Compression
Compression removes non-essential information from data being moved from one location to another and then reassembles the data to its original form after the transfer is complete. Squeezing the data reduces network traffic and accelerates the delivery of time-sensitive information. Stampede's solutions utilize various compression techniques to reduce the amount of data that must be sent across the network. In a single-sided mode, the Stampede acceleration appliance utilizes GZIP to compress information that can be processed by standard browsers. This is useful for reducing the text portions of pages, but GZIP is not normally used for attachment compression or for inbound compression from the browser. In addition, GZIP cannot be used to compress HTTP headers, cookies or image data.
When Stampede's client software is deployed in a two-sided environment, bi-directional compression utilizing Stampede's techniques provides compression for:
- All HTTP Headers
- Application Cookies
- All Text and Data Objects
- JPEG files with Image Reduction, yielding very acceptable quality
- All attachments and file uploads and downloads
... all of which are dynamically adaptable based upon network speed and latency.
“Enterprise customers are increasingly deploying web-based applications throughout a global network. Many of these applications have proved too costly, complex or bandwidth-hungry to deploy effectively in retail or branch office environments. Yet, access to these applications is critical to meeting business objectives. Products that enhance the speed and delivery of web applications enable customers to maintain service levels throughout a distributed network.”
