Over the past two years, LeanServer has lent its platform expertise to some of the largest web sites in the world, helping them scale, improve performance, and cut operating costs with the Windows Server platform.
After years of designing the core of IIS 7.0 and ASP.NET 2.0 technologies, it has been very satisfying to see the impact that these technologies can have when coupled with correct application architecture, best practices, and well placed performance technologies. However, we have also been consistently reminded of how complex this is to consistently achieve in practice – given the multitude of different requirements, application designs, and deployment configurations.
If some of the largest web companies with dedicated developer teams need so much help to get there, what can everyone else expect?
To help us make a broader impact, we’ve shifted our focus to distilling our platform expertise into a set of tools and techniques that everyone can leverage to accelerate performance and scalability of their web applications. In the past year, LeanServer has beta-tested a number of such technologies with leading web sites like myspace.com and vevo.com – and we’ll be looking to make them available to a larger set of customers over the next months.
Today, it makes me very happy to announce our first web release, LeanServer ScaleUP. ScaleUP provides unparalleled performance, reliability, and scalability for web uploads, enabling social networking and media sites to finally solve the tough HTTP upload challenges. If your ASP.NET, ASP, or PHP application handles uploads, be sure to check it at www.leanserver.com/scaleup.
You can also read more about ScaleUP and the history of upload challenges that motivated us to build it on my blog.
With this release and others that are coming, we are very excited to do our part in
helping make the web a leaner, greener place. As always, if you want to make your web application more efficient or have a tough scalability challenge on the Microsoft web platform, get in touch and we may be able to help.
Sincerely,
Mike Volodarsky
