iisPROTECT™ Performance:
iisPROTECT and iisPROTECTquota were built from the ground up with an emphasis on performance and reliability.
  • Native OLEDB Data Access: iisPROTECT uses native OLEDB data access for both the filter and administration for maximum performance.  iisPROTECT can be utilized with Access or high end SQL server systems.  Using SQL server is ideal for web farm implementations as multiple frontend web servers running iisPROTECT can retrieve data from a common database.  During authentication related database access OLEDB was benchmarked and shown to be 300% faster than the same access via ADO.
     
  • High Performance Cache Structure: A self tuning cache structure ensures that information is loaded from memory after the first access.  For example, if an user logs in, the first authentication will hit the database but subsequent hits will be handled from the cache.
     
  • Event Notification Efficiency: The minimum event notifications are used in any given operation.  iisPROTECT intelligently disables notifications to enhance performance of actions which don't require them.  No matter which features you are using you can be confident you have the best performance.
     
  • Native C++ ISAPI: iisPROTECT was developed from the ground up using VC++ 6 without the use of performance sapping extensions such as MFC.

    The bottom line is that iisPROTECT is upto 350% faster than competitive products. (testing completed on a multiprocessor web server running Windows 2000 Server, using the MS web stress tools on 3 client machines each with multiple simulated clients)
