Re­search at Maier­hofer Soft­ware

Maier­hofer Soft­ware does re­search to build en­vi­ron­men­tally and eco­nomic soft­ware. Server per­for­mance is the key to fur­ther ex­pan­sion of the In­ter­net. It is stated that Google is the largest con­sumer of elec­tric­ity in the world. The fu­ture growth of Google de­pends on the cost of elec­tric­ity they need. Many Web 2.0 projects failed on host­ing costs as soon as the num­ber of users rises.

Ex­ist­ing Con­tent Man­age­ment Sys­tems (CMS) and Web ap­pli­ca­tions of­ten break down un­der load. Espe­cially pop­u­lar CMS with dy­namic con­tent and Web ap­pli­ca­tions can not han­dle much more than 10-40 re­quests per sec­ond. This is cost-in­ef­fi­cient in case of hard­ware needs and power con­sump­tion.

We are thus de­vel­op­ing tech­nolo­gies to make ef­fi­cient and scal­able Web servers.
