ISP Session - the most scalable ASP Session replacement

What is session management for websites?

Imagine you have a website with products and a shopping basket. You want your customers to be able to login and manage their basket or lists. If your website is very successful, you find that just one web server is not sufficient, so you configure a second or more web servers to host the same website. What happens to your session data? How does the personalized basket run on two or more web servers? You guessed 'bad', right? You would need a major redesign for your solution to get your shopping basket running on all web servers. For such challenges you'll find ISP Session an ideal component which can minimize your TCO since it can deal with the multiple web server situation with a minimum of additional ASP code or rewriting.

Architecture of a web farm using ISP Session. ISP Session, is your solution for a safe, scalable, reliable and easy session state. That's why we call it an ISP Session object replacement.

How does it work?

Our ISP Session component works confluently with your existing precious ASP (wether it be on 32-bit or 64-bit windows) code, but at the same time it internally persists binary data in a compressed format to a state service using the TCP protocol. It enables you to plug and play additional web servers. It is using the best technology for your ASP Scripts (evt with ASP.NET) that Windows 2003 and higher can offer, for instance, it it benefits from the available runtimes on Windows, while it's code -in memory- footprint requirements are as reduced as possible. If you would like to know more about ISP Session, please see the other pages and download the demo available on this site for more details.

Features

Our 'Microsoft© Session' object replacement has many integral tools such as support for serialization with the Microsoft session object, and session data exchange plus compatibility with Asp.Net!
Last but not least, it supports any language since it internally stores data using the right encoding for the internet, that is 'utf-8'.

You can use sessions without using cookies to maintain them. And if you take the default a 'session-depending-on-cookie'-road, you don't even have to rewrite/review all your ASP designed pages!

Source code licensing

So if you were looking for a cute component to support your website, look no further. Spare yourself the time. You can obtain a license for the full source code with permission to customize it.

ISP GuidGen - a necessary component if you go for 64 bit and free-threading (MTA)

ISP GuidGen functions a bit like Microsofts Sytem.Guid (.NET).
You need GuidGen if you prefer 64-bit and free threaded COM components for ASP, instead of the alternative STA (single threaded apartment) Scriptlet.TypeLib.
It's a tiny but smooth component, that just does what it must do, generating unique Guids, formatting them, and reading them back! Just one more thing to mention, it also can present a Guid as a base64 encoded string.
