Major improvements have been made to LinkScan 5.0 to make it serve the needs of workgroups throughout the enterprise and facilitate the workflow between content managers, developers and systems administrators. These improvements are the result of radical design changes that make version 5.0 essentially a new product compared to earlier versions. This effort was energized by the needs of organizations with very large intranet websites and public websites.
Benchmarks prove that the new LinkScan checks internal links twice as fast as earlier versions.
This performance boost compliments the extraordinary and incomparable speed with which it has always scanned external links. LinkScan employs multi- threaded simultaneous processing that can check over 30 links concurrently. With the explosive growth of web based applications, managers must be concerned about the scalability of their applications and tools. Many link validating programs have severe scalability problems that cause them to run slow, slow down, or simply crash when attempting to negotiate large websites. Elsop has eliminated those limitations with a server-based architecture that minimizes the use of virtual memory and other system resources.
