For some time, we've been very busy integrating an embedded web server into our products. Not only will this make our software easier to use overall, but in the times of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), it will allow you to manipulate most properties and views using a web browser.
Our first product to implement an embedded web server will be License Statistics. With the introduction of this capability, we will greatly increase the speed of the software, as we're finally getting to the bottom of some persistent performance bottlenecks.
This improvement will have the most impact on our largest customers, who will see that the software consumes much less CPU and memory. This speed increase is due to the fact that HTML pages will no longer need to be pre-generated like they are today. As some of our customers often have more than 10,000 concurrent files being generated, the performance improvement is significant. We're at once eliminating the need for this file generation, and rather introducing a dynamic generation of pages similar to web languages such as PHP.
As always, our code is platform-independent, and thus this embedded web server will be introduced on all the platforms on which our software is supported.
Furthermore, the development is a long-term investment in delivering improved tools for managing software licenses as requested by you, our customers.
