- Leading French Hosting Architect Chooses Crescendo`s AppBeat DC to Accelerate
Over 15,000 Mission Critical Web Sites in the Cloud -
MENLO PARK, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
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."
