Give Your Web Sites and Networks a Favor: Give them BoostEdge!

Make network bottlenecks and sluggish sites a thing of the past with BoostEdge from ActivNetworks. It’s time to accelerate response times while decreasing traffic flows. BoostEdge improves response times by 3X (up to 10x) and divides WAN data flow by up to 4. BoostEdge secures your servers and data and offloads traffic so your servers can really do what they’re meant to: Compute apps as quickly as possible.

 

Fast Networks and Bandwidth Efficient Web Sites

Improve the user experience of your web sites and networks, thanks to faster access speeds. BoostEdge uses a wide array of techniques to make waiting a thing of the past.

  • Secure Adaptive compression,
  • RAM cache: high-performance reverse cache,
  • Connection brokering: sharing and re-using connections,

Scalable as you Grow

Developed by experts in massively parallel processing, BoostEdge is designed to take full advantage of all the power of any multicore x86 platform. BoostEdge surpasses the limits of multiprocessing. It is not limited by the PCI bus output and can handle data traffic ranging from a few Mbps to tens of Gbps, making it ideal for any network architecture, from small businesses to massive Telecoms.

If you feel you need to boost network performance, don’t invest in more networks or servers. Just upgrade to a more powerful platform – BoostEdge will get faster, automatically – and so will your network. The only other expense will be a new BoostEdge license for the new appliance. It’s that simple.

Improve your serveurs’ availabiliy & reliability

High availability and load holding are essential to ensure the continued operation of an application. BoostEdge’s Level-7 load balancing meets these two objectives. Servers are grouped in clusters, and are symmetrical. BoostEdge distributes the load between the servers.

Furthermore, BoostEdge exceeds 99.999% availability and can be installed in redundant mode (active/active or active/passive). In active/active mode, BoostEdge multiplies its processing power and can thus hold peak traffic without having to oversize the platform in advance.
