Good day!
My development group has been hired to develop an ad
serving system for www.bannerserver.com. Having found
so much useful information on this list, I thought I'd
tell you about our system and let you guys torture it
or tell us about features we may have missed. The test
system is online at http://web-3.zencor.org/beserved
and is open for free usage.
The legacy system was built using PHP/PERL/MySQL, the
new system is pure C code and is expected to deliver
superior performance as well as operate without needing
a third-party database. It needs to handle 1,000 serves
per second and be capable of clustering and fail-over.
We're at version 0.5.0 now, and have solved numerous
performance-limiting factors at the OS level, such as
the SYN_RECD TCP/IP stack bug that affects most UNIX
kernels. We're now testing the system and optimizing
the code for deployment in a month or so.
I'd be interested to hear about any technical issues
which have affected ad serving software in the past, as
well as any functionality wish-lists, to make our
system the best around. Perhaps if you can present us
with a technical issue we can solve it to our mutal
benefit.
I'm not at all experienced in the marketing industry,
but if I know the issues involved I think our team can
pump out a system capable of superior performance, low
maintanance and a high level of security.
Good luck everyone!
