Social Media
Social media sites face unique challenges. The value of the site grows as the users and traffic increase, so traffic peaks occur frequently and without warning. Plus, these sites have to constantly add features to keep users engaged. And if the site is slow or unavailable, users can be fickle.
Crescendo Networks’ Web application delivery controller, AppBeat DC, helps many of the globe's leading social media sites keep their users happy and returning with consistent, fast and reliable Web application performance.
Crescendo's customers include:
Powerful benefits for social media sites:
- Faster performance: Content compression speeds delivery to the end user, while TCP multiplexing and server offload capabilities make the servers run faster. As a result, pages load up to 5 times faster using AppBeat DC.
- Flash crowd protection: AppBeat DC protects social media sites from heavy traffic surges by creating a normalized environment for servers and shielding them from malicious attacks and flash crowd events.
- Handle more traffic without more servers: By offloading compute-intensive tasks, AppBeat DC gives social media sites an instant boost in existing server capacity. You can handle more users and traffic without adding servers.
- Bandwidth optimization: Social media sites are all about content. AppBeat DC uses hardware-based compression to reduce bandwidth requirements up to 85% and accelerate content delivery to the end user.
- Improved reliability: In addition to the flash crowed protection, intelligent local and global load balancing protects your application from individual server or datacenter outages and ensures optimal reliability for users.
