Features & Benefits

Layer 7 Load Balancing
The jetNEXUS ALB-X operates at the application protocol level. By understanding the type of data it is processing (in this case HTTP and HTTPS), the ALB-X is able to deliver features such as URL switching, cookie based persistence and request scanning.

Multiple Load Balancing Strategies
The jetNEXUS ALB-X has a number of load balancing strategies to suit your business requirements including Round Robin, Least Number of Connections, IP Sticky and Cookie Sticky.

Powerful Content Caching
Through caching frequently requested content on behalf of the application, the jetNEXUS ALB-X significantly reduces server load and accelerates applications. The ALB-X cache control GUI enables the intuitive configuration of complex reusable caching rules.

Connection Management
Connection Management is an advanced feature that can optimize the performance of TCP / IP as well as manage the level of stress placed on the web servers.

Application Acceleration
The jetNEXUS ALB-X uses acceleration algorithms to deliver compressed, optimised content in a form that is readable by browsers for superb page delivery times.

SSL Offload
High performance SSL termination removes the overheads of CPU intensive encryption from web servers. In addition to saving on server resources, moving the encryption process to the edge of the network has major management benefits.

HTTP Content Compression
The ALB-X has rule-based HTTP Content Compression for improved performance and bandwidth savings.

Advanced Server Health Monitoring
It is vital that a load balancer only sends requests to servers that are performing correctly. As well as offering ping and simple TCP tests, the ALB-X can perform a full web GET and check the response is as it should be.

Management
The jetNEXUS ALB-X allows complete system administration via a secure web-based interface which provides real-time logging, statistics and reporting on inbound and outbound traffic for effici
