Zeus exceeds expectations for Paxonix
Paxonix, a division of MeadWestvaco the $6 billion leader in the global packaging industry, is working with Zeus Technology to ensure its online services operate at the same performance ...
March 27, 2006
A pioneer of solutions for the management of brand assets, Paxonix provides a comprehensive, fully integrated web-based service to help companies manage their branding and packaging lifecycles. Its online tools are used by pharmaceutical, health and beauty and consumer packaging organizations to track packaging projects from start to finish.
Paxonix initially approached Zeus Technology to replace its aging load balancers with an SSL-capable product. However, the company quickly realized it could derive additional operational benefits from Zeus; a leading developer of application traffic management software.
PaxPro is Paxonix's web-enabled modular kit for organizations that need assistance with routing and approvals, rapid prototyping, workflow and collaboration plus regulatory compliance. The speed of its delivery is governed by numerous factors including the customer's internet connection, the quantity of data to be transferred and the amount of processing that PaxPro needs to carry out.
As customer connection speeds are largely out of its control, the Paxonix team knew it needed a robust load balancing product with content compression capabilities. After a full evaluation of all major application traffic management products available on the market, Paxonix chose ZXTM - the only solution available as standalone software.
John Horton, director of operations at Paxonix explains more, "ZXTM exceeded our expectations from the outset. Once the decision had been made to work with Zeus, it took just one hour to get our engineers using ZXTM for themselves. With other products it was 8-10 times the effort. ZXTM's user interface is incredibly intuitive and has increased the amount of time our engineers have available. They don't have to read through the product manual time and again and its use has reduced mean repair time from several hours to 15-20 minutes."
Steve Palmer, vp of marketing at Zeus Technology said, "At the heart of ZXTM is a unique traffic routing language called TrafficScript. This powerful language lets organizations specify the business rules which define how application traffic is redirected around a network. This core capability plus many more performance benefits including compression capabilities, provide companies like Paxonix with a robust foundation for development of any application platform."
Providing centralized control and resilience, ZXTM is a management, security and optimization solution which ensures swift and seamless interaction between web-enabled application services. It translates business logic into traffic management decisions, differentiating service availability, automating complex recovery tasks and providing richer information with finer-grained controls.
