jetNEXUS ALB-X

The jetNEXUS Accelerating Load Balancer Extreme (ALB-X) is high performance web load balancer and application accelerator that offers Enterprise like features, but at an SME price point.

Beyond features found in what would be considered a traditional load balancer, the ALB-X can be considered an Application Delivery Controller (ADC) by providing advanced features such Layer 7 Load Balancing, Compression, Content Caching and SSL Offload.

The ALB-X can help reduce your data centre costs by reducing load on your web server infrastructure, yet improve performance of your applications while reducing your bandwidth requirements.

For organisations that have made the investment in virtualisation, a VMware Ready certified version of the ALB-X is available that provides the same feature set as the ALB-X appliance.
