Connection Management
Stampede manages network connections in several ways to optimize the flow of data and reduce the impact on the network, application servers and end-user devices. First of all, the Stampede FX Series appliance maintains a consistent pool of connections between itself and the Web application servers. The application servers are then offloaded from managing the connections, and are isolated from inadvertent session disconnects. With Stampede's Client technology, working with the FX Series appliance, a persistent connection between the client and server is always maintained, even when the browser may close and reopen a session. These sessions are also multiplexed across multiple connections, improving throughput and response time. This persistent connection capability is extremely important with the new wave of AJAX and Web 2.0 applications that are constantly opening and closing sessions as they poll and access various Web services. Stampede eliminates this potentially network intrusive overhead.
Traditional TCP applications that use Winsock (TCP Layer 5) are sometimes overlooked with today's emphasis on Web-based browser applications. Stampede's Advanced Winsock Layer 5 client, maintains persistent virtual connections between the client and server application. Should a network connection or session be abnormally disconnected, the FX Series appliance will maintain the session with the application server, and then re-establish the connection with the client when possible. Session affinity is maintained, and no data is lost by the end-user.
“We needed to cut connection costs without degrading the end-user experience. For dial-in access to 800 numbers, we’ve realized a 65 percent cut in costs, and the overall system speed for data transfer has been increased by a factor of 3 times. This means salespeople spend less time waiting for system administration issues and can get on with the business of being highly productive.”
