In the early hours of Wednesday morning this week we executed out a 100,000 user load test against the web site of a well-known UK retailer.  Their were several facets to the test, but included an 'extreme' ramp up to 80,000 users over 2 mins. The web site held up extremely well under this heavy load.

The load test was performed using the SCL loadTEST Expert service.
