Zeus expands ZXTM family to deliver secure application traffic management

Zeus Technology introduces appliance and tailored software Internet infrastructure solutions

The ZXTM next-generation application-centric traffic manager enables companies to securely manage and optimize traffic around both web-based applications and websites, ensuring the highest levels of security, resilience and performance for web based applications and delivering swift and seamless interaction between web-enabled application services.

Five new products join the existing ZXTM software solution with functionality now available either as software or as an all-in-one appliance. The new launches further extend ZXTM's capabilities to provide solutions for entry level load balancing as well as bandwidth and service level management.

"Successfully managing web application traffic is becoming increasingly critical to organisations of all sizes and types", said Paul di Leo, CEO, Zeus Technology. "The new, expanded ZXTM family builds on the success of our original product to provide high performance solutions to organizations of all sizes."

Launched in April 2004, ZXTM customers range from hosting providers and enterprises to SMBs, all looking to optimize, secure and manage their application traffic. These include BT, Play.com, The Planet, Skyrock, We Energies and Virgin Holidays.

"In order to successfully deploy web-based application architectures, performance, security and ease of management have all become key to business success", commented Steve Broadhead, Founder, Broadband Testing. "Our comprehensive testing and research in this market has already demonstrated that Zeus has unique technology and leads the way on price:performance. Now, with the expansion of what was already an excellent product range, we believe that the company offers a choice second to none for organizations evaluating this market"

Available now the ZXTM software solutions include:

Easier to Manage

As current web-based applications become more complex the focus for networks is now on the application, meaning that managing traffic intelligently has become correspondingly complex. ZXTM is designed to make managing complex network services easier by providing centralized control and resilience for all application traffic.

Greater Capacity

Web-based traffic is increasing in volume in both the consumer and high value business to business markets Current load balancers can only balance a few simple protocols across a relatively small number of servers. ZXTM's unique process architecture ensures it can handle more transactions, more content inspection rules, more application services and more back-end servers. Its price / performance ratio surpasses all other traffic management solutions available on the market.

Future-proof Traffic Management

Zeus Extensible Traffic Manager is a scalable solution that can be adapted to meet changing business requirements. The functionality of the ZXTM product family is vertically-scalable enabling businesses to upgrade from load-balancing (ZXTM LB) to a full application traffic management solution (ZXTM) as enhanced features are required - without complicated migration.
