Stampede Application Acceleration Series Leading Edge Features

When Used as a Single-Sided Solution

When implemented as a single-sided solution with just an appliance, the Stampede Application Acceleration Series provides:

• Application Firewalling
  Protects your enterprise and applications from attacks caused by unauthorized transactions

• Load Balancing
  Intelligently distributes the transaction workload across multiple Web Application servers

• TCP Connection Management
  Removes the burden of establishing and terminating TCP connections from the Web servers

• Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Offloading
  Eliminates the overhead of SSL key and encryption processing from the Web servers

• GZIP Compression
  Uses standard techniques to compress data sent to browsers

• Image Reduction
  Automatically reduces the size of images sent to minimize bandwidth consumption on slower connections

• Static Caching
  Maintains copies of routinely accessed data to eliminate unnecessary requests to the Web servers

• High Availability Configurations
  Multiple appliances can provide enhanced application load balancing and workload sharing, as well as high availability and fault tolerant options.  Read more here.

When Used as a Two-sided Solution

By adding Stampede's visionary client software to end-user devices, the ultimate in bi-directional acceleration is achieved through:

• Cache Differencing
  Maintains a coherent copy of the browser’s cache on both the client and the appliance, transmitting only the dynamic changes across the network
  

• Bi-directional Compression
  Data size is reduced through extremely efficient and intelligent compression techniques
  

• Multiplexing of Large Data Objects
  Through a technology we call TurboStreaming™, even previously compressed objects can be delivered up to 5 times faster
  

• SSL Client-side Termination
  All other acceleration solutions see the data after it has already been encrypted. Stampede’s patent-pending technology intercepts the SSL data at the client, applies our acceleration technology to that data, and then securely accelerates it across the network

• Advanced Virtual Pipelining
  The ability to pipeline browser traffic across many TCP sessions, providing 40% performance gains
  

• CIFS Acceleration
  Fast and efficient access to centrally located files and data

• Content Distribution  -  Pre-cachng
  Enables predefined content to be distributed to end users during off-peak hours
