Solutions Overview

Whether you are just scaling session-state storage on your Web farm or developing a new grid computing application, ScaleOut Software's distributed caching products can significantly increase performance and help streamline development. Why consider distributed caching? Here are some compelling reasons:

• Boost application performance. Your application's data needs to be close to where it's needed at all times. Otherwise, you waste the performance potential of your server farm while data is moving from your database or file server to the farm (and back) or just moving between servers as your application dictates. Distributed caching ensures that your application's data is stored in memory on the servers where it's needed. This minimizes wait times and overhead. What you get is peak performance.
• Offload your database server. Storing fast-changing data, such as Web session-state, in your database server is simply not a viable solution for growing server farms. As the farm grows to handle increased workload, the database server increasingly becomes a bottleneck. Performance suffers, and your database server ends up doing work it wasn't intended to do in the first place. Distributed caching offloads your database server while it boosts performance of your server farm application.
• Simplify application design. OK, you know that in-memory storage on server farms is the key to scaled performance. But how do you re-plumb your application to efficiently move data between servers, keep everything coordinated, and protect against server failures? You can tackle these problems yourself and dive into the complex world of distributed computing. Or you can just deploy ScaleOut Software's distributed caching and keep it simple. Now your application can scale across the server farm and immediately access shared data. You can also use the cache's built-in load balancing to automatically distribute workloads across the farm. Performance has never been higher. Grid computing has never been easier.

Take a look at how quickly you can deploy ScaleOut SessionServer to scale session-state storage on your Web site's server farm. Then look at how easy it is to upgrade to ScaleOut StateServer and develop applications that harness the full power of distributed caching. We think you will find that our distributed caching will open the door to fast, scalable performance. And with our industry-leading, carefully integrated caching technology, your development and deployment costs will stay low.
