High Performance Load Balancing for Networked and
Web-Enabled Applications
High Performance Load Balancing for Networked and
Web-Enabled Applications
ZXTM LB adds load balancing and resilience to your services, with high-performance SSL and content compression, content-aware traffic management rules and flexible health monitoring. It offers a low-cost starting point, with a smooth and cost-effective upgrade path to scale as your service grows.
ZXTM LB improves the performance, reliability and scalability of networked and web-enabled applications through a combination of SSL and WAN offload, content compression, performance and health monitoring, and automatic failover in the event of hardware or software failure. CPU-intensive processing such as SSL can be offloaded onto ZXTM LB to free up application servers such as BEA WebLogicTM and IBM WebSphereTM to do their own specialist tasks, greatly enhancing their performance and your return on investment.
ZXTM LB can be deployed in active / active clusters to protect you against hardware failures
Each ZXTM LB monitors the health of its paired unit, and each of the back-end servers.
Incoming traffic is processed by ZXTM LB
RuleBuilder™ rules are used to route each request to an appropriate server pool
