Online, December 8, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Menlo Park, Calif. - Crescendo Networks, the recognized performance leader for accelerating and optimizing application delivery for web properties, today announced that Sichuan Electric Power chose Crescendo's application delivery controller to ensure the performance and reliability of their high performance network.
"Our EMS and OMS systems, which include a full suite of network management advanced applications, have been running with high performance and stability since we deployed Crescendo's AppBeat DC. With the rapid growth of power demand in China, the system capacity has already been expanded to 300% of its initial sizing. Predictable performance and the ability to scale allows us to provide the best level of service possible to our customers", quoted Ni Ya Qi, chief engineer of Sichuan Power's Automation Department. "AppBeat DC reduced our end-user response time by over 35%. Users experience more stable and reliable application performance, while enjoying faster response times overall."
Sichuan Power Company in Sichuan Province is a wholly owned subsidiary of the company's state-owned large enterprise that provides network management as their core business, including the main power grid planning, construction, operation and power supply. With a total number of 28,958 workers, they supply power to an area of about 16 million square kilometers, accounting for 33.55% of the land in Sichuan Province. The power supply serves a population of about 66.4 million people, accounting for 78.4% of the total population.
"This is one of our most significant installations due to the magnitude and scale of Sichuan Power's user base," said Adoram Gaash, CEO for Crescendo Networks.

AppBeat DC also normalizes the operating environment, even under load, and shields their servers from traffic peaks and malicious events. It is obvious that Sichuan Power cares greatly about serving their customers."
AppBeat DC is an application delivery controller that delivers optimal application performance while increasing server efficiency. Deployed on a purpose-built platform using dedicated hardware engines with parallel processors, AppBeat DC offloads processing-intensive tasks from servers and combines multiple acceleration features in one highly scalable appliance. Its unique, distributed architecture outperforms other solutions that experience performance degradation and resource contention when multiple features are enabled. Web sites typically see up to a 70% improvement in site response times.
