1 . Begin Load Balancing - Add a Channel
Adding a second content server to be load balanced offers high availability and service resilience.
2 . How to add a Content Server
Having set up a channel to represent your service, it is now necessary to configure the content servers to be load balanced.
3 . Add a Second Content Server
This short demo illustrates a common scenario,
where incoming requests for one location need
to be rewritten to another location.

to be rewritten to another location.
4 . Taking a Content Server Offline for Maintenance
This tutorial demonstrates how easy it is to take a content server offline for maintenance. It then simulates how to serve traffic through a particular server.
5 . Adding a Port
This video demonstrates how easy it is to add another service whilst using the same virtual IP address. Using the intuitive ALB-X GUI, the "add port" button automatically pre-fills your virtual IP details.
6 . Applying SSL to a Channel
When you have configured a secure service you must then apply SSL to a channel by selecting an SSL certificate. With the ALB-X, this is an incredibly simple process of selecting your certificate from a menu.
7 . Create a Self Signed SSL Certificate
The jetNEXUS ALB-X makes SSL certificate management very simple and straightforward. In this video we create a local certificate to enable the termination of SSL traffic on the ALB-X.
8 . Apply a flightPATH Rule - Force Secure Connection
The jetNEXUS ALB-X makes SSL certificate management very simple and straightforward. In this video we create a local certificate to enable the termination of SSL traffic on the ALB-X.
9. Apply a flightPATH Rule - Blank Out Credit Card Numbers
This video demonstrates how to deploy a flightPATH rule to edit the content of a web site on the fly. In this particular example, it is to blank out credit card numbers, providing an added layer of security.
10. Edit a flightPATH Rule -Show Last 4 Credit Card Digits Only
flightPATH rules are easy to edit to suit particular requirements. This specific example changes the values in the flightPATH 'Action Tab' to show only the last four digits of the credit card.
11. Apply a Caching Rule
In order to save the number of requests sent to the web servers, the jetNEXUS ALB-X can cache commonly requested content such as images, JavaScript and HTML.
12. Monitor Statistics
The intuitive GUI on the jetNEXUS ALB-X provides users with the ability to view real time statistics for caching, compression, CPU, memory and connections.
13. Enable Connection Pooling
The jetNEXUS ALB-X load balancer is capable of opening a set of connections to some web servers and reusing them, thus reducing the effects of TCP/IP slow start.
14. Apply a flightPATH Rule - Redirect Based on Empty Path
How to isue a redirect traffic management rule with flightPATH, based on a blank path in the URL.
15. Active Server Monitoring
This demo shows you how to turn on Active Server Monitoring on the jetNEXUS ALB-X for uninterrupted service delivery.
16. flightPATH - Use Server Pools Based on Domain
How to isue a redirect traffic management rule with flightPATH, based on a blank path in the URL.
17. Configure ALB for Microsoft Exchange 2010
This video tutorial shows you how to set up and configure the jetNEXUS ALB for load balancing Microsoft Exchange 2010.
18. flightPATH - Use Server Pools by Content Type
Using a simple drag and drop rule from the flightPATH routing catalogue, you can serve different content from separate server pools.
