SolidSpeed on EntropiaSan Diego 15 February 2001 Entropia has enabled its latest commercial customer, SolidSpeed Networks, Inc., to provide the accurate and direct measurement of Web site speed and reliability on the market. SolidSpeed's Probester, a data engine that tracks Web site performance, uses Entropia's global peer-to-peer (P2P) computing network, consisting of thousands of PCs in dozens of countries around the world.
Entropia's network provides SolidSpeed with the service platform necessary to
accurately measure Web site performance. This approach is the first to measure
the performance of Web sites directly from the end users' desktop, the true edge
of the Internet.
Probester works by distributing sets of URLs to be probed to PCs in the Entropia
network. After measuring the performance of the assigned URLs, each PC reports
the performance results and then begins work on the next set of URLs to probe.
"Entropia's distributed computing services provide SolidSpeed with thousands of
measurement points of presence (POPs) and gives their customers the ultimate
end-user view of Web site availability and performance," said Scott Kurowski,
founder and vice president, business development of Entropia. "For Web sites and
network services, there is simply no better way to consistently measure actual
experience."
