Crescendo Networks, the recognized performance leader for accelerating and optimizing application delivery for Web properties, announced today that Internet Fr chose Crescendo’s application delivery controller to ensure the performance and reliability of its highly scalable and newly defined cloud hosting infrastructure.

“Our quality-of-service requirements are extremely high in response to hosting many of the top global and corporate on-demand web properties. Predictability and performance are key metrics, which drive our success. Protection against DDoS attacks and flash crowd events were two major results we needed to witness during our performance testing,” said Dominque Morvan, Director General at Internet Fr. “After looking at several application delivery solutions, we selected Crescendo Networks’ AppBeat DC for its advanced acceleration and compression capabilities. During testing, AppBeat DC outperformed its closest competitor by over 300% in throughput. Crescendo was the most reliable vendor without question.”

AppBeat DC is an application delivery controller that delivers optimal application performance while increasing server efficiency. Deployed on a purpose-built platform using dedicated hardware engines with parallel processors, AppBeat DC offloads processing-intensive tasks from servers and combines multiple acceleration features in one highly scalable appliance. Its unique, distributed architecture outperforms other solutions that experience performance degradation and resource contention when multiple features are enabled. Web sites typically see up to a 70% improvement in site response times.

“Internet Fr has a very sophisticated IT infrastructure that requires high performance and efficiencies in server utilization and bandwidth costs. Fast, consistent performance is critical when supporting top global commerce sites,” said Adoram Ga’ash, CEO of Crescendo Networks. “AppBeat DC delivers more capacity and performance in a cloud environment because its hardware architecture is built to do just that. We are consistently seeing that our proprietary TCP offload and HTTP multiplexing features are key to Crescendo coming out on top.”
