and response times. We have achieved these benefits while also increasing our total systems capacity by 130%, using much larger memory heaps without problematic garbage collection pauses and without the need to constantly tune the JVM like we had to do before deploying Azul.”
