Strangeloop WS1000 Web Services Accelerator

Exceptional Performance for Web Services

The Strangeloop WS1000 Web Services Accelerator is the first appliance to improve enterprise application performance by accelerating web services. Enterprises are increasingly relying on web services and Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) to provide dynamic content for new web applications and to integrate existing, legacy, and new applications. But the very nature of dynamic web applications is putting a growing strain on the applications that provide the web services, as they find themselves repetitively serving content to fulfill similar requests from multiple applications. In addition, these applications and data stores frequently run on large and expensive mainframe servers that weren’t designed for these new loads.

Strangeloop WS1000 Web Services Accelerator was designed specifically to address this web services performance challenge. Located between the web services server and the consuming server (typically a web application), the WS1000 dramatically reduces the load on the servers and increases application performance.

With the Strangeloop WS1000 Web Services Accelerator:

  • IT staff ensure high performance for web services–enabled applications without embarking on large, complex software integration projects or investing in expensive server upgrades
  • Development can reduce the time and cost required to deliver web services–enabled applications
  • Enterprises reap the benefits of SOA and integration with web services without paying a performance penalty

The Strangeloop WS1000 Web Services Accelerator is the low-risk, low-cost solution that offers immediate, substantial performance improvements for applications relying on web services for dynamic content.
