Chennai, Tamilnadu, September 1, 2008 /India PRwire/ -- GoFrugal Technologies and IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced the certification of RayMedi Head Quarters, a Web-based software product targeted towards the retail chain shops.

It helps in controlling expenses, decreasing costs and increasing business profits.

GoFrugal tested RayMedi HQ in IBM Innovation Center for Business Partners, located at Bangalore, with IBM WebSphere Application Server. RayMedi HQ was also tested on IBM System i on Linux and IBM System p on AIX V6.1. While the solution is optimized to run 800 concurrent users loaded on IBM System x with IBM WebSphere V6.1, the average concurrent users are likely to be 200. A sizing guide was prepared for 200 concurrent user deployment. This testing helped GoFrugal set the performance and scalability benchmark for its flagship product RayMedi HQ.
