Case Study: CollabNet VersionOne achieves 50% faster global web response times with Instart Logic

VersionOne Cuts Web Response Times of its SaaS App by 50% Globally Deploying Instart Logic’s Web Application Streaming Technology

VersionOne, an Atlanta-based provider of agile ALM software used by tens of thousands of teams (including 35 of the Fortune 100), struggled with global performance as its SaaS platform scaled. Because each user has a highly personalized, rapidly changing project view, traditional CDNs and caching (including Akamai and Cotendo) couldn’t meaningfully speed up dynamic content, creating a need for a solution that could accelerate personalized, real-time application updates and provide strong support and mobile readiness.

In 2013 VersionOne deployed Instart Logic’s Web Application Streaming Network—quickly via simple DNS changes—using its Global Network Accelerator and Dynamic HTML Streaming to stream non-unique dynamic HTML while the server generates unique portions. The change produced immediate, visible improvements and delivered a 50–60% reduction in response times for global users versus origin delivery, outperforming prior vendors, with fast, knowledgeable support and built‑in mobile acceleration for future plans.
