Performance improvements
2) Actions taken
Data transferred after clearing cache Data transferred with caching enabled
22KB300KB
First time access Reload or Access after that
� Big-IP
• Big-IP for network load balancing, compression and also to stop losing
performances in the datacenter (NLB was broadcasting when STSADM backups
start)
• Compression resulted in reduction of 70% of size of page transferred on the network
� IIS Caching increased
• Javascript, CSS, gifs, etc… are cached on the client (~280KB)
• Only HTML and headers are downloaded when accessing the page (~22KB)
