Multi-Threaded Runtime

Microsoft™ .NET was written from the ground up and does not inherit any of the design restrictions imposed by previous Microsoft™ technologies such as COM. This means that .NET components are fully multithreaded and able to be used from multiple threads without any restrictions from the Framework itself as was true in a COM environment (STA, MTA, etc).

The RuleManager engine is built to be completely thread safe and to take advantage of the .NET multi-threaded paradigm. This yields large gains in both scalability and performance.
