Accelerating the New Generation of Web 2.0, SOA, AJAX and XML Applications

The emergence of new Web 2.0 applications using Service Oriented Architectures (SOA), Asynchronous Javascript And XML (AJAX) and Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) technologies brings great promise of unprecedented productivity and functionality.  However, all of these technologies leave networks gasping for throughput and more headroom. Existing application performance issues remain, while new delivery challenges arise.  Only a complete solution designed for these dynamic network intrusive applications can effectively accelerate the entire enterprise.

New Challenges Include

• Polling paradigms that greatly increase network traffic

• Constant opening and closing of TCP connections

• Dramatically increased amount of data with XML

• XML Schema validation overloads Web application servers

• Content Routing of XML traffic

• New security issues caused by use of XML

• Increased use of SSL

Stampede FX Series

All of these issues are addressed with the Stampede FX Series, a family of products designed to meet the challenges of new enterprise applications, while consolidating the functionality of application acceleration, WAN optimization and application front-end solutions onto a single comprehensive offering.  Stampede's visionary two-sided approach to acceleration combines an appliance at the data center with unique client technology to provide the ultimate in bi-directional acceleration.  The result is maximized performance, improved productivity and a reduction or elimination of costs related to network or Web server upgrades.

"There's a growing use of AJAX and XML applications on personal computers, and those XML and HTML data streams can use a lot of bandwidth. Compression by external appliances is difficult, because those data streams are often encrypted as they pass over the network, even when they're inside an enterprise's walls. That's why there's a real need for solutions designed for AJAX, XML, and HTML that run inside the personal computer and improve protocol performance, provide bi-directional advanced compression, and work with encryption," according to Eric Siegel, Senior Analyst, Burton Group.

The Stampede FX Series builds upon the success and history of delivering robust Client software platform by integrating new performance-enhancing Application Optimization Services with streamlined Client Services that include Stampede's latest innovation -- Acceleration On-Demand.

As a comprehensive two-sided solution, the FX Series integrates various acceleration services at the appliance with functionality at the client to offload, optimize and protect the enterprise.  Click on the graphic, or read more about Stampede's Optimization Services.
