LeanServer

LeanServer techniques are based on years of architecting the insides of the Microsoft web platform.

This unique expertise allows us to maximize the performance potential of the Windows Server platform, enabling deep operating efficiencies.

LeanServer scalability and performance tools work with existing applications to directly reduce the top costs of web infrastructure, including power, bandwidth, and support costs.

We work closely with our partners to help solve the toughest scalability problems. Our partners get access to the LeanServer expertise, and the tools to significantly reduce IT costs while enhancing the reliability and performance of their web infrastructure. If you host web applications on the Windows Server platform, contact us to see if you might be a good match for any of our beta programs.

You can also explore the set of tools we have made commercially available here.
