The Strangeloop AS1000 Application Scaling Appliance is an easy and immediate solution to the inevitable performance challenges that companies using ASP.NET applications face. The appliance sits in-line between a company’s web servers and the network, and automatically optimizes ASP.NET and AJAX traffic, in real-time, with minimal changes to the code, the datacenter or the network infrastructure. The Strangeloop AS1000 improves the performance and scalability of dynamic web applications by intelligently reading requests and applying ASP.NET and AJAX software optimization techniques in the network, reducing payload sizes and browser and server compute times, resulting in decreased bandwidth needs and increased transaction capacity, ultimately speeding up web performance and enhancing end-user satisfaction.
"Getting an online ecommerce community like CABWorx to market is a very difficult and complex task," said Jonathan Bixby chief executive officer of Strangeloop. 'Performance and scalability ultimately affect the bottom line in terms of both customer conversions and the hidden costs of performance tuning the product itself."
