r
True to the nature of the open source movement, SolidSpeed has released the
r
software for these new products via the Web, at http://www.fezhead.org.
r
r
Solidspeed says their FEZ-Probester is easy to implement Web site
r
performance measurement software that is embedded in a Web site’s HTML. It
r
provides end-to-end measurement of Web site performance, that measures and
r
reports actual user download times. Other Web measurement solutions attempt
r
to simulate users, creating
r
additional site load and failing to match the distribution of traffic for
r
the site being measured.
r
r
With SolidSpeed’s FEZ-Director, a global site selector, (or global load
r
balancer), Web site administrators can implement multi-site versions of
r
their site through mirroring, caching, and multi-homing. FEZ-Director is
r
unique in that it offers a purely software-based site selection systems
r
solution that runs on all flavors of UNIX and Windows and is easily
r
installed, configured, maintained, and updated. As such, FEZ-Director is
r
well suited for incorporation into 3rd party content server packages.
r
r
FEZ-Director uses real-time measurements of latency and packet loss along
r
with DNS and http redirection methods to direct users to the best of
r
multiple Web site mirrors or caches.
r
r
Zona Research recently reported that $4.6 billion per year is lost due to
r
users abandoning slow Web sites. The Boston Group said that 48 percent of
r
Web visitors would leave prematurely because a site is running too slow.
