WARP Technology Secures Patent For Dynamic Content Routing

WARP Technology Holdings, Inc., a leading provider of network and application acceleration technology solutions, announced the expansion of its patent portfolio with the receipt of U.S. patent 6,598,077 for Dynamic Content Routing, an important component of its Global Transaction Enabled Network (GTEN) architecture.

The patent describes a technology that enables unprecedented scalability to transaction-oriented Internet applications. The system illustrates a technique that allows for dynamic distribution of an Internet application across multiple points of presence and provides a routing mechanism to direct dynamic requests for changed content only to the points of presence where the content is valid.

"By distributing transactions across multiple points of presence, this patented technology effectively addresses the "single point of contention problem" often experienced by transactional applications deployed across the Internet," said Greg Parker, WARP's CTO. "Until now, WARP has concentrated on optimizing the "read" side of transaction processing over the Internet. This patent clearly demonstrated our intent in pursuing solutions that deal with the "write" side of application acceleration technologies."

WARP's thought leadership in the application acceleration market niche has been provided by its WARP 2063e, the most advanced, multi-function application acceleration edge appliance available today. WARP 2063e is a part of the company's GTEN architecture, providing a non-intrusive appliance that sits at the network's edge to off-load high-volume traffic, and serve end user requests from the closest node resource. WARP reinforced its commitment to this emerging market by acquiring SpiderSoftware, Inc., a leader in dynamic caching and consequently announcing the intent to acquire iMimic Networking, Inc. Both companies offer best-of-breed application acceleration technology components that seamlessly integrate with the company's GTEN strategy.

"For several years now, the Internet has been more about transactions processing than static content delivery," said Michael Hoch, Research Director, Internet Infrastructure with Aberdeen Group. "The ability to handle intelligent distribution of transactions is quickly becoming a top priority. WARP's experience in dynamic caching and application networking puts it in a prime position to address this important predicament."

With the award of this patent, WARP continues to focus on expanding the capabilities of its GTEN architecture, an integrated platform of best of breed application acceleration technologies.

WARP's GTEN provides a framework for organizations to extend the performance, reliability, and scalability of current Web architectures, optimizing investments in existing IT infrastructures while significantly reducing costs. GTEN is designed to significantly improve network and server performance, and enable accelerated delivery of critical business applications and content across IP-based networks while maintaining high levels of speed, capacity, and reliability.
