The Radialware Comet Server

Traditional web sites are designed so that your customers have to constantly reload your company's web page to obtain new information. With the Radialware Comet Server you can push information to your customers without requiring their interaction.

Consider a page containing stock quotes. On a typical web page containing one or more stock quotes a user would have to reload the page whenever the new price data is needed. If you built a web page using our Comet Server a user would open the web page using a regular web browser but you would be able to change data on the page on the fly!

As the name of the product suggests, we use an adaptation of the Comet protocol. On a normal web page a user's browser will request a web page and then immediately disconnect. The Comet protocol is designed to force a browser to maintain an open connection to the server so that the server can send data continuously or on demand. This makes the Radialware Comet Server ideal for applications such as:

  • Customer support online chat sessions
  • Stock tracking
  • Remote monitoring of industrial and medical real-time data
  • News alerts and broadcasts

There are a few commercial products available but our product is different. Not only is it stable, fast, and a platform on which you can build sophisticated Web 2.0 applications, but it is also FREE!
