As digital services face unpredictable surges in online demand, STCLab is helping enterprises turn traffic from a liability into a strategic advantage. Headquartered in Seoul and operating in Japan since 2024, the company is best known for NetFUNNEL, a high-capacity SaaS platform that provides virtual waiting rooms, real-time traffic throttling, and bot defense—ensuring system uptime without overprovisioning infrastructure.
With use cases spanning ticketing platforms, online retailers, financial institutions, and public service portals, NetFUNNEL is now being deployed by a growing number of Japanese companies seeking stability, scalability, and cost efficiency—all in a world where digital downtime is no longer tolerated.
NetFUNNEL: The Infrastructure Behind Seamless Digital Access
NetFUNNEL enables organizations to maintain performance under stress by acting as a virtual gatekeeper—managing traffic flow at one-second intervals and preventing queue bypass attempts or infrastructure overloads.
Key Capabilities:

- Bot Defense Integration: Compatible with BotManager Pro to block malicious traffic and preserve legitimate user experience.
- Queue Optimization: Keeps users informed in a branded, customizable waiting room while allocating backend resources in sync with capacity.
- Cloud and On-Prem Flexibility: Allows organizations to maintain cost-effective architecture while adapting to demand fluctuations without overpaying for unused resources.
Built for digital mission-critical events, NetFUNNEL ensures that platforms remain reliable even at traffic peaks exceeding 200 million concurrent users.
