| The
EqualizerTM network appliance is state-of-the-art
in load balancing technology for Internet servers.
With the Equalizer, you can minimize response time
while maximizing site availability.
Equalizer:
- Distributes
requests to servers according to user-configurable
load-balancing criteria.
- Automatically
detects changes in server status and routes
requests accordingly.
- Lets
you add and remove servers without bringing
down the site or service.
- Is easily
managed through its web browser-based administration
interface.
- Is available
in a hot-backup configuration for no Single
Point of Failure.
Equalizer
determines which server in your network is the
least loaded and routes requests to that machine.
Because Equalizer intelligently assigns requests,
all of your servers can operate at their full
capacity--you won't have some servers sitting
idle while others are overloaded. Designed to
be highly-scalable, Equalizer maintains the same
high-speed performance as you add servers to the
system.
Equalizer
works with any server platform and OS and intelligently
load balances most any TCP/IP based service, including
HTTP, SMTP, POP, NNTP, ASP and SSL.
Equalizer's
advanced Adaptive Load Balancing algorithms constantly
monitor server preformance and availability, taking
into account the following parameters:
- Server
response time - the time required for the server
to process actual client requests.
- Number
of requests pending at each server
- Measurements
taken directly on the server (using optional
server agents)
- User
configurable server weight values
When you
deploy an array of load balanced Cobalt RaQ server
appliances you'll be up and running in record
time. Able to handle any any traffic challenge
with with fail-safe security.
