- Maestro Brings Unparalleled Level of Web Performance Improvement and
Concurrency to Data Centers

TEL AVIV, Israel, Crescendo Networks, Ltd. Maestro's unique
high-performance hardware architecture ensures that all offload capabilities
run concurrently, without the degradation caused by off-the -shelf hardware and
software solutions.
Maestro features a unique "Least Number of Pending Requests " algorithm that
controls the request flow to each of the servers according to actual load and
the maximum capacity of servers delivering significantly better performance
than traditional L4-7 devices that only balance at the connection level.
