November 13, 2001 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — A new technology relationship between Rivar Technologies (rivar.com), developer of Code: Neo software and OmniCluster Technologies
r
(omnicluster.com), developer of the SlotServer, full-function server on a PCI card, is enabling Web hosters to expand their existing network capacity and speed.
r
r
Rivar will showcase the integrated products at Comdex Fall 2001, Nov. 13-16
r
in Las Vegas, Booth No. L4922. “The agreement to combine the products
r
through mutual reseller partners and within a single host system creates a
r
‘dynamic duo’ that addresses Web hosters’ most crucial challenges,” said
r
Rivar Technologies’ president Gene Savar.
r
r
OmniCluster Technologies’ CEO Chris Fleck added, “To remain competitive,
r
webhosters must keep costs in check as their customer base grows. At the
r
same time, they need to satisfy consumers’ demand for ever faster Web sites
r
and Internet applications. The relationship between Rivar and OmniCluster
r
provides both aspects.”
r
r
Integrating Code: Neo application server software, which is designed to
r
provide ten-fold speed gains in Web server processing, with SlotServer 1000
r
fully exploits technology infrastructure investments. Companies can augment,
r
rather than add, conventional rack-mount servers to double, triple or
r
quadruple a data center’s server capacity and simultaneously boost
r
processing speed.
r
r
Code: Neo’s speed is derived from its ability to bring C++, the language of
r
operating systems, to the Web. Code: Neo allows Web pages to be embedded
r
with C++ and compiled into high-speed binary objects that are executed
r
directly by servers in response to user requests. Benchmarks indicate that
r
the use of compiled binary objects can increase execution speed at least
r
ten-fold over programs written in PERL, JAVA or ASP.
r
r
This speed gain reduces the chance of overload and site crashes, increasing
r
reliability and customer satisfaction. The result is that users are able to
r
access information faster and more users per Web server can be accommodated.
r
With Code: Neo, Web hosters also can build new revenue streams, offering
r
customers a range of website development tools, including diagnostics,
r
security and support without having to dedicate staff resources.
r
r
OmniCluster Technologies’ SlotServer 1000 is a half-length PCI card that
r
contains a fully compatible x86 based server system with a patent pending,
r
integrated high-speed network. Multiple SlotServers may be clustered inside
r
standard servers to provide additional server functions or expand an
r
existing server’s capacity.
