Unlike many appliance load balancers, the unit is a snap to install and manage, thanks to its excellent Web-based management interface. In our testing, the simple installation took about 30 minutes. The initial IP address configuration must be done with a PC connected to the Equalizer's serial port. The original Equalizer products handled only http transactions, but this version supports WAP and NAS servers as well. These features allow a single Equalizer to manage and distribute traffic for any combination of Web, WAP, and NAS devices.
Larger models are also available.
Since any load balancer is potentially a single point of failure, you can configure two Equalizers in a fail-over configuration. This way, a second, standby unit takes over if the first unit fails. All Rights Reserved.
