Impressive Results Achieved by ANTs Messaging Engine
Demonstration Highlights Price-Performance and Scalability
BURLINGAME, Calif., Aug. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ANTs software inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ANTS), a developer of software technology that enables high-performance data operations, announced today that it has demonstrated a high-performance, low cost, instant messaging application to illustrate the power of its technologies.
The ANTs Messaging Engine ("AME"), deployed on one server and 10 desktop computers, with a total hardware cost of approximately $55,000, processed 640,000 instant messages per second. (AOL's average is about 25,000 instant messages per second; see AOL's 2002 Fact Book at: corp.aol.com ). AME also demonstrated linear scalability, which is the ability to process data in direct proportion to the amount of hardware in the system. Linear scaling, which is difficult to achieve in software, allows users to easily manage growth by simply adding hardware to match demand, with no changes to existing software.
"We developed the instant messaging demonstration at the request of a potential partner, whose observer was pleased with the results," said ANTs software inc. CEO Frank Ruotolo. "This demonstration clearly shows the power of our technology. I believe the price-performance and linear scalability are unique to ANTs and will provide tremendous competitive advantage for future partners and customers. Linear scalability in particular, is the holy grail of software; we know of very few commercial software applications that can scale as AME did in this demonstration."
A white paper describing the AME architecture and a full report describing the instant messaging demonstration are published online: antssoftware.com .
