The most innovative traffic management technology on the market just got better, with the launch of Version 4, the latest addition to the award-winning Zeus Extensible Traffic Manager (ZXTM) range.

Taking traffic management to another level, ZXTM V4 incorporates a range of new features to further accelerate applications and provide end-users with a seamless online experience.

A new XML/SOAP Control API strengthens ZXTM's existing unique integration capabilities by allowing ZXTM to drive and be driven by other OEM/third-party applications or devices on the network. This means that ZXTM can be used to request additional capacity from a suitably-equipped provisioning server during periods of high demand, or to push out policy changes to Intrusion Prevention Systems when ZXTM detects an application-based attack.

As a further enhancement to ZXTM's application acceleration capabilities, V4 offers Web Content Caching. Speeding up the delivery of content, this new feature reduces latency and bandwidth costs, relieving load from web and application servers and improving quality of experience for users. When several clients request the same web page, ZXTM V4 serves up responses directly, without having to forward the request to a back-end server.

V4's unique capability of 'differentiated caching' allows several different versions of the same page to be cached - for example, a different version of a home page for casual browsers or logged-in users.

With a new look user interface and further improvements to the RuleBuilder within ZXTM, optional support for FIPS level 3 SSL key management and powerful enhancements to TrafficScript, ZXTM V4 continues to break new boundaries in application traffic management.

Paul Di Leo, CEO at Zeus Technology says: "We are constantly developing ways to improve technology to ensure our customers can stay one step ahead of the competition today, while preparing their systems for the challenges of tomorrow. ZXTM has had a very successful year, receiving a number of industry accolades and many market leaders signing up for the product. Our team of experts has worked hard to improve on this version, and we are confident that with this launch we are breaking barriers in traffic management, introducing a truly innovative solution to the market."

ZXTM is available as software or as an appliance, and V4 is now available for evaluation from http://www.zeus.com/downloads/.
