In 2002, Crescendo Networks' founders recognized the fundamental need to optimize and accelerate web applications without inefficiently scaling out web servers. They also realized that application delivery appliances relying on standard, off-the-shelf CPUs could not meet the performance and scalability requirements of high-volume Web environments.

The Crescendo team created a powerful, purpose-built hardware platform specifically to address these application delivery challenges. Specialized hardware engines using dedicated memory resources don't slow down under load. AppBeat DC, first available in 2005, is now widely deployed in high-volume web properties around the globe, and has been independently validated as the performance leader in the Application Delivery Controller market.
