The product family encompasses the following four web performance 
solutions:

WhizzBee Web Server - a high-performance web server software that provides 
instant content delivery and 24x7 availability for all business 
applications. It is an ideal choice for building a new web site to harness 
all the power coming from the clustering technology and Whizz's EC-Cache 
Engine.

WhizzBee Site Accelerator - an accelerator for existing web servers, whose 
installation and operation require no modification of current software and 
data. The acceleration is behind-the-scene and remains hassle-free for as 
long as the existing web server is running.

WhizzBee Proxy Server - a proxy server powered by Whizz's EC-Cache Engine. 
To be placed strategically between the Internet and local web clients, it 
significantly reduces the delays experienced by local users.

WhizzBee Proxy-Accelerator - a functional integration of the WhizzBee Site 
Accelerator and the Proxy Server which combines the benefits of the two. 
Local web clients will have faster response while requests from the 
Internet are served and responded to instantly.

All the WhizzBee product packages will be up and running after an easy 
installation procedure requiring just a few clicks. Each package comes 
with management and monitoring tools that are most convenient to use and 
are customizable.

A minimal configuration of WhizzBee Web Server 2.0 requires two PCs 
running RedHat Linux v7.1 or v7.2. It supports up to 128 Web server nodes.
