Scaling
- Independence of resources
-
ECCO prevents performance degradation from shared demand by deploying in a single-tenancy environment. Each customer benefits from separate application and database instances, ensuring that one organisation's activity cannot exhaust resources required by another.
Infrastructure integrity is further maintained through Microsoft Azure security groups and proactive monitoring via New Relic and Site24x7. These tools track request performance and service availability, allowing for rapid response to potential latency. This architectural isolation, combined with a licensing model that supports unlimited concurrent users, ensures consistent performance regardless of broader system load.
