The chart above shows the actual performance boost from NewServe using one of the industry's latest servers running the industry's latest software. The server was a 64-bit SunFire X4150 with a 2.3GHz quad-core Xeon processor. The software was Windows Server 20008 R2 running Microsoft's Windows Media Server. An older server running Windows Server 2003 served 100% more video with NewServe.
Server vendors spend tens of millions of dollars each year to try to squeeze 10% more performance from their hardware. A 68% boost in server performance is massive.
Note also that the hardware improvements that are made by server vendors will not catch and make NewServe obsolete. In five years servers may have ridden Moore's law up to run CPU benchmarks faster and improvements in storage technology may allow 5X more data to be stored on the disks. But NewServe will still come along then and improve the performance of that server, because the mechanical delays in the system will still be about the same, and reducing the number of those delays that clients have to wait for is the source of NewServe's performance.
