Experience Report: Reengineering Standalone System into the Service-Partition Distributed Environment

Many enterprise systems were developed in standalone model since the end of the last century. Reengineering standalone systems into distributed environment has become a critical problem, as the standalone software can not meet the requirements of the new market. Methods have been proposed on related topics based on two classical distributed solutions, the symmetrical model and the unsymmetrical model. In this paper we report the experience in reengineering a standalone financial trading system into the service-partition distributed environment, which offers distinct advantages on horizontal scalability and performance over two classical distributed solutions.
