Mobile Edition offers "significant performance enhancement" by virtue of "TurboStreaming," intelligent cache differencing, image transformation, connection management, and load balancing. These optimization technologies support traditional HTTP/HTTPS, legacy TCP, and the emerging Web 2.0/AJAX application environments, Stampede said.
Other claimed performance-enhancing techniques include:
- Virtual pipelining -- allows multiple applications and web browser sessions to share many virtual TCP sessions, improving performance by 40 percent and better utilizing existing bandwidth.
- Surge protection -- monitors requests to application servers to eliminate overloading, resulting in more consistent server utilization and smoother response times.
- Persistent TCP layer 5 connections -- applications that connect to the host server over Winsock (TCP Layer 5) are protected from session or network failures. The Stampede client maintains a virtual session between the application and end user, and reestablishes the session context when a connection is reestablished.
- Advanced PDF optimization -- improves delivery of PDF files to the end user by up to 85 percent.
- Content Pre-Caching -- Enables enterprises to predefine content to be distributed, or cached, to end users during off-peak hours.
The technology supports Windows Mobile- and Linux-based devices, "from smartphones and PDAs to new application specific devices," according to the company.
AvailabilityStampede Application Acceleration Series -- Mobile Edition will ship in June, Stampede said. Pricing starts at $40,000 for the first hardware "appliance," plus $35 per mobile client.
