Many organizations are running services on virtualization platforms to reduce costs and improve efficiency. ZXTM Virtual Appliance (ZXTM VA) is a certified VMware Virtual Appliance for VMware Virtual Infrastructure 3.
Virtualization can manage the cost and operational problems caused by the vast proliferation of underutilized machines in redundant server environments.
ZXTM in Virtualized Hosting Environments
This paper outlines ZXTM's capabilities within virtualized service-hosting environments.
If your organization is one of the many who are moving their server infrastructure to blades, you'll be glad to know that with ZXTM you can use your investment in Blades for your traffic management layer as well as your applications.
This white paper investigates the performance of the ZXTM software on blade servers. It was demonstrated that ZXTM ran as efficiently on blades as on conventional hardware, and that performance scaled linearly as additional blades were added to the ZXTM cluster.
Read about the applicaitons that ZXTM has been tested and validated with.
ZXTM KnowledgeHub - Deployment Documentation
Hints, Tips and FAQs useful when configuring ZXTM to manage traffic to a range of third-party applications and services.
Multicore, 64 bit server architectures
Multicore, 64 bit processors make your calculations run faster and let your applications use more memory - precisely the requirements of your Traffic Management layer. ZXTM software takes advantage of the latest developments in hardware technology to give you the best possible performance.
Service-Orientated Architectures and XML
ZXTM is ideal for managing complex SOA traffic. Full transaction inspection and full XML awareness (including XPath searching, XSLT transformation and DTD/Scheme validation) means that ZXTM has the capability to inspect, manipulate and route all HTTP-bourne SOAP transactions.
If you are hosting or adopting Web 2.0 applications, be prepared for a huge growth in traffic, the need to manage vast quantities of XML data and even higher expectations of performance and responsiveness from your users.
