					<description>
The aim of this project is to provide a front-end to a search engine (RMC). It allows to view customers who subscribed to different Orange's offers as a unique client.

Development was in Java 1.4 and had to meet tight performance criteria while supporting high availability and massive scalability: more than 1 To of data, 10 seconds maximum reply delay, 30 000 requests per hour.

In charge of benchmark, installation procedure and a message simulator that used Excel as front-end and Java as parser.
