Industry-Leading Solution for Web Session-State

Production-proven at hundreds of sites for more than a decade

ScaleOut’s in-memory data grid offers the industry’s fastest, easiest to use session-state storage and has been deployed on leading e-commerce sites worldwide. Incorporating transparent support for both Windows ASP.NET and Java J2EE with optional APIs for extending functionality and maximizing performance, ScaleOut SessionServer and ScaleOut StateServer have become the trusted session-state solution for hundreds of e-commerce companies.

Scalable Technology for Disaster Recovery

Keep e-commerce sites online with transparent site failover that’s easy to manage

Every minute of downtime can cost e-commerce sites thousands of dollars in lost sales. That’s why leading e-commerce companies host server farms at multiple sites tied together by a global load-balancer; if one site goes offline for any reason, other sites automatically pick up the load and keep customers connected. ScaleOut GeoServer seamlessly fits into this strategy, replicating session-state to remote sites so that they are always ready for customer requests — with in-memory data storage that deploys fast and scales on demand.

Personalized, Targeted Recommendations

With operational intelligence, the next generation of e-commerce has arrived

Targeted recommendations have proven to be highly effective for cross-selling and upselling on e-commerce websites. However, conventional approaches have been been limited to static, pre-computed recommendations and/or real-time recommendations targeted to groups of users (for example, suggesting products similar to the ones being browsed). Neither approach takes into account a shopper’s buying history to make personalized recommendations.

With the in-memory computing technology in ScaleOut StateServer Pro, that all changes. Now, e-commerce sites can instantly combine each customer’s individual shopping history and preferences with current browsing activity to generate highly relevant, personalized recommendations. In-memory computing gives e-commerce sites operational intelligence.

Here’s how ScaleOut StateServer Pro enables operational intelligence for e-commerce.  As illustrated in the following diagram, ScaleOut’s in-memory data grid captures incoming click-streams from e-commerce customers with very low latency, tracking each customer’s browsing behavior. The integrated in-memory compute engine enriches this real-time data with historical information describing the customer’s shopping history and preferences (such as preferred brands and sizes), and it can combine all of this information to make instant recommendations tailored to the needs of specific customers. Operational intelligence gives each customer an intelligent, “personal assistant” to dramatically enhance the shopping experience.
