ZXTM Global Load Balancer Delivers Business Continuity and Improved Performance Over Multiple Datcenters
ZXTM GLB is a powerful, easy to use Global Server Load Balancing solution that provides business continuity and improved customer experience by enabling failover and load balancing across globally-distributed datacenters
Many organizations locate their online services in multiple datacenters to get their content closer to their users and to improve resilience in the event of site attacks or datacenter failure.
ZXTM Global Load Balancer (ZXTM GLB) enables the transparent delivery of these services and applications from multiple datacenters.
The ZXTM GLB continually monitors the performance and availability of each of the services you run in the different locations. It manages users’ requests to access these services, intelligently directing each user to the most appropriate service point based on current performance, service availability and geographic proximity.
ZXTM Global Load Balancer:
Manages DNS lookups—reliable and fully standards compliant
Easy to install—works with existing DNS servers, with minimal reconfiguration
Available as software or as a hardware appliance for maximum choice
Complete Service Health monitoring continually tests services for availability
and correct operation with a range of pre-built and configurable tests
Active-passive failover with optional ‘no-fail-back’ for controlled transfer of
services from one location to another
Load balancing methods (not available in Disaster Recovery version):
- Datacenter Load Balancing based on observed performance
- Geographic Proximity routes each user to the closest datacenter
- Adaptive routes users based on proximity and datacenter load
- Datacenter Load Balancing based on observed performance
- Geographic Proximity routes each user to the closest datacenter
- Adaptive routes users based on proximity and datacenter load
Sophisticated visualization displays the effectiveness of the GLB configuration
Activity monitoring and self-diagnostics for trend analysis and fault isolation
With ZXTM GLB, you will:
Ensure business continuity in the event of a site attack, datacenter failure or unplanned maintenance
Place your services closer to your users, giving them a faster, more reliable service and a better overall experience.
Improve datacenter utilization and efficiency by load-balancing traffic towards datacenters with spare capacity as user volumes move throughout the day.
Reduce system administration risks by draining traffic away from services in a datacenter before planned maintenance.
Obtain a clear picture of activity — where your users are located and which datacenters they are accessing.
