Business Editors, High Tech Writers

SOMERSET, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 27, 2000

With over five million new Internet pages added daily and over 300 million users worldwide accessing the Web, the Internet explosion is leading to an Internet implosion.

A leading technology company has solved the problem of spiraling Internet congestion that causes cumbersome, slow websites -- all without adding to an overtaxed infrastructure.

As part of its overall platform, XOsoft solutions empower not only individual webmasters in the retail sector to speed robust content to users, but also large wireless and wireline carriers. With innovative mirror caching technology and the invention of incremental updating that replicates everything from streaming media to video in realtime, the XOsoft platform creates an efficient synchronization of Web content with no connectivity or distance constraints and no limitation on the number of servers.

"There is a finite spectrum into which data can be packed in the wireless and wireline arenas, even when you're thinking in terms of 3G and Broadband on the wireless side, or T1 and DSL wirelines," XOsoft CEO Lance Boxer said. "We have content delivery platforms that will literally be embedded into the wireless and wireline spaces, as well as sites themselves, which ultimately creates peak performance and an optimized user experience."

The solution could not have come sooner. Streaming and dynamic Internet content will continue to bloom, with its market size increasing from $147 million today to a whopping $4 billion enterprise by 2003. The robust content coupled with the skyrocketing of wireless subscribers to an estimated 2.4 billion by 2003 spells disaster to an Internet infrastructure never created to handle such loads. The wireless Internet alone is expected to grow to a $45 billion annual business by 2003.

"But that growth will be stifled if accessing and using the wireless Web is as cumbersome as most slow wired sites now. People want to be able to have the convenience and ease of a wireless Internet, but consumers do not have the patience to wait for slow content to load," Boxer said. "The problem is that temporary solutions like cable Internet access and digital subscriber lines will do no good in the wireless space. Even in the wireline arenas, the current solutions only go so far. XOsoft solutions can effectively accelerate content through the Internet, wireless and wireline, at a minimum of 10 times faster than anything else on the market."

A Next-Generation Solution

The comprehensive XOsoft platform delivers streaming and dynamic content throughout the Internet through replicate sites and controlled caches. At the core of the solution is patented incremental updating technology, real time mirrors and "silent" caches. Incremental updates send only the changes to a Web page instead of the entire page, solving the problem of cache validation. Less data to send allows for rapid delivery of dynamic content in a fraction of the time, maximizing existing infrastructures.

The XOsoft platform improves the overall user experience of visitors by boosting reliability, speed and scalability of websites. Statistics that contain valuable user information are gathered from caches that not only replicate content applicable to the geographic area, but also gather valuable demographic information on visitors -- all of which makes for a more efficient Internet for consumers and business applications.

Headquartered in Somerset, New Jersey, XOsoft has been named one of the "hottest startups," by Red Herring and Upside Magazines. XOsoft recently raised $16 million in a Series C round of funding led by JK&B Capital and including investors Goldman Sachs, Draper Fisher Jurvetson Gotham, Neurone Venture Capital, Seed Capital, Comverse and Janney Montgomery Scott.
