LA JOLLA, CA – June 10, 2010 – Caucho® Technology, the open source Web Profile leader for Java EE application servers, today announced that the popular iPhone app WhosHere has selected Resin Professional as their deployment choice.
WhosHere is a global mobile proximity networking application for the iPhone and is currently used in over 150 countries. With well over 1 million users, WhosHere is ideal for professional networking, making new friends, dating, or chatting and swapping pictures with new and interesting people nearby and around the world. Location based services are a growing need for expanding businesses and social network groups and individuals.
MyRete Founder and CEO, Bryant Harris observed, “WhosHere traffic of 100,000 unique visitors a day and handling over four million transactions a day demands a highly reliable and scalable application server,” Harris continued, “I was using another well known Open source servlet container and my site was falling over under load. After trying everything I could think to configure the other product, I downloaded Resin and dropped it into production. My site immediately began handling the peak load and I was sold.”
“Resin is designed to perform under heavy load in a highly responsive way,” said Emil Ong, Chief Evangelist of Caucho® Technology. “iPhone applications, like WhosHere, with their unique traffic patterns and latency demands demonstrate the versatile strength of Resin’s design for both web and mobile applications.
Resin, Caucho’s open source Java application server, features the Hessian serialization protocol and Quercus Java-PHP solutions. Resin is the Web Profile of choice for high performance Java EE applications. Leading companies including Salesforce, the Toronto Stock Exchange and CNet use Resin to power their web applications which have high demands for reliability and performance.
