Server Side Deployed Origin Content Acceleration Software

Why Caching does not solve today’s problems?

To accelerate web content, caching technologies are often employed to store static contents physically closer to site visitors to overcome the impact of the latency and packet losses. But there are still two problems that are not well addressed by the caching technologies:

First, today's websites contain more and more personalized pages and dynamic contents that cannot be cached. When site visitors are far away from the source, the extra latency and packet losses will significantly deteriorate the TCP connection throughput and may even cause failures in loading the pages.

Secondly, deploying caching sites are expensive and there are always users that are not well covered. Recent popularity of 3G wireless access has increased the percentage of the users that cannot be well covered by the caching deployments significantly. Statistics show that more and more people are accessing popular websites from mobile handsets like iPhones and iPads. Generally, mobile wireless network tends to create longer latency and more packet losses. In stead of using caching technology, LotServer aims to reduce TCP connection failure rate to improve network access user experience. Powered by the unique AppEx Zeta-Tcp technology, LotServer offers better accelaration rates when internet connection is worse.

LotServer is a loadable kernel software module to offer better overall user experiences

AppEx LotServer is a loadable kernel software module that runs on application servers or web servers to accelerate the content delivery to the remote visitors. Typically it is capable of offering better acceleration ratio under worse connection conditions.

Powered by AppEx' unique Zeta-Tcp technology, LotServer is able to significantly improve the overall user experiences of accessing the websites and increase the web applications' stability on both the server and client sides due to the reduced TCP connection failure rate.

LotServer now supports Linux and Microsoft Windows Operating Systems. LotServer is a very light-weighted module embedded in the OS which consumes little CPU.
