Surprised Bill Gates has not swooped up ants. lol, trap them into a hostile takeover.->ANTs Messaging Engine Processes Over One Million Instant Messages Per Second
ANTs' Asynchronous Technology a Key Factor
BURLINGAME, Calif., Sept. 18 /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 significantly improved the performance of the ANTs Messaging Engine over results published on August 22, 2002.
In this latest demonstration, the ANTs Messaging Engine ("AME"), deployed on one server and 14 desktop computers processed 1.1 million instant messages per second, a 72% increase over results published last month. Total hardware cost decreased 66% to approximately $15,000, as a much less expensive 2-CPU server handled the load compared with an 8-CPU server used previously. Key to the speed increase and cost decrease was the first-time use of ANTs asynchronous technology in the application servers to improve their performance and scalability. AME achieved linear scalability through one million messages per second.
"According to a report published by research firm Gartner, instant messaging will surpass email as the primary way consumers interact with each other electronically. We believe the price-performance and scalability of the ANTs Messaging Engine can offer unique competitive advantages to messaging vendors and we have begun a marketing effort to develop partnerships and other business relationships in the messaging market," said ANTs software inc. CEO Frank Ruotolo.
An updated white paper describing the AME architecture and a full report describing the instant messaging demonstration are published online: antssoftware.com
