Redline Networks Defines Internet Real-time Acceleration Niche
Product Evaluation Program Debuts for Sites and Hosters
San Jose, Calif., October 12, 2000 — Redline Networks, a new company enabling web sites to speed page downloads for their users, today announces the availability of its 90-day evaluation program for qualified applicants. Starting today, the company will make a special, limited time offer via its web site - www.RedlineNetworks.com - that allows IT managers to evaluate Redline Networks' T|X series Real-Time Acceleration Appliances in their own data centers.
Based on patent-pending technology, Redline Networks' new T|X 2100 is the first Internet infrastructure hardware appliance that sites can deploy to accelerate dynamic and static content in real-time, typically speeding user experience by 2x - 4x 1 for both modem and broadband users. The T|X series appliance is a non-caching, diskless appliance that installs between a server load balancer and web servers to streamline requests and optimize outbound data in real-time. The T|X appliance is the first enterprise-class solution that decreases data transfer time even for dynamically generated hyper text mark-up language (HTML) content.
"Redline Networks' T|X series evaluation program offers potential customers a chance to see the benefits of our real-time acceleration appliance product for their web sites risk-free for 3 months." said Israel L'Heureux, President and CEO of Redline Networks. "With our 'Deploy and Enjoy' easy installation process, a T|X appliance can be added to a web site in about an hour and sites can see a speed increase from the first byte served."
When users receive a site's pages faster, they view more pages on that site. A 2000 Nielsen/Net Ratings study found that as Internet access speed doubles, monthly page views increase by up to 80%.
"Faster sites tend to serve more pages and sell more. With the pressure on sites to increase top-line revenue, Redline Networks Real Time Acceleration Appliances are the solution business line managers need to increase revenue." said Sarah Z. Stanwyck, vice president, marketing at Redline Networks.
To participate in the T|X Evaluation Program, visit the company's web site - www.RedlineNetworks.com - and complete the evaluation program contact form. Customers who participate in the T|X Evaluation Program will receive a trial T|X 2100 hardware appliance package which:
