Leading provider of award-winning application traffic management software, Zeus Technology, has set the New Year off on a positive note with the announcement of new strategic partner jetNEXUS.

As part of the deal, jetNEXUS will sell Zeus Extensible Traffic Manager Load Balancer (ZXTM LB) on its platform. One of the first companies to benefit from the partnership is Griffin Internet (www.griffin.com), who will utilize the joint technology offering for the launch of a Dedicated Server and SAN Hosting solution.

ZXTM LB provides high availability server load balancing and application acceleration, maximizing security, reliability and scalability of network services using Zeus' market leading traffic management technology. ZXTM LB forms part of the jetNEXUS product portfolio, which includes a range of high performance, scaleable and robust appliance products that can transform the operations of a network infrastructure.

Working with Zeus allows us to extend our product offering to incorporate one of the leading traffic management solutions on the market today. commented Greg Howett, Director at jetNEXUS. As an emerging player in the market, we look forward to capitalizing on Zeus' ten years experience and expertise in the sector. Griffin Internet is just the first of many customers we look forward to signing up to benefit from this new partnership.

Adrian Sunderland, Technical Director at Griffin Internet said: Our new IP SAN based Dedicated Server solution is all about providing reliability, performance, scalability and excellent value for money. When we were choosing a load balancing platform we needed something that would meet all these requirements. I am delighted that with the combination of Zeus ZXTM software and jetNEXUS appliance we found a solution that succeeded on all counts.

By linking with Zeus, jetNEXUS is set to increase market penetration with the additional functionality that the ZXTM family provides.
