Pokey Web services-based applications are not rare. Choreographing the work among various dependent services can bog down systems.
The folks at Strangeloop Networks Inc. in Vancouver, B.C. think they've figured out how to make Web services dance well together and this summer will release the WS1000 Web Services Accelerator appliance to help your apps quicken their pace.
According to Virginia Balcom, vice president of marketing, the device uses the company's "choreography engine" to cache data from the various services, thereby offloading requests from the primary systems. Because the appliance is tuned for such things as the simple object access protocol (SOAP) calls, it can anticipate impending data requests and pre-fetch it to the cache, further speeding up the app.
Joshua Bixby, senior vice president of products and sales, says the WS1000 is based in part on Strangeloop's AS1000, whose choreography engine is built specifically for ASP.net- and AJAX-style applications. Like it, Bixby says, the WS1000 watches how a Web services app works and optimizes its performance based on what it learns.
Available in August, the WS1000 will start at $30,000.
