Marqui Doubles Web Performance with Strangeloop Networks(TM) AS1000 Application Scaling Appliance

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Mar 31 (MARKET WIRE) --
Strangeloop Networks(TM) Inc., a leading provider of framework-specific
solutions that accelerate dynamic Web applications, today announced that
Marqui, a leading provider of on-demand marketing automation and Web
content management software, has deployed Strangeloop's AS1000
Application Scaling Appliance and has doubled Website performance on its
Microsoft ASP.NET applications.

Marqui provides easy-to-use Web content management and an integrated
suite of online marketing tools to more than 300 customers across North
America. Through its software-as-a-service model, Marqui helps their
clients manage and edit their Website content and grow their brand and
online marketing efforts through real-time campaign management, search
engine optimization, site search, customer relationship management, and
Web analytics. Marqui also hosts their clients' Websites, providing a
complete Web marketing solution.

"Our customers are trusting us with not only their management solution,
but more critically, their online presence, so end-user experience is
extremely important to us. We built Marqui on ASP.NET to take advantage
of rapid feature deployment and to provide a rich user experience. Our
challenge is to continually add new features that make it faster and
easier for our clients to design and execute online marketing programs,
all the while ensuring exceptional performance," said Jackie Reid,
Marqui's Vice President of client services. "With the Strangeloop AS1000
Application Scaling Appliance in place, our customers saw immediate
performance improvements on their Web pages, and we doubled the number of
hosted Website customers on our application server, all while freeing up
our developers to concentrate on building additional feature sets rather
than worrying about performance issues."

Designed as an easy to deploy network appliance, the Strangeloop AS1000
sits between the Web servers and the network, and requires no changes to
a company's infrastructure or to the applications themselves. The
Strangeloop AS1000 appliance uses framework-specific application
acceleration techniques to boost the performance of dynamic Web
applications built with Microsoft ASP.NET and AJAX.

"Marqui is a unique user of the Strangeloop AS1000 because they are both
providing an online service and hosting customers' Websites, all based on
Microsoft ASP.NET framework. Developing and supporting these highly
dynamic, Web 2.0 applications is a difficult challenge. Marqui is
dedicated to providing its clients exceptional Website performance,
24/7," said Jonathan Bixby, Strangeloop's chief executive officer.
"Marqui's ability to successfully fulfill its customers' application
needs while vastly improving their own scalability underscores the
ability of the AS1000 to allow ASP.NET applications to perform and scale,
easily and efficiently, even under rigorous environments."
