Product Life Cycle (PLC) Stages


The Product Life Cycle (PLC) is based upon the biological life cycle. For example, a seed is planted (introduction); it begins to sprout (growth); it shoots out leaves and puts down roots as it becomes an adult (maturity); after a long period as an adult the plant begins to shrink and die out (decline).


  • Each product may have a different life cycle
  • PLC determines revenue earned
  • Contributes to strategic marketing planning
  • May help the firm to identify when a product needs support, redesign, reinvigorating, withdrawal, etc.
  • May help in new product development planning
  • May help in forecasting and managing cash flow

8 common methods for server performance optimization

  1. Use an in-memory database In-memory database is actually a database that puts data in memory and operates directly. Compared with the disk, the data read and write speed of the memory is several orders of magnitude higher. Saving the data in the memory can greatly improve the performance of the application compared to accessing it from the disk. The memory database abandoned the traditional way of disk data management, redesigned the architecture based on all data in memory, and made corresponding improvements in data caching, fast algorithms, and parallel operations, so the data processing speed is faster than that of traditional databases. Data processing speed is much faster.       But the problem of security can be said to be the biggest flaw in the memory database. Because the memory itself has the natural defect of power loss, when we use the memory database, we usually need to take some protection mechanisms for the data on the memory in advance, such...
