Jun, 2002 : Redline Enhances e-TFI Performance for World Cup

📅 June 25, 2002 - Web acceleration equipment developer Redline Networks (redlinenetworks.com) announced on Monday that it has completed, along with systems integrator Silicomp Reseaux (silicomp.fr), an Internet acceleration project for e-TFI, the online arm of France's largest commercial TV network, TFI.

According to Redline Networks, three of its T|X Web I/O Accelerators installed at the e-TFI data center allowed the site to handle the overwhelming increase in traffic generated by this month's 2002 World Cup Soccer series.
"Thanks to the installation of Redline Networks T|X 2200 Web I/O Accelerators, we were able to manage peaks reaching 280,000 simultaneous connections since the beginning of the 2002 World Cup," says Stephane Allaire, e-TF1 Director of Technologies.
In preparation for the demands of the dramatically increased Web traffic, says Redline, e-TFI reexamined its Internet infrastructure, identifying a need to optimize HTTP flows and reduce outbound bandwidth. Redline says its Web I/O acceleration technology was installed to allow persistent connections to all users through just a few persistent connections to the servers, multiplexed HTTP requests, real-time compression of data and the management of keys and certificates for secure connections.
Following the installation, says Redline, the site displayed exceptional results. Web pages are accessed 2 to 5 times faster regardless of content type or the user's method of access. The site has increased server headroom, lower server loads and the number of simultaneous connections is higher. A 40 percent decrease in bandwidth used, says the company, has provided a quick return on investment.
