Netli Offers Application Delivery

Light Reading: April 21, 2003

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- Netli, the first company to offer a complete Application Delivery Network (ADN) service, today announced the availability of NetLightning, the company's flagship service that transparently provides global sub-second response times, high availability, and secure access for Web applications.

Netli offers a global solution for multinational companies looking to expand into new markets, increase revenue, and reduce costs through Web applications such as eCommerce, support portals, and online business information services. The benefits of Web applications are clear and compelling. But severe Internet performance and reliability problems are forcing companies to continue to rely on existing complex client server applications and expensive private networks.

The problem is that the Internet was never designed to support Web applications. The farther a user is from an application server, the worse the performance. The problem, known as distance-induced delay, is caused by the combination of geographic distance, the performance of the Internet protocols TCP and HTTP(S), and packet loss and congestion within the Internet. Consider that 30-50 round trip transfers between the data source and the end user are required to complete a transaction or transmit a typical Web page. While one round trip takes mere milliseconds to complete, several dozen round trips result in painful seconds of delay for the end user.

NetLightning eliminates distance-induced delay, giving globally-distributed users similar Web application performance and availability as local users. HP, Nielsen//NetRatings and Millipore are among the growing list of companies realizing the benefits of NetLightning for their Web applications.

"The Web's open standards, SSL security, ubiquity, and low cost are driving companies around the world to want to use it instead of legacy client/server architectures and expensive private networks to support mission-critical applications," said John Peters, Netli CEO. "However, until now, the performance and availability penalties paid by remote users of these Web applications inhibited companies from realizing the full potential of the Internet. Netli has changed all that. Now, the Internet can be used to access critical business applications from around the world with the same security, performance, and availability of private networks. Netli is taking a fundamentally new approach to solving the performance and availability problems caused by distance-induced delay. It is helping businesses deliver on the bold promises of the Internet in a manner that is cost-effective, transparent to the company and its end users, and easy to implement."
