TurboIIS

[inside]

Hello, guys,

Have you considered TurboIIS <http://www.turboiis.com/>?

Regards, Inside(r).

Not sure if that's one of the ones we tried ourselves a while back, we did find that most of the IIS compression style software we tried tended to over compress a lot of our images which made them look pretty awful when rendered on screen.

I searched for "turboiis" on the forum and didn't find anything.

When I say "we" I refer to my own company not Vortech

Give me 'WorkingIIS" or "NeverCrashIIS" then I might look to turbo something like that

I think you'll find it's a little bit of Sarcasm on Dave's part there ... hes obviously been sunning himself for too long on the Yacht, everyone knows IIS is rock stable

Now come on Dave, be realistic, if we gave you "workingIIS" or "NeverCrashIIS" you'd be out of a job
Edit: mind you then you would be able to 'sun yourself' a little more, like Brangwyn suggests.

yeah, how about some of those self-healing IBM servers?

Get some of those, and Brad can finally go home to get some sleep

Those are SOOOO cool, they were working on those when I used to work at IBM (before becoming a Vortechian) and the technology is really cool, it was almost as cool as when I firsh saw a tech hot-swap a PCI card from a WINDOWS box, all he did was disable, pull the card out, put the new one in and enable it was COOL.

Oh and just to remind everyone about how stable IIS is need I mention the "Vintage NT26 and NT27" oh yeah IIS worked GREAT there!

We are testing IISturbo on NT3 its been running on a live system now for about 24 horus and seems to work very good. Had one issue with JPG's being Compressed to much so we droped it from 70% down to 60% and seems good now.

In just under 2 hours it saved almost 500MB in bandwidth.
Total Data In: 1809 Mb
Total Data Out: 1345 Mb

Not bad I must say.. We will let this run for a few more days and then run cluster wide with all the same settings. If you have a site on NT3 load the site then check another site, it should be alittle faster if you're IE does support the Compression. There was a bug in some IE's with PDF's and Compression but MS released a fix about 6 months or more ago. Also turboIIS can see if your IE has this bug from what I read.


So far so good on the NT side of things.. We will also be testing mod-Gzip on the unix side and save bandwidth there and make sites faster as well.

just my $.02, but I'm hoping that images aren't showing any signs of additional compression, because some of us may certainly spend a lot of time already getting image size down, and in doing so ride a line of good/bad image resolutions. If this thing is compressing further, there could be some adverse affects.

Or am I totally missing the way this thing works?

It has options unlike some of the others I looked at.. We can disable or inable Compression system wide or disable Compression completely per site as well. So far I have not seen any issues since we dropped Compression down to 60% for jpg, they sees to look very close to what they do without it.

This will be an option we can turn on and off very easy per site.. It does seem to make things much faster; I could tell that loading some test sites..

mod-Gzip has some of these same options as well.
