Daleen Announces Record Benchmark Results Achieved Running New RevChain Solution on a Single Server.Business Editors & High Tech Writers Unmatched Scalability and Throughput Achieved on the HP Superdome(TM), Equal to Billing More Than 48 Million Subscribers Per Month BOCA RATON Boca Raton (bō`kə rətōn`), city (1990 pop. 61,492), Palm Beach co., SE Fla., on the Atlantic; inc. 1925. Boca Raton is a popular resort and retirement community that experienced significant industrial development in the 1970s and 80s. , Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 20, 2001 Daleen Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq:DALN), a global provider of software that manages the revenue chain for next-generation service, enterprise business and technology solutions providers, today announced that during recent performance benchmark testing, its RevChain(TM) Commerce application produced the highest levels of throughput and scalability ever reported for a pre-configured, modular billing system. These are the first benchmark tests conducted on Daleen's new RevChain product line and new Internet See Web 2.0 and Internet2. Integration Architecture (IIA (1) (Information Industry Association, Washington, DC) In 1999, IIA merged with SPA (Software Publishers Association) to become the Software & Information Industry Association. See SIIA. )(TM), which the company introduced in February 2001. The benchmark tests were conducted at Hewlett-Packard's lab facility in Cupertino, Calif. on the HP Superdome, a single server equipped with 64 550-MHz processors, using a subscriber base of 40 million accounts. Under these conditions, RevChain Commerce successfully billed for 120 million complex service usage records (SURs) per hour, which equates to billing more than 48 million subscribers per month on a single server, and pre-processed and rated 22 million SURs per hour. These results mark a four- and ten-fold increase respectively in throughput compared to similar tests conducted on the company's BillPlex solution in 2000. Daleen performed its benchmark tests under realistic usage scenarios to investigate and report on performance capabilities that are relevant to its partners and customers. The number of bills per hour a system generates is a critical measurement of its performance. While usage processing is usually ongoing throughout the month, once the billing cycle Billing cycle The time elapsed between billing periods for goods sold or services rendered. ends, service providers must process and deliver invoices to their customers as quickly and efficiently as possible. Another priority for tier-one and emerging providers is the ability to support their rapidly expanding subscriber bases and product offerings. Daleen's IIA enables linear scalability so service providers can cluster additional servers to exponentially ex·po·nen·tial adj. 1. Of or relating to an exponent. 2. Mathematics a.

"The results we were able to achieve using the RevChain solution in a single-server environment reinforce the strength of its new pure Internet-based architecture and the flexibility of its rating engine, which can handle complex usage records as easily as simple IP records," said Steve Kim Steve Kim (born April 16 1977[1]) is a Korean-American hip hop artist who is a member of the Korean hip-hop group Uptown.
