Most people, when they think of load balancers, think "that's the network guy's problem." But Zeus' ZXTM software-only load balancer is actually designed for application developers.
But why would you bring a load balancer into your process? Simple - by offloading SSL and other tasks, and caching common requests, ZXTM can increase an application's performance by as much as 800%. It also has the means to improve application security by inspecting and scrubbing traffic, and by letting developers establish rules (using the Zeus TrafficScript scripting language) for masking sensitive information and handling suspicious traffic.
In this 12-minute GlassFish Unhooked podcast interview with Zeus product manager Owen Garrett, we cover in more detail the many ways ZXTM improves application performance and security, and offer documentation and free trial info to help you get started with ZXTM.
If you're already convinced that ZXTM will help you, feel free to jump right to our Zeus landing page for a white paper and links to free trial offers.
PS- I did this interview with a mouthful of novocaine. See if you can tell!
