jetNEXUS ALB-X Features:
HTTP Content Compression
jetNEXUS ADC devices accelerate application performance and reduce bandwidth costs by compressing content before it is sent to clients which helps to reduce the burden on the networking infrastructure.
How does HTTP Compression work?
Web pages are very compressible. Typically an average web page, whether it is dynamically generated or static content, can be reduced in size by 80-90%. This means that there is a lot less data to send across the internet to the end user. Nearly all browsers can accept the compressed content automatically without the end user having to make any changes. The ALB-X is intelligent enough to recognise what level and type of compressed content browsers can accept, thus ensuring reliable page renditions. The page will be delivered faster, using less bandwidth and server resource.

jetNEXUS does not compress all types of content. Images such as JPG, PNG etc are already compressed; as such they see very little benefit from additional compression.
jetNEXUS Compression in Action
The below is an example of compression in action on the jetNEXUS ALB-X. The ALB-X shows a number of live statistics from the compression engine:
This screen shot was taken from the GUI of an ALB X in action at an e-commerce customer's site. The “Content compression to Date” in this screen shot is 85%. This means that out of the content that can be compressed, the average level of compression is 85%. 1.12 TB would have been sent over the network but due to compression only 164GB was sent.
The “Overall Compression to Date” is 81%. This number should equate to your bandwidth usage, assuming that all your traffic is from the ALB-X. In this example most of the traffic is compressible, as such the overall reduction in bandwidth is 81%. 1.17TB would have been sent but only 0.25Tb was actually sent. We can see in this example that the max throughput for this site was 34.51Mpbs with peak connections hitting 202. It had processed 50 million hits.
