The

solutions:
WhizzBee
Web Server - a high-performance web server software that
provides instant content delivery and 24x7 availability for
all business applications. It is an ideal choice for building
a new web site to harness all the power coming from the clustering
technology and Whizz's EC-Cache Engine.
WhizzBee
Site Accelerator - an accelerator for existing web servers,
whose installation and operation require no modification of
current software and data. The acceleration is behind-the-scene
and remains hassle-free for as long as the existing web server
is running.
WhizzBee
Proxy Server - a proxy server powered by Whizz's EC-Cache
Engine. To be placed strategically between the Internet and
local web clients, it significantly reduces the delays experienced
by local users.
WhizzBee
Proxy-Accelerator - a functional integration of the WhizzBee
Site Accelerator and the Proxy Server which combines the benefits
of the two. Local web clients will have faster response while
requests from the Internet are served and responded to instantly.
All
the WhizzBee product packages will be up and running after an
easy installation procedure requiring just a few clicks. Each
package comes with management and monitoring tools that are
most convenient to use and are customizable.
A
minimal configuration of WhizzBee Web Server 2.0 requires two
PCs running RedHat Linux v7.1 or v7.2. It supports up to 128
Web server nodes.
