Application Load Balancing and Acceleration - Growth Imperatives for Managed Service Providers
Application delivery and acceleration have emerged as two of the cornerstones for the growth of Managed Services Providers (MSPs) seeking to serve the rapidly growing mainstream market of Small-Medium Businesses and Enterprises (SMBs/SMEs).
Managed Solutions Providers are delivering more and more applications for an increasing client constituent. As the number of servers and logical data centers in a typical MSP explodes, the infrastructure necessary to provide high levels of service quality also continues to grow. This expanding infrastructure can be difficult and expensive to manage. Every client who deploys an application through an MSP expects to eliminate application availability problems, sluggish performance and to operate with enhanced security. Equalizer appliances are designed to ensure that managed applications are always available and highly responsive, so that customers can't tell the difference between a hosted application and one that is running on their own LAN.
Enterprise Level Performance for Your Services Delivery Network
The demand is rising for Manages Solutions Providers to delivering an increasing number of services, content delivery and applications for the growing market. To reliably ensure that delivery of applications like email, interactive web content, E-commerce, images, software downloads, streaming audio and video, MSPs must ensure that every user reaches the server that will best fulfill that user's request. For your customers best is generally defined as 100% access to an available server with the appropriate content, delivering the fastest response time.
Equalizer appliances automatically monitor application and server health along with server load and application response times. Equalizer then uses 'application-aware' load balancing to route traffic more intelligently. If a server becomes unavailable, an application stops responding, or responds slowly due to load, end user access to their applications is uncompromised because traffic is rerouted seamlessly to the best available server.
Managed services require guaranteed availability and fast response times for the services you deliver. To do so you must maximize your network performance to deliver on user expectations. How can you effectively scale server clusters and ensure peak performance that guarantee fast, reliable access to network content? The answer is more than load balancing across your clusters. You must also remove the unnecessary CPU intensive activities that reduce the efficiency of these content and application serving clusters.
By moving CPU intensive SSL acceleration and compression of HTTP content from your servers to the Equalizer MSPs can offer clients secure and efficient processing of their content delivery and application access. Additionally wide area or Global Server Load Balancing delivers the users to the best available serving clusters to deliver content with the fastest response times. This reduces the number of servers and bandwidth necessary to deliver faster application response to users. The goal is achieved as end user response times improve up to 5x while bandwidth requirements plummet as much as 50%.
Increasing Performance While Reducing Costs
Data Center capacity planning and high quality service delivery are easier to achieve and more affordable with Equalizer. When your goal is superior application performance and availability the Equalizer E650GX is an all-in-one application delivery appliance designed to do just that. With load balancing performance at all Gigabit speeds and boasting built in hardware based SSL processing and HTTP Web compression this flagship Equalizer appliance has everything you need to assure your client's applications are always available and performing at peak speeds even when traffic across your server clusters surge. The E650GX includes capabilities for the multi site MSP that include Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) and disaster recovery.
Equalizer load balancers are a cost-effective appliance-based solution for managing the scalability, availability and performance requirements of any MSP data center or network infrastructure. Network potential is maximized by minimizing response times and ensuring site availability. The ability to operate independent of operating system and Internet protocol allows network administrators to deliver maximum performance for any customers' mission-critical service or application in any network that requires high availability and fault-tolerance. With Equalizer(s) deployed you are able to maintain the highest level of service for your customers.
Redundancy and Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB)
Equalizer server load balancing helps businesses deliver content and applications efficiently from a single location. Equalizer plus Envoy brings content delivery efficiencies to multiple data centers and completes the content delivery solution of the Equalizer. Envoy is a powerful Global Server Load-Balancing tool that directs traffic to multiple data centers according to business-defined policies matched against real-time performance and availability metrics gathered from each data center. Using our Geographic Query Protocol Equalizer enables fine-grained wide-area redirection for every client request without a drop of connection latency.
To guarantee even higher levels of availability Equalizer appliances can be configured in a fault tolerant configuration with a redundant Equalizer in hot standby. This allows network administrators of any content delivery service that requires 100% availability to ensure users are never impacted by unavailable network resources including the loss of the Equalizer itself. Content deliver becomes efficient and reliable.
Easy to Install, Even Easier to Use
Our intuitive administrative interface provides a dynamic user friendly experience. Configuration wizards make Equalizer easy to configure and manage by leading users through the set-up process for clusters, servers, match rules and failover configurations. Best of all, it's equally easy to manage. All on-screen objects are interactive to make installing and managing Equalizer simple.
Equalizer's built-in reporting features, plotting server and cluster performance, make it easy for Managed Service Providers to confirm that traffic is flowing smoothly. Using the graphical display of server performance, it's easy to monitor the load and plan for the future. Detailed graphical views with configuration and status reporting are accessible and comprehensive. Users have quick and easy access to summary statistics of clusters and servers, or the ability to drill down to fine-grained details. The Equalizer includes graphical, real-time performance monitoring and SNMP support to seamlessly integrate into the most sophisticated and demanding environments. Simply put, Equalizer takes the guesswork and complexity out of reliable service delivery.
Predictable, Reliable and Consistent
The bottom line for any MSP is making sure services offered are predictable, reliable and consistent. To offer that level of quality means having an infrastructure that promises the same. With redundant configurations for very high availability and ultra scalable gigabit performance supporting 12 million concurrent sessions Equalizer is ideal for managed services environments. Equalizer offers reliability, scalability, and performance to deliver superior user experiences and the highest levels of service continuity.
