IRIS Payment Platform Benchmarks with IBM Power 8

This case-study describes TPS IRIS Payment Platform’s benchmark performance test carried out in IBM Customer Center in Montpellier, France. The performance test comprised of a mix of real-life customer transactions with complete business validation intact. The test was performed on simulators representing bank channels connected to the latest version of IRIS Switch and Card Management System (CMS). The results of benchmark performance test exceeded all the expectations. At its peak performance, IRIS Switch processed 18,611 transactions per second and IRIS CMS was able to top 7,121 transactions per second. These results reflects the high scalability of IRIS. The combination of IRIS running on IBM Power8 servers makes it a very viable solution for banks and processors that seek robust performance with full reliability.
