Frequently Asked Questions
What is G-WAN?
G-WAN is a small-footprint (200 KB) Web server with full ANSI-C scripts (that you just 'edit & play') which are as fast as static pages and which scale orders of magnitude better than ASP.Net C#, Java or PHP.
Why bother to create another platform ?
Other Web Application servers underperform and don't scale: BigCos have other priorities like patents (Java, .Net). By contrast, G-WAN (Global-WAN) offers an efficient and durable infrastructure (ANSI C is patent-free).
Why is G-WAN safer than others?
Less code also means less bugs. Unlike .Net, Java or PHP, C does not suffer from recurring implementation security holes. And G-WAN's crash-proof dynamic buffers and garbage collector are safer (and faster).
Are G-WAN-based programs as fast as G-WAN?
As all the 'infrastructure' code (processing, RPC, security, etc.) is done by G-WAN, your Web applications directly benefit from G-WAN's performances, scalability and reliability.
Who will benefit from using G-WAN?
Start-ups' shortest path to realization and Incumbants' best way to save, Students' most efficient playground and End-users' safest protection, G-WAN helps you to shine - even when the sun doesn't.
How much does it cost ?
G-WAN is free for all and will stay free to let users get the most of their hardware. G-WAN's distributed Cloud Processing / Storage features will either be paid or free - depending on users' willingness to contribute to the success of other users.
Will BSD, OSX or Solaris be supported?
G-WAN's small footprint and modularity make it easy to port on any platform. The Linux and Windows versions were made available in less than one year. As Windows performs miserably, Linux is today's best choice.
