UPDATE: Grants.gov Production Test

The preliminary results from the production “stress test” over the weekend are positive. The system processed 10,000 applications over a 24 hour period. Our team is compiling a report on the test.

Please keep in mind, the next step to enhance system capacity will occur as part of Build 2008 – 03 on January 10, 2009. This build reconfigures the LDAP, increasing the number of concurrent users up to 2,000.

Once the January 10, 2009 build is complete submission processing times should improve. Grants.gov is in the processing of quantifying existing processing speeds to identify the improvement once the build is complete.
