Enterprise Level Performance for Your Content Delivery Network
Content delivery services including /images, interactive content, software downloads, streaming audio and video, web pages and more are in increasing demand by users all over the world. Content delivery networks must ensure that every user reaches the server that will best fulfill that user's request. For content delivery and acceleration, "best" is defined as 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. Even if a server becomes unavailable, a content delivery application stops responding, or responds slowly due to load, end user access and content availability are uncompromised because traffic is rerouted seamlessly to the best available server.
Content delivery services require guaranteed availability and fast response times. To do so you must maximize your network performance with faster downloads, higher speed streaming, and quicker page loads. How can you effectively scale server clusters and ensure peak performance that guarantee fast, reliable access to network content? The answer involves more than just load balancing across your clusters. You must also remove the unnecessary CPU intensive activities that reduce the efficiency of these content serving clusters.
By moving CPU intensive SSL acceleration and compression of HTTP content from your servers to the Equalizer businesses benefit from secure and efficient processing of content delivery requests. Additionally wide area or Global Server Load Balancing delivers the user to the best 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%.
Redundancy and Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB)
Equalizer server load balancing helps businesses deliver content 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 of 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.
Content Delivery for Texas A&M
A good example of our content delivery successes is our recently announced solution for Texas A&M University. Texas A&M implemented redundant Equalizer load balancers as the critical high-availability component of its Texas A&M University Athletics portal. The AggieAthletics.com portal provides scoring, event times and locations, post-event articles, photos and press releases, as well as access to live audio and video feeds from CSTV.com.
To ensure non-stop online access to Aggie sports, two Equalizer load balancers provide a non-stop front end in a hot failover configuration routing traffic from the virtual IP network to their content delivery cluster of HP servers. The Coyote system enables the AggieAthletics.com website to handle immense bursts of traffic during sports contests, when over 50,000 avid Aggie fans access up to 3 million web pages per hour.
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.
You'll have detailed graphical views with configuration and status reporting that is 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 content delivery.
Predictable, Reliable and Consistent
The bottom line for any business is making sure services offered are predictable, reliable and consistent. To offer that level of quality means having an infrastructure that promises the same. Redundant configurations for very high availability and ultra scalable Gigabit performance supporting 12 million concurrent sessions make Equalizer ideal for content delivery applications. Equalizer offers reliability, scalability, and performance to deliver superior user experiences and the highest levels of service continuity.
