Abstract

Alteon WebSystems, Inc. commissioned The Tolly Group to benchmark and compare the HTTP transaction performance of its ACEdirector 3 Web switch running Web OS version 8.0 and version 6.0.52, with ArrowPoint Communications, Inc.’s CS-100 Content Smart Web Switch version 3.02. Results demonstrate that the ACEdirector 3 version 8.0, with its new Virtual Matrix Architecture, demonstrates a four-fold increase in connection capacity and session-processing performance over ACEdirector 6.0.52 and ArrowPoint CS-100.
