SilverStream Teams With Intel to Optimize Performance The SilverStream Application Server was architected from day one for high throughput and thousands of users. It includes an advanced multi-threaded architecture, pooled database connections, transaction management and automatic three-tier data caching. Working in the Intel Application Solution Center, SilverStream and Intel engineers profiled SilverStream's performance and analyzed the server code. This detailed analysis led to performance improvements of up to 300 percent in critical areas, including faster database access, faster delivery of static content and faster creation of dynamic pages, as well as improved HTTP HTTP in full HyperText Transfer Protocol Standard application-level protocol used for exchanging files on the World Wide Web.

"SilverStream 1.5's higher performance levels will allow customers to run applications that place a heavy load on the server," said Skok. "Our performance tests indicate that a four-CPU, Pentium(r) Pro processor-based server running Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs. NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see Windows). Available in separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive multitasking. can support over 100,000 server transactions per hour in a corporate phone directory style of application. In heavier production situations, where complex orders are being entered every 90 seconds, that same server should be able to support approximately 400 to 500 users." "The outstanding performance gains achieved by SilverStream at the Intel Application Solution Center will better enable corporations to build enterprise applications on Intel servers and clients that truly harness the power of Java and the Internet," said Alan Holzman, Senior Technical Marketing Manager, Enterprise Server Group, Intel.
