Zeus Technology, the acknowledged leader in Internet infrastructure solutions, today announced that BT Connect have selected to deploy the new Zeus Extensible Traffic Manager, the next generation in high-availability, application-centric traffic management.

BT Openworld, British Telecom's SOHO to SME shared hosting platform, is one of the UK's leading Internet service providers. Running on the BT Connect platform, the service hosts in excess of 100,000 users.

BT's purchase of two pairs of ZXTM's comes just days after the product's official launch and the systems will be installed on Solaris boxes hosted at BT Connect's data centre in Cardiff.

Neil Parsons, Systems Infrastructure Manager at BT Connect, said "We've used Zeus products extensively over the past eighteen months and have been impressed by their performance. Zeus Extensible Traffic Manager's capabilities, in particular its ability to terminate SSL enabling us to reduce development costs, were key reasons for our choice".
