Company Overview
The leader in high peformance application delivery solutions
In 2002, Crescendo Networks' founders recognized the fundamental need to optimize and accelerate Web applications without inefficiently scaling out Web servers. They also realized that application delivery appliances relying on standard, off-the-shelf CPUs could not meet the performance and scalability requirements of high-volume Web environments.
The Crescendo team created a powerful, purpose-built hardware platform specifically to address these application delivery challenges. Specialized hardware engines using dedicated memory resources don't slow down under load. AppBeat DC, first available in 2005, is now widely deployed in high-volume Web properties around the globe, and has been independently validated as the performance leader in the Application Delivery Controller market.
Reaching for the clouds
Today the world is moving towards cloud computing, SaaS and virtualized web environments. Data centers struggle to support multi-gigabit delivery of Web-based transactions, adjusting on-the-fly to service level commitments and aligning with business policies for energy consumption and IT consolidation/cost savings.
Crescendo Networks' latest generation of solutions addresses the requirements of cloud computing and SaaS providers as well as enterprises and Web properties. Innovative virtualization and resource optimization features align application delivery resources with business policies, in real time. And with a new range of hardware platform options up to 10 Gbps, businesses of all sizes can take advantage of AppBeat solutions to accelerate application delivery, cut data center costs and boost capacity for business growth.
