Strangeloop - Scaling ASP.NET with a Flick of a Switch!!
Writing scaleable apps in ASP.NET is not an easy task. Teams often wrestle with being productive (focusing on features) vs building a well architected and scalable solution.
Here's another scenario. What if you have already deployed your apps and need to meet performance requirements you never anticipated when you first released? Do you re-architect/re-build? How much time and money would that take? What if you could "flick a switch" and increase the performance and scalability of your site by 50%/100%/200%?
If that possibility excites you - so will Strangloop's AppScaler. You must check out what this box will do for you without ANY code changes to any of your existing ASP.NET web applications. Literally, with a flick of a switch this network device will come to life and analyze the traffic going back and forth between your users and your servers and continually find ways to optimize traffic - a literal gift from the heavens for dynamic or AJAX based web sites.
Keep a close eye on this company, as I personally believe this is one of the most innovative network devices since the network load balancer.
