uBid Ups Response With Netscaler

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- NetScaler, Inc., a pioneer in application delivery systems, announced online auctioneer uBid Inc. has deployed NetScaler 9000 Series products to improve response times, server performance and security of its bidding site. uBid selected the NetScaler 9000 Series primarily for its superior application optimization capabilities, thus enabling faster page loads and transactions. By deploying NetScaler systems, uBid has also strengthened attack defense and cut bandwidth needs in half by compressing both the dynamic and static content of its applications.

“uBid’s five million registered customers rely on us to provide them with an agile experience ... a customer expectation that we take very seriously,” says Mano Sivashanmugam, vice president of information technology, uBid. “Since we deployed the Netscaler 9000 Series application delivery systems, our customers are seeing as much as a 50 percent improvement in dial-up response times and a 30 percent improvement for even broadband connections.”

After an intense and competitive review, uBid discovered that only NetScaler systems offered the unified application-layer optimization capabilities it needed to improve end user response times and server performance, as well as reduce both bandwidth costs, server load and SSL traffic.
