Application Delivery Controller

Comprehensive Application Acceleration, Load Balancing and Web Security

Intelligent, high-performance yet affordable Application Delivery Controllers and Server Load Balancer appliances.

Gartner states: “The era of load balancing is long past, and organizations will be better served to focus their attention on improving the delivery of applications.”

Opteq iQ offers everything you need for load balancing, high availability, scalability, traffic management, bandwidth limiting, request rate shaping, web content caching, web content compression, ssl offload and service level monitoring.

The Opteq Application Delivery solution is an application delivery appliance that makes applications run up to 10X faster. Installed as a standalone solution or as part of a larger end to end wan optimisation deployment application delivery optimises applications with advanced L4-7 load balancing, SSL offloading, accelerates performance, increases security with an integrated firewall and substantially lowers costs by increasing Web server efficiency and ensures 24/7 availability of business critical applications.

Load balancing is a way of making sure that the information on your server remains easily and efficiently accessible, even during the busiest periods. It works by enabling multiple servers to respond to visitors with the same content, depending on the load each server has at the time. Users are therefore not affected by demands placed on the server by other users.

 

This solution is ideal for anyone with the following requirements:

  • Optimised Web site Performance:
    • By seamlessly sharing visitors over multiple web servers, Load Balancing helps to improve the reliability and speed of your web site
  • Maximum Uptime
    • Your web site stays online even if one web server is temporarily unavailable - the site will be served by an alternative web server.
  • Ideal for High-Traffic Web sites
    • If you're expecting a large number of customers to visit your web site as your business grows, Load Balancing is the ideal solution to share the load.

Unlike other approaches that require multiple point solutions, Opteq is a fully integrated web application delivery appliance. Deployed in front of web servers, the Opteq appliance includes high-speed traffic management via load balancer

and content switching with application acceleration, content caching, SSL acceleration, network optimization, and application performance monitoring. Like all Opteq appliances the modular architecture ensures this base functionality can expand to include carrier grade traffic management, wan optimisation and layer 7 DPI visibilities.

Solution Highlights

• Load balancing • Traffic shaping
• Content Compression • Connection Management
• Content Caching • SSL Acceleration

We can also accelerate your Citrix, Microsoft Sharepoint and Microsoft Terminal Services based applications

With Opteq, customers can choose the functionality they want and couple that with the appliance of their choice based on the performance they need.

Optimising the server farm is the first step in optimising application delivery both locally and across the Wan. From a central location you can in addition use carrier grade bandwidth management / traffic shaping to prioritise business critical applications to the edge sites and where necessary one can deploy edge units for a full wan acceleration deployment.
