jetNEXUS Accelerating Load Balancer Extreme ISO

Cost effective, high performance fully integrated software load balancer

The jetNEXUS ALB-X (Accelerating Load Balancer Extreme) ISO is a fully integrated software load balancer product complete with operating system and installer in one, enabling clients for the first time ever to take the powerful architecture of the jetNEXUS ALB-X solution and build onto almost any standard server hardware platform.

The build process is simple and requires no installation configuration or understanding of the underlying custom Linux operation system. Simply boot the jetNEXUS ISO on the server hardware’s CD drive and let the builder run.
Once completed, you will have a full jetNEXUS ALB-X based on your chosen server hardware platform.

The Results are in!
ALB-X ISO is awarded Gold in independent testing - read the review here.

It is no longer necessary to use dedicated specialised hardware for Load Balancing. With the ever increasing performance capacities of standard server hardware, it makes a lot of sense to take advantage of this trend rather than purchasing dedicated hardware.

In many cases it can also be more environmentally responsible to reprovision older server hardware and purchase new hardware for more CPU intensive applications. Software load balancers can help with these issues, but require a complex understanding of the underlying operating system.

In addition to the obvious build complexity, ‘problem ownership’ is not clear. Load balancers can certainly be described as mission critical equipment and any ambiguities as to who owns the problem should failures occur can only extend downtime. Is it the hardware, the operating system, the software, or some aspect of the configuration of any of these elements?

The jetNEXUS ISO simplifies this ownership issue in a number of ways. Hardware issues are normally clearly identifiable (e.g. a power supply failure or similar) and remain the responsibility of the hardware supplier, but any other issue becomes jetNEXUS’ support responsibility.

In addition, jetNEXUS ALB-X ISO can be configured in a paired, high-availability configuration that eliminates downtime as a matter of course.
