Description/Benefit |
Web Server Appliance |
SiteStak does one thing and it does it
well: host web pages. It doesn't weigh the web site down
with gadget-ridden hardware or superfluous software. You
can install it in a rack or place it on a desktop. It
needs just two connections: power and Ethernet. It does
not require special environmental conditions or even much
space. |
Plug 'n' Publish Installation |
Get your web site online in minutes with
none of the general-purpose computer headaches such as
hardware configuration, driver loading, O/S tuning,
complex network configuration, and web server management.
- Just plug the SiteStak into AC power and your
network, and turn it on
- SiteStak automatically configures network address
information
|
Standards Compliant |
SiteStak supports TCP/IP,
FTP, HTML, and HTTP. These are all IETF and W3C standards
that provide interoperability with virtually every modern
browser and content authoring tool. |
HTML User Interface |
The SiteStak is managed remotely with any
web browser. There are no file systems to manage,
directories to create, drivers to load, and arcane
commands to learn. Adding a web site on the SiteStak
requires merely typing in a name for the site and
clicking on an "add" button. It is just that
easy. ISPs can now have customers on the line while the
customer service representative creates a web site. The
MIS department can let anyone in the company
create an intranet web site thereby encouraging
information dissemination throughout the enterprise.
|
Online Documentation |
All of the SiteStak documentation is in
HTML. It is context-sensitive and contains valuable
information for the novice and expert webmasters. |
High Capacity |
SiteStak can
easily store all of your web pages and when you run out
of capacity, just rack and stack another SiteStak.
Each SiteStak TW-500 can store up
to 160,000 web pages and 1000 web sites.
Each SiteStak TW-150 can store up to 80,000 pages and
150 web sites.
|
High Performance |
SiteStak can easily handle the demands of
an ISP content hosting environment as well as corporate
intranets.
Each SiteStak TW-500 is capable of 500 hits/second which
is over 1.7 million hits/hour. That will saturate a T3
line!
Each SiteStak TW-150 is capable of 150 hits/second which
is over 500,000 hits/hour. |
Highly Reliable |
SiteStak is an appliance rated at over
50,000 hours MTBF. Put it in the closet and forget about
it. It'll be running into the next millenium. |
Flexible Virtual Web Sites |
Virtual web sites on the SiteStak can
share an IP address or have dedicated IP addresses. Each
web site can have its own vanity name like www.company.com.
For really quick web site creation, the SiteStak even
supports shared hostnames that makes creating sites for
personal pages or intranet sites a breeze. You are no
longer dependent on a network administrator to assign a
DNS name for your new sites. |
Flexible Publishing Protocols |
SiteStak supports publishing via FTP,
HTTP/PUT, and Microsoft FrontPage Server extensions. This
flexibility makes it possible to offer a single web
server that is content authoring tool independent. |
Dynamic Server-Side Content |
SiteStak isn't just a great static HTML
server. It also excels at processing dynamic content
which many web sites now require. Whether your dynamic
content is authored in Perl, JavaScript, or Microsoft's
ActiveX and FrontPage WebBot, it will execute properly on
the SiteStak. SiteStak makes a great client of your
database or e-commerce server providing a secure,
scalable architecture as you roll out new back office
services. |
Search Engine |
SiteStak has an embedded search engine
that will automatically index all of your content. |
Security |
SiteStak carefully
protects access to each web site using standards
compliant security mechanisms. Advanced web site
containment technology protects web sites from other web
sites on the same SiteStak. ISPs who dedicate an entire
web server to each customer can dramatically reduce
equipment and management costs by consolidating web sites
onto SiteStaks.
|
Log Files |
SiteStak stores a global log file that
you can download for billing and network planning
purposes. Each virtual web site's log file can be
downloaded by the site owner into a traffic analysis tool
to determine who has browsed the site's contents. All of
the information needed to perform complex visit analyses
is provided in the log files in standard W3C extended log
format. |
