Leading Romanian Online Service Portal, Neogen, Accelerates Delivery of Web Applications with Crescendo Networks
With 12 websites and more than 760 million page views a month, Neogen relies on Crescendo’s AppBeat™ DC to optimize Web performance
TEL AVIV, Israel & MENLO PARK, Calif. – October 13, 2008 – Crescendo Networks, Ltd., the recognized performance leader in accelerating and optimizing Web applications, today announced that Neogen, Romania’s largest Web services portal, is using AppBeat™ DC’s TCP multiplexing, load balancing, compression and layer 7 switching features to accelerate the overall delivery of its Web content to millions of users a month.
“Before deploying AppBeat DC, our user growth was causing our sites to load very slowly. In addition, we were having redundancy problems whenever a Web server went down,†said Zoltan Farczadi, CTO at Neogen. “Since deploying the AppBeat DC product our page load times have improved dramatically. We’ve gone from a slow/very slow rating in Alexa, to fast/very fast. And more importantly, our customers are experiencing lighting-speed load times for pages and content.â€
Neogen is one of Romania’s leading online portals. The company offers searching and matching services for a variety of verticals including employment, home, automotive, social networking and more. Last month, the company received more than 760 million total page views across 12 sites, with an average load time of less than one second for www.Neogen.ro.
“AppBeat DC really allows us to offload some of the processing-intensive tasks from our Web servers, and optimizes and accelerates the delivery of the content to our end-users. When we first tested the solution, the performance was fantastic, and it also fit into our existing architecture, without making any significant modifications. We’ve been very happy with the solution and it’s worked just as we’d expected,†added Farczadi.
AppBeat DC provides high availability, scalability, acceleration and optimization for Web applications. Unlike competing solutions, AppBeat DC leverages the industry’s only purpose-built platform, uniquely designed for maximum performance and feature concurrency. By offloading servers from process-intensive tasks and optimizing the delivery of the application to users, AppBeat DC significantly improves overall application performance, security and availability while reducing datacenter costs.
“Neogen has a variety of websites and its servers process a tremendous amount of information and content each day. AppBeat DC is a perfect compliment to their existing infrastructure and allows them to focus more on developing new applications and content, rather than worrying about the effective delivery of that information,†said Adoram Ga’ash, CEO of Crescendo Networks.
