Scalable High-Performance Software

Developing network software for millions of users has its own challenges and remains a specialty area with few available tools and few companies with experience.

One challenge is cost. While a PC program can essentially use the entire PC resources of several hundred dollars, network services are shared by many users, often reducing the available hardware value per user to a few cents.

Another challenge is robustness. While a PC crash is inconvenient for a user, malfunctioning of a network service will affect thousands, and sometimes millions of users, and can result in loss of business and damages of millions of dollars per hour for the service operator.

The Net-Scale founders have been on the leading edge of this field for nearly twenty years. Services developed by our staff have been in use by tens of millions of users for many years, saving our customers money by reducing the hardware infrastructure, the operating cost, the customer care needs, and the troubleshooting expenses.
