| Web Serving Capacity |

Getting the most out of your web server
is vital in ensuring value for money,
lowered ownership costs and guaranteeing
your customers' satisfaction. If you
need to host thousands of web sites
on a single machine, Zeus Web Server
can achieve this with its ground breaking
subserver technology. If you want to
deploy web server software on enterprise-class
multiprocessor machines, Zeus Web Server
delivers linearly scaling performance;
and if you want to host your web server
across hundreds of individual machines,
Zeus Web Server offers intrinsic clustering
support and management tools. |

| Web Infrastructure Security |
More
Information |
|
Web attacks are on the increase and
your web serving infrastructure needs
to be watertight to resist any attempt
to deface, defraud or bring down your
web site. Zeus Web Server is the most
secure web server available, protecting
your back-end systems and even screening
attacks against other types of web server
in your farm. Service Protection Policies
guard against Denial of Service attacks
and destructive viruses. Zeus Web Server
offers the most scalable SSL implementation
available, and security settings across
multiple web sites can be easily controlled
using the online Administration Server.
Administrators are also able to enroll
for and purchase Verisign website digital
certificate directly from the Zeus interface.

| Dynamic Content |
More
Information |
|
Zeus Web Server is engineered to be
the best platform for deploying rich,
dynamic applications written in a variety
of languages ranging from J2EE to PHP
to ASP to Perl. Customers with heavy
dynamic content usage, such as eBay
and TD Waterhouse, migrate to Zeus to
take advantage of the performance, security,
reliability and scalability benefits
that Zeus provides. |
|
| Service Management |
More
Information |
|
The area of upkeep and maintenance is
one of the most expensive in web infrastructure.
This ongoing cost can often dwarf the
initial outlay on the infrastructure
itself. Skilled IT staff can spend a
large proportion of their time on menial,
day-to-day administration and monitoring,
reducing the manpower available for
the development and differentiation
of your service from that of your competitors.
Data visualisation and management tools
built into Zeus Web Server will drastically
reduce this maintenance burden freeing
up time for your system administrators.

A number of challenges are presented
by the management of your web infrastructure.
The complexity of even a single web
site means that without an effective
method of administering large numbers
of sites running on large clusters of
servers, your business will be unable
to scale efficiently. In addition, the
more complex a task, the greater likelihood
there is for error. Zeus Web Server
meets these challenges head-on by consolidating
the management of all of your web sites
on all of your servers to a single,
intuitive, web-based user interface.

The unique capability of Zeus to extract
hitherto unheard of performance levels

you don't need to invest more money
in expensive hardware to increase the
capacity of your web presence. Through
its linear multi-processor scalability

of simultaneous connections from slow
and quick clients alike, Zeus Web Server

both simply and cost-effectively. |

| Reliability |

Information |

Downtime is deadly on the Internet,
and since all requests are handled through
your web server, it better be up to
the task. Organizations with business-critical
web sites, whether large or small, insist
on Zeus Web Server. eBay's search infrastructure
is founded on Zeus Web Server, and to
date has handled 13 billion requests
without Zeus Web Server failing once.
Or consider the record-breaking Comic
Relief charity site for Red Nose Day
in the UK. Handling 26,513 secure transactions
during 15 minutes, Zeus Web Server continued
to respond under the most extreme flash
crowd situations to deliver a world-record
£2.3 million pounds of donations in
a single evening. |

| Optional Modules |
|
|
With the complexity and range of HTTP-based
services increasing each day, it is
important to have a web serving platform
that allows you to tailor the functionality
to meet your exact needs, usually taking
the form of additional plug-in modules
or applications. Zeus Web Server provides
the broadest range of development APIs,
including both open standards, and enhanced
implementations of other vendors' proprietary
interfaces. Many vendors have chosen
to use Zeus Web Server as the basis
for their applications, such as Qualcomm's
Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless™
(BREW™) platform. This flexibility as
a development platform means that new
and existing applications can be hosted
on Zeus Web Server using the right choice
of API to suit your needs. |
