History. aiScaler started as a project in 1994 by the web development company WBS. The project  was called "Jxel", short for Java Accelerator. The technology was Java-based and intended to be run on a Java Virtual Machine sharing the same computer system as the HTTP server. It was re-written in 2009 using the C computer language, occupying its own dedicated server. The new software was rewritten to run on Linux only, taking advantage of changes in the input/output model based on epoll. In July 2008, aiScaler Ltd acquired all technology of WBS for $3.8 million. Until 2013, aiScaler was known as "aiCache", producing a product called aiScaler. The company took over the  name of its main product, phasing out the brand name aiCache. Products. All aiScaler products can be categorized as Application Delivery Controllers aiScaler is based on epoll technology allowing it to employ a right-threaded (only the specified number of workers process requests, no matter how many clients are connected), non-blocking, multiplexed IO design.
