Solution
The common problem across all of these situations is surge traffic—
access concentrated within a short period.
Adding servers
Expanding HA and DR structures
Scaling out the CDN
Over-sizing infrastructure
However, these approaches design infrastructure around "peak traffic" rather than "average traffic."
Lower average resource utilization
Cost structures that persist even after traffic subsides
And yet outages are still not fully eliminated
Excessive CapEx / OpEx
The essence of the problem is not the number of servers, but a structure that fails to control the number of concurrently processed transactions.
The Core Concept of Flow Control
Active User :
users making real-time requests +
users currently being served

Key Features
When the configured processing capacity is exceeded, traffic is automatically routed into a queue, preventing performance degradation and the spread of failures.
Supporting first-come-first-served (FIFO) and randomized access policies, it ensures both fairness and flexibility according to the nature of the event.
Built on a cloud architecture, it is suited to large-scale global traffic handling and applies across web, mobile, and app environments.
It detects and blocks abnormal automated traffic and macro-based access to maintain queue integrity.
It offers various implementation options—client-side, server-side, and CDN/Edge integration—for flexible application to existing infrastructure environments.
Key Features
Real-Time Inbound-Traffic Monitoring and Control
It analyzes transaction volume in real time and adjusts user flow within permitted limits.
Provision of Wait Information
By providing queue position and estimated wait time, it reduces user uncertainty and stabilizes the experience.
Standalone Architecture
It places no excessive burden on the existing WAS/DB structure and can form an independent control layer.
GUI-Based Operations Management
A web-based admin console enables policy changes, threshold adjustments, and real-time situation monitoring.
Strengthened Security and Access Control
It detects and blocks bypass attempts and abnormal access to maintain service fairness and stability.
The Differentiated Value SIMPLEKEY Creates
By linking the infrastructure (HCI, virtualization, cloud) with traffic-control policy, it implements a cost-efficient operations framework based on Smart Sizing.
Beyond simple web-access control, it combines with AICC and customer-response systems to design a structure that manages even consultation traffic during access surges.
Combined with IT operations services, it continuously manages queue policies and provides a monitoring framework capable of immediate response when events occur.
How It Works
03 | When the threshold is exceeded, the user is moved to a virtual waiting room
04 | Automatic, position-based admission
Applied Policies
Bypass
Wait & Process
Automatic entry after waiting in line
Block
Blocking of abnormal access
All of these processes are designed to maintain system stability
without harming the user experience.
