Features, Functions & Benefits

Server load balancing based on server loads and weighted round-robin algorithms.

Supports industry standard server load balancing algorithms.

Presents a single access point to outside connections and facilitates horizontal scaling. Service availability is thus provided by supporting server failover.

Content load balancing based on URL, Cookie and CGI.

Load balance traffic based on http attributes of a request.

Intelligent parsing of incoming requests to improve system efficiency and reduce response time.

Server-to-client direct response.

Passes response directly from server to the client bypassing the load balancer.

Can load balance more traffic than a proxy-based load balancer with the same interfaces and utilizes the B1600 switch capacity efficiently to provide faster request-data fulfillment.

Service failover support.

Monitors blade servers and in case of failure, moves traffic to active blade.

Provides service and high availability.

Full duplex Dual Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.

High bandwidth connectivity to the Sun Fire B1600 Chassis backplane.

High throughput load balancing functionality optimized for the Blade Platform.

Seamless Integration with the Sun Fire B1600 Blade Platform.

Common management and backplane for console, power, FRU ID and SC management.

Ease of management and administration. Also provides one implementation of custom hardware/software and space/power savings.

Custom hardware and firmware implementation.

Provides leading price/performance.

Lower TCO.

Supports Centralized/Distributed topology.

Can support servers within a single chassis as well as across multiple chassis'.

Flexibility of implementation.
