FastSoft Announces New Algorithms FastStart™ and HyperBurst™ to Accelerate Dynamic Web Sites, Video

Leading Web Companies See Up To 60% Faster Average Web Page Delivery, as Measured by Compuware Gomez

PASADENA, CA – April 30, 2010 – FastSoft, Inc., the leading Web acceleration software company, announced today two new algorithms that supercharge the transport of dynamic Web pages and video over the Internet. FastStart and HyperBurst augment FastSoft’s patented core technology FastTCP® by intelligently and quickly ramping up TCP window size, resulting in faster delivery of small web objects. Leading Internet retailers, social networking companies, and CDNs have deployed the algorithms to strengthen visitor engagement and increase revenue.

“Our customers run some of the top Web sites in the world,” said Ed Snyder, CEO at FastSoft. “They know that personalized Web pages and video require specialized optimization beyond caching and load-balancing. They also know that brief delays in page download time hurt the bottom line.”

FastSoft is uniquely deployed on the server side without requiring client software on the remote side. This provides fast and scalable deployments. FastTCP technology enables faster file downloads by keeping TCP/IP packets flowing smoothly and recovering quickly from loss due to congestion.
