NetLightning = Performance Challenge:Deliver business-quality performance over the InternetNetLightning™ The performance service of the Netli One platform, consists of specialized protocols designed to avoid the inefficiencies of TCP and HTTP in wide-area Internet transfers. The protocols remove the inherent performance barriers of the Internet making it a high-performance platform for Web application delivery. NetLightning transparently replaces TCP and HTTP while still utilizing the standard IP transport of the Internet. End users that are distant from the Web server will enjoy the same level of performance that local users receive, with or without the presence of congestion and packet loss. The result is global sub-second response times for geographically dispersed users from a centralized data center.
LAN-like Performance Eliminates the delays induced by the Internet's usual communication mechanisms while managing the connections between the Netli system and an enterprise's application infrastructure for increased efficiency and optimal use of server resources
Increased Availability Reduces the impact of packet loss and network congestion; delivers consistent application performance to end-users overcoming Internet anomalies. Ensures that an application's DNS queries are handled quickly and without fail via a network of geographically distributed servers on multiple networks, each operating Netli's high-availability DNS software
Infrastructure Offload Reduces infrastructure costs by offloading frequently accessed static data to the Netli system, thereby freeing resources to handle the higher value processing; handles additional traffic without increased network capacity or data center buildout and acts as an efficient front-end-processor to manage connectivity and SSL processing
Secure Delivery Highest level of acceleration for applications secured with Secure Socket Layer (SSL) (HTTPs). NetLightning SSL provides transport and application level optimization for SSL applications while maintaining end-to-end security. Provides FIPS 140-2 Level-3 validated security to meet performance and regulatory security requirements such as HIPAA, government and financial security regulations.

"The Internet was not designed to support the performance requirements of mission-critical applications. Existing Internet performance technologies such as caching, content delivery and smart routing do not adequately address the performance requirements of dynamic, Web-based applications. A new solution is an Application Delivery Network (ADN), which promises to address the performance bottleneck. An ADN can help enterprises deliver sub-second response times and increased application availability with the cost benefits of a centralized data center and application infrastructure."
