Server Load Balancers
New server load balancing technology has added numerous features and greater performance to optimize internet traffic to your application servers and provide better response using caching, compression, TCP connection reuse and HTTP multiplexing. One new generation server load balancer is able to replace three older models you might be paying maintenance on today and now you can accelerate your application delivery using Layer 4 through 7 and possibly reduce the number of servers required.
When load balancing your server farm or virtual clustered servers there are several new products from A10 Networks and Kemp Technologies that provide entry level to carrier class performance characteristics. Enhanced features for load balancing include SSL acceleration, enhanced security, session persistence, cookies, global server load balancing, and high availability. These new features along with new high performance hardware will increase your customer perception when accessing your hosted Web server applications or internal multi-media applications. New generation server load balancers accelerate application delivery whether you have fixed servers, clustered servers, virtual servers or moving to cloud computing.
The new generation of load balancers also provides simple and easy to understand user interfaces that helps you get the systems up and running quickly with extensive reporting features to track how well you are sharing your resources, health of your servers, Microsoft terminal services, content switching functions, and the effectiveness of your applications delivery controller.
To size up what size server load balancer you need consider how many sessions you are supporting and how many servers you have today as well as where you expect to be in 1 or 2 years. Put together a list of applications to be supported and a quick diagram of your switch ports, speeds and interfaces (1Gbps or 10Gbps), and server connections. Next, call OASYS and we will help you decide on what you need and provide either an online demo or an on-site presentation to review the application and how you will implement. These days with the easy setup capability this process usually takes 15 minutes on the phone followed by a webex with your tech staff to review how to configure and any special issues you may have.

In many cases these projects are a burden to current staff and we have worked as Project Managers to help plan, evaluate and provide complete installed and configured systems and familiarized staff with operations and use. Our Customer Service department works with all involved manufacturers to co-terminate maintenance contracts. Our sales team is continually attending seminars and attending training for ITIL Certification to better serve our clients.
