Web Hosters and Service Providers:
Websites have become a critical component of most businesses core operations. Having poor website performance or poor reliability can destroy or severely damage a business and its reputation. The increasing importance of a company website has placed greater emphasis on security, reliability and scalability.
Many of today’s service providers fully recognise the need for load balancing solutions that assist with maximum availability and web performance. Many still see these solutions as only hardware based, requiring an initial Capex outlay. This presents an immediate problem for service providers who base their revenue model on monthly income. What's worse, the utilization of the hardware equipment may not take place immediately, resulting in it sitting idle for a period of time, depreciating in value and not generating income.
Hardware devices take time to source and deploy and take up valuable datacenter space.
Zeus Solution:
Zeus’ SPLA lets Service Providers rent Zeus’ load balancing and application delivery products to their customers on a monthly basis which matches the typical hosting provider licensing model in terms of other services.
Zeus' is the only software based load balancer available on the market.
The Zeus SPLA program allows hosters to better align their revenues with their costs, meeting the needs of both customers and working capital.
As more organizations host their applications online, there is increasing demand for service providers to offer application acceleration and application delivery solutions that go beyond the capabilities of legacy hardware solutions.
The price/performance achieved by placing Zeus Traffic Manager on the server hardware of your choice whether it be running on UltraSPARC T2, AMD or Intel X86 outstripes that of proprietary network appliances like F5 and Citrix.
The graph above illustrates how, by using Zeus, organizations needing a load balancer or application traffic management solution can benefit from the wide availability of high performance servers, rather than having to purchase proprietary network appliances.
This price/performance ratio is supported by the low cost of acquisition, lower total cost of ownership, lower depreciation and increased return on investment that only a pure software solution, such as Zeus can provide.
The tests were carried out using Zeus Traffic Manager software on Sun SPARC Enterprise servers and AMD and Intel-based servers.
Because Zeus load balancer is available as software and will run on the server hardware vendor of your choice you can realize considerable cost savings and performance benefits. As your server hardware vendor makes improvements to the underlying CPU, Zeus Traffic Manager benefits from these improvements. As the server hardware gets faster so does Zeus Traffic Manager, this is often referred to as Riding Moore's Law.
