Strangeloop WS1000 Web Services Accelerator

Exceptional Performance for Web Services

Organizations increasingly rely on web services and Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) to integrate enterprise and legacy applications and provide dynamic content to new web applications. When such web applications slow down, some of the typical strategies for performance enhancement have been to: optimize the back-end software; upgrade server hardware; optimize the front-end Web services code.  Organizations are finding that such efforts are not a one-time project, since a dynamic Web environment demands constant upgrades to deal with changes in load and usage.

Now there is more cost-effective and lower risk solution that should be the first step in any Web services optimization effort.  The Strangeloop WS1000 Web Services Accelerator is the first appliance designed specifically to address this Web services performance challenge. The Strangeloop WS1000 integrates seamlessly with installed systems, complements any existing performance technologies, and delivers significant results as soon as it is deployed in production. 

Installed between Web applications and back-end servers, the Strangeloop WS1000 uses Strangeloop's innovative Dynamic Choreography System to automatically cache Web services and accelerate enterprise applications.  A non-intrusive solution, it delivers dramatic performance improvements without any need to modify code.

Through constant monitoring of Web services requests, caching and performance, the Strangeloop WS1000 keeps track of response times and frequency of requests, then adjusts its caching decisions as new Web services or more users alter usage patterns and load. 

Companies can eliminate or at least significantly delay the need for more hardware, and development teams can focus resources on enhancing features and reduce the time and cost of delivering Web services-enabled applications.  

With the Strangeloop WS100, enterprises can reap the benefits of SOA and Web integration services without paying a performance penalty.
