We recently announced that REAL Server 2009, which improves scalability and performance, will ship in February. REAL Server 2009 has a new, completely re-engineered event-based asynchronous architecture. A preliminary test of the new server shows that REAL Server 2009 can handle more than 10,000 concurrent connections. Other servers require complex load balancing and multiple servers to handle the same load.
Here is a sneak preview of the new REAL Server 2009 Admin application.
